> will there be any such players in 10 or 20 years

I don't worry so much about hardware. A piece of hardware
can be maintained to last indefinitely. Technology doesn't
disappear or become de-invented, just falls into general dis-
use. It can be re-created, with more or less effort

The media is more of a concern. Electric and magnetic fields
dissipate, CDs and DVDs de-laminate, etc. Information is
lost

For stuff that can't (conveniently) be stored as hard copy,
that seems to mean constantly refreshing or updating the
storage medium
