When I was at the post office shipping books & cds today, the postal clerk was very inquisitive about what was in the packages, telling me the USPS has changed the definition of media mail.  I looked it up:

https://about.usps.com/notices/not121/not121_tech.htm

http://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/173.htm#1113509

None of the links mention cds being eligible for media mail.  Media mail's overpriced as it is; if it's no longer an option, what are we to do about our swaps?

Thanks!

Thanks Jerrie,  I will read the info later when I get time.

I use First Class to send CD's.  2 Forever Stamps (.98¢)

 I might use Media Mail if I had to mail a group of 4 or 5 CD'S.

CDs are covered in section 4.1.e of the second link you provided - sound recordings.   A CD is a sound recording and is still eligible for media mail.
