I will miss the art though, looking at a pdf at the computer is not like slouching on the sofa with a cd sleeve dreaming away.

That's funny. When CDs first came out, I (and lots of other folks) lamented that we could no longer look forward to the art, inserts, booklets, etc. that we used to get in those full-sized LP sleeves.
I never liked CDs. As someone said, they were a flawed design from the beginning. Not as warm and friendly as the vinyl LP, and not technically advanced enough to be easily portable and storable, and too susceptible to damage on top of all that. Unfortunately we haven't had much choice over the last two decades so I'm stuck with hundreds of them that I won't be able to afford to replace in whatever the new format is.
I think the last album I bought new on vinyl was Bob Dylan's "Under the Red Sky." Wonder what the last album I'll buy new on CD will be. Oh, wait, I never buy new albums on CD, I get them used from Amazon for a third of the price... never mind.
