I don't claim to be an expert either but I highly doubt even sets of a dozen CDs would cost more to mass produce than even a fairly small capacity USB drive. CDs are much simpler items.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong though.

This is the complete list I made some time ago. You have to add Pennyroyal Tea at the beginning of the THB era, and somewhere inside the thread there is the updated list of the Postcards era.

CDs are cheaper than chips to make. Thinking about it in a couple of years we'll be listening to things from "the cloud" anyways. We probably won't even need earphones as things a microwaved into our brains with track names beamed onto our eyeballs. I probably won't even need to choose as endless recommendations stream from the heavens. Bring on the matrix.
