CD sales falling, but LP sales are still only 1% of the volume of CDs, and CDs are still 60% of the total. What concerns me more than what's happening with physical media, is the absence of mainstream lossless downloads - why can't even iTunes make their downloads lossless? - and the reliance on streaming rather than local storage. Having all this music available online is of no good when there isn't an internet connection available, and even when there is, my experience with Spotify is that it isn't anywhere near reliable enough when compared with playing a CD or streaming one's own rips. When the kids get home from school, Spotify stops working round here.
Still, with so many CDs available at around Fiver, I too am buying more CDs than ever before.
