You really believe this ?

Everyone says it but that don't make it true for every label out there.

Weren't CDs supposed to kill records. Not happened yet.

Ahh but its that generation that only buys music they download so they have no concept of what owning the physical object actually means. But thats for convenience. Does it necessarily mean they never buy a physical object ?

Of course it works well for those who download tracks one at a time.

I think music is losing some of its power held several years back.

Do you mean the 'physical' object here ?

I do recall someone on the board here keeping several versions of the same album and tagging it appropriately. Could not understand the reason for it.

benn600:
If the physical media truly died, imagine interviews on talk shows.  No more album containing the cover art?  Now cover art glued to cardboard?

It's not that I feel I need physical media (any more) ... always thinking about ways to reduce physical media.  Going to start another thread relating to this.  Physical media storage debate: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=53952.new

Many of us will. I got the new mono and stereo White Album.  I must have purchased this album 6-8 times.

rwarn852:
I agree that re-releasing everything for a quick buck is wrong. I did enjoy the Beatles ones though.

Mr ChriZ:
CD was never sufficiently better than Records, it was just more convenient.

You tried to buy a new film on Video Cassette recently though?
