No - the operative word is digital.

No, the operative word is "music". The idea that there is some
qualitative
difference between analogue music and digital music is absurd.


That's always going to difficult to understand if you've never owned or
used a record player, I agree.

I've owned record players since 1971, and still use one occasionally. So my
comment is firmly based on experience.

CD sales are falling now, just as LP sales plummeted after the CD was
launched, so?


LP sales are still going strong.

I know LP sales are still going. Even increased a bit in recent years due to
the fetish market.

Today, you'll see similar numbers for
CD and vinyl listings on ebay UK - about one million each. There is
*something* about vinyl that has endured. I've mentioned in another thread
the reasons CD won't endure.

You mean the reasons *you imagine* that CD won't endure. There's
*something* about steam trains too.


I doubt it, at least on the same scale. You're going to have to shift your
thinking at some point :-)

Or, then again, maybe you are going to have to shift *your* thinking at some
point. :-)
