True, but think of how much more they might sell if you could actually buy LPs in stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, Borders, etc---instead of seeking them out in specialty stores or online.I think that number would be higher --- not a lot higher, but higher.

Still with all the marketing over the past 20 years its likely that cd would still out sell vinyl.Now, hmmmm.....lets see. Vinyl industry hires some sharp Wall Street ad execs, developes aggressive ad campaign targeting cd and ipods and..... Next thing you know some suave dude is place two ipod ear piece up against a microphone and then places microphone between (insert your favorite watt sucky speakers) and then says....If you want to hear all the sound doesn't your home deserve (insert your favorite component system).
Now that would impact sales. But still we are only 1 to 2% of the consumption market.

Many people are surprised to hear that you can still get new releases on vinyl, or even buy a new turntable. I don't think people have a real bias against vinyl --- they just assume it's gone because they don't see it anymore, and they certainly aren't looking for it...
