<font color='#000080'>I'm thinking wireless, nearly instantaneous transfer via high-speed, cellular-like tech (or at the worst, wired music downloads will take on more quality options). It would take the form of a service-oriented provision, where you pay a fee each month and are alloted the ability to browse, play and sort various material.
Storage is cool (and necessary) for movies and multi-channel surround, hi-def music, etc... but I say low-tech storage needs (relatively speaking) are virtually gone in 5 years...
My opinion and best guess, of course.</font>
