Record Stores Dying? Not Hardly

“You’d think from looking at the headlines that there would be no point buying CDs at the moment because it’s a dying format. But it still accounts for more than 90% of the market in value terms. And as far as albums are concerned, it’s still the vast majority of the market. The perception that the CD belongs in the dark ages is totally wrong. Certainly, the CD remains a superior product to any digital alternatives: cheaper, easy to rip and burn, secure and coming with all the added peripherals such as cover, liner notes and lyrics.”
