I can't see myself ever ditching my mp3 player. First of all I have too much music to fit on a smartphone, and I refuse to get a smartphone anyways because of the data plans. I feel sales of mp3 players will decline, but there will always be a market for them. I don't see any technology on the horizon to replace mp3s. Steaming is nice, but is only useful so far as a reliable internet connection is available (a problem while driving, going for a run, etc.)

If your current player doesn't break, and nobody else wants one, aren't they dead? I know that I'll never buy another one, and I used to buy the latest one every year.
