Which is a puzzle, because when I tried to get a comment from a major label it took precisely 30 seconds for them to reply saying the whole thing was "nonsense'."<br /><br />Heh heh heh.cinderkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578961959712679966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373573052582581717.post-76615759974561546772012-08-09T10:34:30.032-07:002012-08-09T10:34:30.032-07:00Don't worry, Susan, you didn't fall into a...Don't worry, Susan, you didn't fall into a parallel universe where the record companies actually do things that make sense. They're still charging a bunch for CDs. When I look for stuff, I'm often looking for things that aren't on major labels, but when I do look at major label stuff, it's generally in the $14-17 range for single-disc albums.<br /><br />And the rumor (and article) are complete nonsense. Just because the record industry isn't making as much money as they used to from CD sales, they're still making millions. Why would they throw that away? Not everyone has a high-speed internet connection, and not everyone likes to buy things online. Hell, some people still play cassettes.<br /><br />I googled "CDs to be abandoned", found that SideLine article, and a few others who were referring to the SideLine article, and then this one from the NME. <br /><br />http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=146&title=are_major_labels_about_to_abandon_the_cd_1&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1<br /><br />He pretty much dismantles the SideLine article, and provides actual numbers and such.Brian McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18341634537134903424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373573052582581717.post-4625904461004445462012-08-09T10:11:53.041-07:002012-08-09T10:11:53.041-07:00Noooooo.....<>
