"You'll never see a collector have the original digital copy (on a USB drive I suppose) of an album in their gallery the way that they might have the first press of a record.". -I don't disagree with this, necessarily. But, I bet when 8track, cd's etc were released there were plenty of people that tossed their vinyl because they couldn't conceive of anyone ever wanting those "relics" ever again.
The same may be true for mp3 someday. Who knows what different consumption devices we will have? It could be that someday mp3 players seem so very "tactile" compared to whatever advanced listening system is devised?! -Time will tell

But mp3 is an abstract concept. Intangible in itself. iPods may look weird in the future but digital music will exist in some form similar digital format.

You're right. But who knows what the future delivery system is? Musical pheromones? JK.
