Vinyl is long dead, only prodded from its sleep by obsessive collectors...cassette tapes went the way of the dodo, and compact discs have been shown the door. VHS is out, DVDs have their days numbered, even Blu-Ray isn't expected to last more than a few years...the new media is downloadable digital media, sound and video files stored on computers and, of course, the new portable media players.

Sleek and sexy, the latest models offer touchscreens, wireless functionality, sleek menus and masses of storage space.
