Global Music Sales Fall- Solution go analog

This is NOT news. I'm in the media duplication business;
and it's well known that the major record companies are
in deep doo-doo financially. The trade magazines in my
industry have been talking about sliding CD sales for
months.
But instead of producing new music that people
actually want to hear - they have decided it's more effective
to gouge the consumer for CDs - and treat all their
customers like criminals with all sorts of "copy protection"
schemes. Does this sound like a formula for success?
One last thing - being in this business I know that it
actually costs the music companies less than $1.00 to have
a CD manufactured. That price includes the disc, packaging,
and printed inserts. Think about that the next time you
pay $13.00 or $15.00 for your next CD!

What was the LP percentage of sales? Or dollars spent on LPs?

Analog is 'almost' perfect sound forever.
Digital is a cheap thrill and cheap thrills don't last.

WOULD MAKE TO MUCH SENSE + THEY WOULD HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THE BIG LIE BACK FIRED ON THEM.PERFECT SOUND FOREVER.
