The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation
"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." Not much of a business analyst? These guys may not get it right, but they have analyzed the pattern for sure... https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/pages/infographics/music-in-the-air-2020/index.html?cid=sch-pd... |
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. |
"literally the golden age of both music, and the recording process, came and went prior to digital.... As much as it is true that even current teenagers listen to Simon and Garfunkel, I would not venture into saying that they think of current music as not being the golden age for the music they like. And they like it, no doubt about it. Having said that, and in case I have not already thanked you, thanks for that Ferit Odman LP recommendation. It was worth it and I am recommending it to everyone who is willing to pay attention to me. I guess I am preaching coexistence? |
