The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation

Of course with streaming music of vinyl quality is unobtainable at any price, I think you meant to say. The great mass of people abandoned the quality of records for the convenience of CD. It has taken a very long time, decades in fact (and is ongoing still), but those who really listen to music naturally gravitate to quality, and that means records. Is it now 15 or 20 years, or more, that records have been the one growth segment in the music industry? I've long since lost count. Or interest. 

If you enjoy music get your records. Records do run out, and unlike digital cannot be replicated to infinity. Its only their sound quality goes to infinity. Given time, price will follow suit.

Not much of a business analyst?

These guys may not get it right, but they have analyzed the pattern for sure...

" Now it’s reversed, CD’s are a few bucks"

Where are you buying new cds for a few bucks ? Please provide the link, because some of us that "really listen to music" still listen to cds or other digital media

I enjoy music. Too much great music is not and never will be on "records.'

of course, you have that quite backwards. literally the golden age of both music, and the recording process, came and went prior to digital.

it’s not just that analog is better, but that the recording process served the music and music making, much better then. and the musicians were....more special.

we do have inferior digital copies of many of these recordings, but not nearly enough of them.

few people would want only current music, in substitute for music from that classic period. let alone digital instead of analog. and there are plenty of vinyl versions of current music to keep it interesting. personally i don't want to choose so i have top flight digital. but if i had to choose, i know what it would be.
