the record industry is clueless. cnn reports that cd's will die out the way vinyl has. can't these industry folks see that charging upwards of $15+ for a music compact disc is an absolute raping. when internet file-sharing began, people were a lot more unwilling to fork over that obscene an amount (and in turn, put the spotlight on the disgusting practices of the record industry). you guys can make it up. really you can. how is this for a suggestion... start selling cd's at $5-$7 max for new cd. and cheaper for older cds. NO ONE wants to go into a store to find an old cd with two or three tracks that they are looking for and plop down $18 for it! now if it was $4, you have yourself a sale, folks. and quite possibly.. you have yourself an industry again.
