Believe it or not, the world will survive this transition.
The weird thing is that record stores are making a comeback. We saw one not long ago and went in. Apparently vinyl is "retro" and cool. We were actually looking for a turntable to replace ours (we have a lot of vinyl) Turntables cost more now than 5 years ago. People are selling them from their closets for 100 or more. My husband actually works from vinyl to create digital copies (for himself). But see, what is, is not and what once was, might be again and it goes round and round.
