"Let's hope it goes the way of Betamax, MiniDisc. SA-CD etc..."
Betamax (in the form of BetaCam, DigiBeta etc) is one of the most used media for recording at boradcast quality in the world.
MiniDisk, although it didn't take off with pre-recorded music, is used throughout radio and the music industry by sound engineers. It was for a fair while the de facto choice for home recording.
SA-CD hasn't been spectacularly popular but has carved itself a niche with pre-recorded Classical music.
Not one of these technologies could be said to be dead.
