Yes, but at the start CDs offered better quality than longplays. In contrast digital photography was quality-wise a crap compared to film and it needed many years to achieve quality that is possible with 35mm slide film. Now that this quality leap happened with introduction of 6MPix DSLRs and P&S digi cameras produced very good quality output for postcard prints (as most people did them for family and the likes photos), more and more people will go digital - for quality and/or for convenience.
