Thread-topic: LONG-TERM/PRESERVATION AUDIO

The question actually posted specifically asked about long term preservation. The problem is not whether or not CD's and DVD's will last for posterity, but if the players will still be around in the future. Although digital and optical media is wonderful for providing access, I believe that the Library of Congress still promotes utilizing reel-to-reels to serve as their preservation copies. Can someone please correct me, if I am wrong.

Thank you,
