That is an interesting analogy 
How long you think is this shorter duration expectation for trance cds.... ?

honestly i think it depends on whos releasing the cd, and the artists in there..
some cd´s maybe don´t rech the 2 weeks life expectation, while othrs may pass one year me thinks

I think that this is very possible ..
An example that I found scary is the new Gms and Space Tribe cd being sold out

In my personal taste, ambient & chillout lasts a long time because the genre is a lot smaller in regards to number of releases, and these releases are much more unique in that there is no set formula. Each album has a lot of personality and is individual.
i happily listen to ambient and chillout that is 10+ years old and it sounds fresh to me, whereas a lot of trance from last year just sound average to me.
Trance is very formulatic now-a-days and therefore people get bored easily. As well, the people most likely to buy CD's or vinyl are now DJ's only (and a few hardcore collectors), and to get gigs you must have the latest release if not unreleased tunes.
Therefore trance requires a higher turn over in releases and sales, and noone ones to hear that tune that smashed the dancefloor all of summer 2009, we want fresh tune like fresh orange juice!
I guess where I live I am luck in that both chillout/ambient * dark psy (style I mainly dj), are only played by a minor few dj's so playing older stuff is fine and i just stick to the 4-5 labels of trance I like anyway.
I think it is always difficult for a physical retail shop to meet the demands of the electronic music scene in general, hence why most stick to selling pop, rock and heavy metal.
I cannot name a single retail store I know of in Australia that stocks psy/goa trance but they have plenty of chillout/ambient/world

Sure you want new .. I understand what you are trying to say..
Chill out is really immortal music. Ultimae, Tribal vision and Chill code are really some of the best around
Peace
