I was watching an msn video the other day about digital music download stores causing real CD stores such as Tower Records and that to close. Here is something during the video that was stated...
Quote:
In 1992 there were 4,685 chain music stores but today there are only now 1,695 chain music stores. Nearly 70 million iPods have been sold since 2001 and online album sales are through the roof growing 199% since just last year. CD sales have declined 8%
I seriously wonder how many years it'll be before all CD's are no longer being made and we're forced to resort into buying compressed 128k audio music from online music stores. I don't know about the rest of you but I for one perfer having a physical CD in my collection.
Grant I do have an mp3 player but that's because I want to be able to take my music with me places with out having to take the actual CD's and having them get damaged. I can also rip CD's at mp3 320k and put them on my mp3 player.
Anyways so do any of you think that in a few years time CD's may no longer be around?
