Tape cassettes are still in effect too, even though they were supposed to be extinct "soon" a long time ago. The idea that cd's will be gone in the span of a few years is silly when you consider the digital divide. There are billions of people in this world, millions in this country who don't have access to their own P.C., much less broadband. I doubt that by 2006 or even 2010 the amount of unwired will become so negligable that the industry could afford to ignore them.
The economics of the music industry are so inflated right now any way and have been for decades. P2P just puts the power back in our hands. I think multimillion dollar salaries for record execs will we gone before CDs will.
