Interesting post, Stu.  If I am any bellwether for the current trend, things are definitely changing, or more accurately, changing back.  I buy more vinyl (say 30-40 records a year) than I do CDs by far these days.   Any digitized music I get comes via download.   And vinyl has re-assumed its place in my heart as the most (or only) exciting media for listening to music.

Death to the CD, long live the groove!
