CDs are too established and cheap to be gone in 5 years. Do the math (and these are probably too high):
cost of manufacturing a cd
labeled cd - $0.25
cd case - $0.15
case sleeve - $0.10
profit margin
$10.00 - $18.00
CDs are already largely obsolete for playing music, but it's going to be hard to replace them as a distribution medium.
