While I love advances in technology.....I really detest having my playing
mediums become obsolete so quickly. Making for a
big $$ outlay. How long will it be before "digital" is dead? Or we absolutely HAVE to pay to get decent music much like we have to
now with TV ? (Cable or Dish) As for the music industry? I like music or I don't like it. I'm not label loyal, radio station loyal, only loyal to a few artists and celebrate that technology has allowed for the evolution of music of many kinds even as the record companies played it too safe. ]]>Jun 26th 2007 5:38PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/26/is-the-compact-disc-format-dead/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/26/is-the-compact-disc-format-dead/Jul 7th 2007 12:06AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/26/is-the-compact-disc-format-dead/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/26/is-the-compact-disc-format-dead/
The price drop never evolved, and the price remained fixed at $16.99 (and in fact, increased), confirming consumers' worst fears that record companies were just plain greedy.

I welcome the new digital format (despite its slightly degraded audio quality compared CD), and more so if it hurts the pockets of those same record companies that gouged us for years, forcing us to purchase bland album efforts in order to obtain one or two listenable recordings.

I also enjoy being able to pad my archives with older recordings that never made the transition from vinyl to CD, or were just unobtainable in any format until now.

Change is good. It forces companies to stay on their toes...the gravy train is over guys!]]>Jul 8th 2007 7:44AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/26/is-the-compact-disc-format-dead/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/26/is-the-compact-disc-format-dead/Jul 16th 2007 1:41PM
