Surviving all of these soon-to-be-extinct dinosaurs will be vinyl LPs, which still sound better than CDs, MP3s, SACDs, DVD-As, FLACs, APEs, ad nauseum.

Well provided they don't have any scratches on them. One thing I noticed about vinyl back in the day, was that when I played some records where the length of a side was over 25 minutes, the sound deteriorated near the end of the side...I learned that was because to fit the grooves they actually made the width of the groove toward the end smaller so as to fit more music on the side.

They decreased the dynamic range and lower end bass response thus the narrowing of the grooves.
