"At CES it was announced that in 2018 the majors will stop producing cds"
Alan, have you got a reference or link to that statement? I have not seen anything of this nature and I am sure that if true the mainstream press would be running stories on it.
As far as I am aware although CD sales continue to decline they still represent a large amount of the record industry's turnover and I cannot imagine rthe record companies abandoning these sales as early as next year. Downloads seem to be declining more rapidly so abandoning CDs in 2018 leaves streaming as the only sizeable medium left. I can't give that credence.

Pete
