I said 5—10 years, but unfortunately brick-and-mortar CD stores with a deep selection are going the way of high-end audio dealers. That is, they're rapidly disappearing. You already have to order older CDs and anything out of the mainstream from Amazon or another online dealer. I suspect that within 3—5 years, CDs will become a niche item for audiophiles and music collectors with eclectic tastes, while the rest of the public will get its music from iTunes or another online source.
