what you are seeing is the result of the digital format taking over the audio worldmusic is not as enjoyable to listen to, in the digital realm- people buy less music, and listen to it less, and eventually, their money ends up being spent on other things for recreation
if the record co's started making real music again, and the stereo companies started making units like the masterpieces of the 1960-70's, it would inject some life into the market again
CD, MP3, DVD, is just plain boring. SACD is interesting, but without an affordable $150 recorder and blanks, and very few factory music releases, it is also dying
in the meantime, more vinyl is being sold- today- than SACD and DVD-A disks
what's that say ?
