Fact, the format is dying

Fact, optical storage is the ideal listening medium for total sound quality

So why haven't music blurays or similar caught on among audiophiles

Maybe because it is easier to switch out CD's containing 20 or so songs, than it is to cycle through 100's of songs on a single disc?

Because vinyl is cooler, and digital is more convenient.

The top musicians right now include Post Malone, Nicki Minaj, and 6ix9ine, and you think most people care about audio quality?

That doesn't have any thing to do with audio quality.

I don't know man, whenever I listen to Nicki Minaj the quality of audio takes a turn real quick.

Uh, no that would be vinyl.
It's analog -> analog so there's no data loss.

CD's use the .wav format, which you can just get digital devices to play .wav.

Well that's really wrong but ok
Edit: Well, no, I think you're right to say "ideal". Carrying around equipment for vinyl is not ideal at all.

Because CDs/DVDs/blurays are fragile pieces of shit and only someone nostalgic would prefer a CD over a superior in every way 200 gb phone.

Plus the lasers burn out and get dirty. Then once it breaks you lose that $10-$70 forever.

Because CDs only hold several hundred MB, whereas you can buy a card or drive with dozens or hundreds of times that space for relatively cheap.

No they aren't, that's the only way I buy music. Hell I recently ordered the Doom soundtrack on disc.
