Popular Post Norton Posted April 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2020 It’s too big a leap from CD sales declining to an inability to own digital music. Firstly, I’ve not noticed the music I’m interested in, at least, disappearing from CD. On the contrary, there’s been something of an explosion in the works of 19th and 20th c English composers on CD which suggests it’s a medium well suited to low volume niches (just how many copies of an Arnell symphony CD does Dutton sell for example?). So I would suggest that providing there is some market for it (which your preferences suggest there is) CD will continue. Maybe after sales have plummeted it will arise as an artisan product, on audiophile quality polycarbonate? I don’t get though why a CD is in any way better to a download in terms of provenance, reliability, mastering? The medium is not the music and in effect, a CD is just a download burnt to disc. Not that the download market is that healthy though either. Teresa and jabbr 1 1 Link to comment
