What will replace the CD?

The solution that appeals most to me is the 8cm DVD. It will hold twice
as much data as a CD, it's already a standard, and it costs practically
nothing to manufacture. Anyone with a DVD player can play one. I believe
all players must play 48k/16 bit PCM and 448kb/s Dolby Digital. The only
product development necessary would be portable players optimized for 8cm
discs.
Double sided and 2-layer discs are added possibilities.
Wouldn't appeal to the record labels. Breaking the copy protection on DVD's
is as easy as downloading something like DVD Decrypter or DVD Shrink.
Record companies want new copy protection schemes that are far better than
DVD. Ideally, they want something that can never be circumvented.
