Re: [microsound] mp3s are killing the cd market..

[david <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i don't think so.
cdr and mp3s are only the technological updates of the old cassette. back in the eighties we duplicated vinyls on tapes but that did not kill in any way the vinyl sales.

the problem is that very few labels are trying to understand the evolution of the music market. 
simply selling a cd in a poor jewel-case without any added aesthetic/conceptual content is not enough anymore. the packaging is much more important these days and i think that an extra effort from the labels to do a better design of their releases is needed. 
this makes a product stand-out from the flood of releases and gives that surplus value that a "normal" cd cannot have.  

do you think that a burned-to-cdr copy of the phonometrography releases could have any sense?
