Is CD dead | Is CD dead

Is CD dead, is Vinyl dead? Or is there still an ongoing market for these products. Technology and the future have provided us with many differences compared to the past. The last decade has (without a doubt) saw the biggest chances in music. CD’s are dead and I’m sure that over time, there will not be a format which will overcome this. Not a physical one that will do so anyway. CD’s are dead and the disposable option (mp3 and internet culture with music) will predominantly rule the music industry. So you’re asking me... “why do you say CD’s are dead? Do you think CD’s are dead because of the internet?”. Many of you have told me in the past that you don’t think the internet could change the industry that much. Well ill have to disagree with you on that one. The effects that the internet has had have been phenomenal.

These effects haven’t just changed the way we listen to our music, it has in turn changed the way music is distributed. CD’s are dead because of this. However unlike the transposition from Vinyl to CD, the transposition from CD to digital format (notably mp3) means more than one thing. Music is now easily disposable and all of us can get it, dispose of it, and get it back as we wish. This has generally devalued music. CD’s are dead because that we can get music when we want, it has the lost the exclusivity it once actually had. Without this many form of music will struggle to create a constant following.

The other reason that I believe CD’s are dead is because the music industry now is ran off people want choose to drive record sales, rather than the people who have to drive record sales. By this I truly mean that people now have the choice to pay for, or not to pay for music, this will create a decrease in sales like we have seen in the last few months. Who wants to pay for music when you can get it for free, this is what people ask me. I say that you know that CD’s are dead so do try to help the industry by paying for what rightly belongs to other people. Especially if you appreciate their work of art. Money gives art a value and makes people get the most out of what they have. CD’s are dead and there is no turning back, many opportunities will spurt from this, and many losses, But let try and make the opportunities out weight the losses that shall occur in the music industry.
