So what's the correct possessive form?
Is there a need for a possessive form?
Do CDs possess anything that needs to be referred to in that way?

That CD's songs.

It would probably be better form to say the songs on the CD or the songs
on those CDs, but the potential is there in English for inanimate
objects to posses things.
