Everyone knows that record sales are going up and CD sales going down. I can’t find any data on how many records are actually sold, when will Record sales overcome CD’s?People have said that one day in the far future digital will one day sound better than analogue, but knowing that CD’s only sound marginally better than MP3’s while taking up 10 times the space. Any real “high quality†sound from digital would be unwieldy due to the amount of space it would take up, and could never replicate the warmth of vinyl even if they could come in close to the definition and the expense of a ridiculously large file. Another problem with digital would be the access time; it would need to access a file in excess of a gigabyte in less than 4 minutes.
For the foreseeable future I think analogue will remain king.
