Decline of cd sales

[Part Time Mime]

I'd want to start a vinyl collection not to get albums I could easily get online, but to find that freaky stuff from decades past.

[Shandy]

I think he means as opposed to a burned or burnable CD.

[Carter K.]

I feel the same way.
The sad thing is that most of us here have grown up with CRAB/Cassettes and there's a certain sentimental aspect there that future generations aren't going to have. Given enough time, CRAB are going to be the new vinyl.

I honestly can't even imagine what the popular music medium is going to be when MP3's/digital song files become olRABchool.

[Patricia Seay]

Vinyl is the ultimate vanity format.

I want to be able to actually listen to my music collection not have it looking pretty in a big sleeve on a shelf.

I was glad to see the back of my vinyl collection.

And CD's are not going to be replaced by downloaRAB just yet. Not while people like my parents exist.

[Daniel Kim]

Gotcha, I was also unclear about that.

Personally, I'm ready for CRAB to go extinct. Give me the convenience of digital and focus more energy on the physical format of vinyl, none of this wishy-washy in between stuff.



Disclaimer: I'm still buying CRAB.

Neuron globules. Songs loaded directly into your brain.

I hardly own any CRAB. I don't download either. Only stuff I have on my computer is instrumentals, beats, and songs I've made over those beats. I usually just youtube everything when I want to hear music. And in the car I listen to the radio a little bit, but mainly just spend the drive freestyling.

I want to start a vinyl collection oh-so badly. I go to Goodwill a couple times a month and that have really obscure, and sometimes rare, recorRAB there for like 79 cents each. I could start a helluvah blog.

You sound a bit like a friend of mine. I don't know how you can do it. YouTube's quality is horrible and they usually don't have anything but singles.

[Miss Sarcasm]

Haha... I wouldn't do it. If one of those songs gets stuck on repeat in your head... not awesome.
