The iPod, phenomenom, unlike the Walkman is capitalizing on a proprietary content source, built-in to the UI. I think iTunes needs to address the AAC bitrate quality issue.

However, I think the very essence of Tower's success is the nostalgic holding on by its customer base, who still see in CDs and vinyls, the true source for quality music.

I don't think the conversion to digital music is going to be fast, given the fallible nature of the computers which archive it. We're really in a point in which we're beginning to scrutinize the real value of all the impulsive buys of singles on iTunes, that I still think Cds have 5-10 more years of life left.
