But think of all those people who foolishly sold all their vinyl (thanks folks, I'm enjoying them a bunch at a buck a pop) to replace it with expensive CDs! OUCH!
Another funny thing, the industry did not develop CDs out of a humanitarian desire to benefit the human race and bring music to our thirsty ears, they did it to vastly increase their profits (production costs a fraction of vinyl, price at least doubled at the time, or more). In doing so, they made it possible to download and send the data via the internet, which killed CD sales and sank the record companies' profits. CD: down. SACD: down. DVD-Audio: down. Hoist by their own petard, what oh what will they do next? Poetic justice! No wonder everyone is getting fed up and vinyl is undergoing something of a renaissance. The King is dead, long live the King!
