Is the recorded music industry still viable?

[MetalNuts]

I believe it is a question to be answered by the younger generation whether they will continue buying on their own or just share without any limit of their music libraries.  I have bought my own and I am still buying and I uphold the copyrights in the CDs and files.

I agree that the first CDs sounded terrible; the mastering was terrible. At the same time, most of the initial CD players on the market were incapable of producing good sound with ANY recording.

 

This is true.  The same CDs I have bought 30 years ago sound differently nowadays because of the improvement of players and DACs.

Yes, do you prefer CD or ripped CD playback? 

 

I ripped my newly bought CDs into files and from then on I do not spin those CDs anymore.  They are left in boxes  to oxidize.🤣
