Are you sure about that? Can you still buy a VCR? The CD just celebrated 25 years. The VHS lasted about 31 years. I find it hard to believe that, with the rapid growth of digital distribution, that the CD has another 70 years in it. I'd be surprised if it had 10.
I can't take my whole library with me either. The question is whether you listen to all the music in your library on a regular enough basis to justify needing all of it with you at all times.
Ultimately, I don't have any problems with your objections to the iPod. I just find your arguments to be a little weak. For instance, you can get a 120GB iPod - that solves your space problems. I do acknowledge that there are other players on the market, perhaps some better than the iPod but using iTunes as an argument is not very logical.
