By the year 2012, CD's will no longer be sold in stores.
Top bands used to sell 10-15 million cd's even as early as 2000, the last few years they were selling 3-5 mllion, last year 1-2 million, this year 1.5 million, 2010 under a million, 2011 under 500,000, 2012 they're not going to even waste time and resources to distribute them any longer. They'll make a few hundred thousand for the top acts and ship them to Walmart & Best Buy. Everyone else will go out of business.
Each year more people download and more people steal music. By 2012, all players will be digital. Your car stereo will be the only thing that plays cd's. And those cd's will be made by the consumer from digital downloads.
If you need your songs professionally mixed or mastered to the lever of radio quality for only $13.95, check out Big Label Sound Studio, http://CdmusicMastering.com.

bullshit.
I've sold more cds in the last 5 years than in the previous decade. I'm still talking very small quantities, but for us independent artists/small labels CD Baby is doing great work at that, Amazon.com is a great place to sell cds too through the Advantage program.
As for your spam link, wouldn't it be nice if was kept in the signature like I and others do?

I have to agree ^^ here, absolute nonsense, especially by such an early day, just no way. Remember a lot of artists also sell CD's at live shows. Not everyone present is always a fan, some bring friends and some are at a show to see another performer. If they turn out to really like the music the artist has more chance of getting a new fan by having a CD for sale. If not they have to hope that after going home and waking up the next day the person still has the drive to seek out the artist.
Also, human nature is to want something physical in hand. I recently downloaded three album from a band I love and after listening to the albums constantly for a week jumped on Amazon and ordered the CD's for two of the albums, will also buy the third soon. Digital downloads are great and instant on demand with no inventory. But also as a result people feel that have the right to steal MP3's since there IS NO physical inventory for them to feel guilty about - like stealing in a store. It really does suck for new artists today because it makes it all the more difficult to make a big name for oneself. CD's have always been a reliable way to determine real fanbase and likely turn out for live shows. Try telling a venue, "We had 2 million illegal MP3 downloads! Let us play your huge venue, people will come!". BS, doesn't work that way. If however you said, "We sold a million CD's, look at the Billboard charts", well that's different of course.
Anyhow, I do agree that some day physical product for music might become a thing of the past, seems the natural order of things. When every streaming service is offering full quality audio and you can even stream while underground in the subway, and when everyone's houses have media centers wired through with all media on one collective computer or whatever, then yeah, it probably will go the way of the dodo. But that will be a while.
