Not having an attack here John, just a conversation, but I don't 'get' why you want CDs. To me it would be equally odd to download tracks and then record them onto a cassette.

I still think that the cost of downloaded albums is too high compared to the CD – in some cases the CD is cheaper ! Five pounds is the most i would pay for an album download.

Bloomin 'eck la', you still muckin around with them old fashioned CDs? Wassamatter with mp3s?

Hi Anorakkers – here's an interesting article that was in todays paper. --- start --- Small internet radio stations face being wiped out by a change in the way royalties are calculated.

Hello everyone. The CD of Loving Awareness Band is now available again! Read the (unfortunately) Dutch text about this on http:/​/​www.radiovisie.eu/​nl/​nieuws.rvsp?

Sony, Universal and EMI could be planning to do away with the CD by the end of 2012 in favour of digital downloads.

Is it possible to transmit a CD with no loss of quality? Does a 320 kb/​s MP3 transmission provide CD quality as near as anyone can tell?

Isn't it cheaper to just download the tracks (legally) and then burn your own CD of the tracks, if you must put them onto a CD.

Sat Nav manufacturer TomTom is to start selling in-car radio radio systems, but the new double height unit is missing DAB and a CD player.

Printing out photographs, using public telephones and recording television shows on VHS are other activities which are dying out because of digital advancements.

that's a funny thing DVD sales are doing OK on all platforms. However, what were the CD sales figure 5 years ago compared to today?

Christopher England <(Address removed)> said: Yes, first of all the media are generally owned by the buyer.

No agreed it will take a while for all the shops and users to go. That doesn't detract from the fact that CD stores in the UK are not on the increase.

Possible, but not practical.

Edited bits from there release. The iDA-X001 has one built-in audio source, an AM/​FM tuner, and no CD/​DVD slot. Instead, it has a dedicated USB input to directly connect an iPod.

Like Christopher , i no longer have a CD player set up at home - There's one in the car , but that tends to be used to play discs with MP3 files on them mainly.

any self respecting music person should be able to tell you But now you've changed the subject from "singles" to "tracks". That's cheating !

I dunno if it'd because I never bother to look, or if it's because they don't exist, but I can't remember the last time I saw a single that wasn't in a private collection.

The commercial radio chart show hit40uk is to no longer reflect CD sales in its weekly countdown. This historic move comes after figures show 96 per cent of sales in the charts are downloads only.

Tell your presenters not to say anything but to play all the songs in bunches of three or four at a time back to back (segued).

Steve Jobs has compared the hi-def Blu-ray format to the hi-res audio platforms DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD, and said Apple Macs won't come with Blu-ray drives anytime soon.

You can record into Audacity/​your favourite editor from the soundcard's record device.

Dunno about that. The CD is a bit of a big bulky thing physically really, and the non-re-writeable ones are already pointless in computer terms compared to a little cheap compact usb stick thingie.

I must admit I did used to love rushing home after buying a vinyl record and taking it out the sleeve and playing it, it had a certain smell, I never really had that thrill with cd's.

I have read several times now that the future route for music artists to make money is going to be from live performances. I tend to agree.

 Not sure I'd entirely agree with you. In the last 3 or 4 years I've probably spent around £3000 on CDs alone plus a smaller amount for vinyl where a CD hasn't been available.

These are very complex laws. I've never completely understood them.

From: "Jay BS" <(Address removed)> Yes I can see that. I was like that with vinyl. I loved the smell of the cover, weird I know, also loved album artwork, not so much with cd though.

Quoting a previous Andy contribution:- I think the issue is a lot deeper than just DAB.

Is there still a lot of hospital radio around? If so, why? Back in the day when people occupied a bed for a long period whilst recovering from whatever, it had a purpose.

I seem to recall having it explained to me that you own only the physical matter upon which the recording is stored, but you have limited rights over the recording itself, such that the bizarre...
