You never replied to my MP about selling me a couple to me (the Rizet-Besombes, notably)
TBH, if the CD had never invented the jewel case and stuck with all cardboard sleeves (those mini-LP Cds), it would probably be more apreciated nowadays.
Yup, given the humans' consumerism, why even bother to save the planet?? (It's too late anyways)
You know, the analog chain is fine, as long as it's AAA....
But as soon as there is a D in the chain, who cares if there are As in there? (except coming out of your speakers)
and nowadays how do you start a chain with something alse than a D after playing your acooustic instrument's note?
Find me an analog recording studio on the planet anymore?
That was never the case, IMHO... Even in our generations, there were plenty of singles sold (mostly to women) and plenty of people didn't play the LP the entire length. I had plenty of buddies who only ever played one side of their vinyls (and almost never the other). At high school the real full-album listeners/players were the minority. I'm not even sure the chicks listened to all songs on the ABBA albums they had bought.
I wouldn't be so sure (but don't give a hoot about value), but 4 or 5 years is too son, IMHO. It will take time, but the next consumer generation (early adults) will hate their parent's mediums (downloads, cassettes and vinyls) strictly by the spite/rejection hype and will start prefering their grandparents' media (CD)
Not surprised at all (and that's less than I figured)... Compared to how many vinyls for the same period?
Well the bands figuire that they sell a lot more downloads so make the majority of income via that "media" by jacking the price up.
If they bother with physical things at all, it's to please those that would not buy the downloads, but would like to see them following them as well
Mmmhhh!!!... Don't get the cassette thing at all, but let's face it, this is a stupid hipster consumerism thing (TBH, I haven't seen any on sale in record shops)
I never cared about bei ng a hipster and actually don't like them
That's a bit my PoV: who cares about value? And if I can't buy new CDs, I won't buy new music anymore.
Plenty of things to lis-quidate (in case I ever need cash) before I get to my CDs... and that will bring next to nothing, so no point of doing so.
Yeah, valid point.... but how much time & money "wasted" to master that technology?
What I'm fearing is that CD/DVD players will become rare on desktop. It's already becoming rarer to find a laptop with them (our office laptop for teleworking don't have them anymore)
The CD players are now rare in new cars (that's worysome, but I guess I'd have to look for separated CD deck instead of in-built (in dashboard) units are still being made.
And maybe one day in stereo shop, CD decks wcould become rare. Not that I care for this last issue, since I own three hi-end CD decks (plus the hi-fi CD burner), they'll last until I'm gone.
