How much longer will CDs be made?

I "need" to justify spending $5000-$7000 for an outstanding CD player that will work well with my Spectral/MIT system.
My wife would prefer I buy a new flat panel HI DEF TV and Blu-Ray for movies and have money left over.
She says the SonyXA9000ES I use is perfectly fine for music.
She feels downloading HD music is imminent and figures I won't listen to my CDs when I hear the increased quality of Hi Def music downloads. She's comparing the improvement to Blu Ray movies over DVDs.
Personally, with the DVD-A & SACD demise (which I find sad)
and the exponential growth of lo-fi players I no longer know what to think.
Will CDs continue to be made for at least the next 5 years?
All comments welcome.

I don't watch many movies or care to invest in a an HT set-up. What does this question have to do with HT anyway?

CD is not dead and many will be enjoying CD's for 10- 20 years. Some of the posts here really shock me?

No need to spend $7000 as one can find $2000 players that sound as good or better. Go ahead and spend $1800 on a TRL Modified Sony DVP NS900v player. I have and I have not listened to a better player at any price

CD's just plain sound better then downloaded music right now. I will buy CD's until that changes at a cost less then my CD player - $1800.
