Yea, Ive got a Jbod sitting around somewhere. Just being pedantic but thats not forever either, there is no physical media that so far will last into infinity. I really thought that was where we would be by now considering how popular VHS, DVD and Vinyl and CDs were.
Forever as in, multiple lifetimes..
Yes, sadly physical media advancements are dead. I always thought it would be fun to see what comes after cd, if the internet hadn't come.
If only we could go back to reel to reels, such a great sounding format that really lasted (have some from 1950 that sound good as new) but the machines take care, and people dont listen to music at home anymore. And making tapes uses a lot of plastic that im not crazy about. But I love them anyway.
Thats wild you still have tapes! Do you have a VAC in your garage too? I kid.
There is a huge fidelity difference between physical media, as much as I have enjoyed mp3 it always sounded off and we know why. Data storage is still an enormous premium, I had hoped the future would reduce the price to access any media due to it not having to be printed, pressed or otherwise transferred physically, but that pipe dream is long gone.
