I wonder how many CD's were sold during that period? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Actually I read that CD sales were up last year. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted January 7, 2004 Author Share Posted January 7, 2004 3d, where? I found this: http://www.mp3newswire.net/stories/2003/statistics.html Actually it seems the hit on Cd music is not as bad as we are led to believe but it is there. Of course music on DVD skyrocketted over the same period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyKubicki Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 If my experience with DVDa continues, I will be buying more. I don't mind paying more when getting more, and with what I have heard on Fragile and Brain Salad Surgery, I can't wait for more. Perhaps some are indeed holding out for the newer releases on the newer medium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, it appears as though SACD is winning. Check out this article - http://news.ft.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=FT.com/StoryFT/FullStory&c=StoryFT&cid=1073280831350&p=1012571727132 BTW, SACD sounds great to me. Almost vinyl, without the hassles. Although I do sometimes enjoy the "vinyl ritual". Regards, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtice Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 It seems that the MP3 iTunes market is mostly youngsters and college kidsseparate markets, although I'm sure it does canabalize retail to some degree. Did anyone watch Jobs' keynote? He said wanted to recognize the individual who downloaded the most music from the iTunes store but he wouldn't say his name because he didn't want to get him in trouble with his parents. Then he flashed the number up on the screen$29,500and said he couldn't imagine that Daddy wouldn't have noticed that on his credit card. Jobs even showed a little movie about my hometown!

Piranha Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Can someone please explain the differences between the three? SACD, DVDa, and CD? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ---------------- Assuming you know what CD is, DVD-A and SACD are newer, higher resolution formats for digitally recorded music. SACD (stands for Super Audio C D) discs can usually be played in a regular audio CD player, but need a SACD player to get the sonic benefits of the higher resolution. DVD-A (stands for DVD Audio) discs need to have a DVD-A compatible player to be played at all. People argue back and forth about which format sounds better, but just about everyone agrees they are both substancially superior to regular CD. Hope this helps, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
