Looking at the RIAA 2004 yearend stats table, the following seems to be true:
-All formats have experienced decline in the last 5-6 years except for music videos. (CDs sales did tick up a couple of % last year).-Decline has been greater in the last couple of years for SACD & DVD-A formats than for LPs.
-LP sales $ did exceed SACD & DVD/A sales $ last year.
-Rate of decline for units shipped seems to have slowed in the last couple of years for LPs.
-Percentage of change in units shipped from 2003-2004:
LP <11.9%>
DVD/A <20.6%>
SACD <39.6%> !!!RIAA suggests that illegal downloads, alternative access (internet radio, etc.), and mp3s generally account for format declines (as well as the crap that is offered by the music industry today, my personal theory).
I remain optimistic about the vinyl, but I'd be a bit anxious if I were loading up on the current hi-rez digital audio formats.
Regards,
Jim
