vinyl may be growing a bit, but it's still a tiny segment of the market--2.8m total units sold in 2010 vs. 325m cds. downloads will outsell cds for the first time in 2011. most telling stat, however, is that total 2010 music sales (downloads, cds, etc.) fell 12% from 2009. since i don't think people are listening to less music, i'd infer that free music sources like internet radio, free downloads, etc. are the unstoppable force. esp. as the economy continues to suck, i trust fewer people will be willing to pop fiteen bucks for an album in whatever medium.
Are the CD'S days numbered?
Ford will no longer put CD players in new cars. Are they going the way of cassette and 8 track?
