Everyone knows by now that the music industry and CD sales are in a critical situation. I love and support downloading music and feel that with the enormous amount of music out there it can help create a demand for good music and not just what record companies thrust upon us, but that’s not what I wanted to share today. I also love listening and checking out the art and lyrics on records and CD’s, but this is getting harder to enjoy due to downloading. I recently bought the new Mars Volta album that came with a bonus vinyl/disc that can be played as a CD or a record. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2007/oct/15/musicnews.music This is no doubt just a gimmick that was developed to perk the interest in CD sales, but it’s still an interesting idea. Maybe this idea will take off considering that vinyl sales are at an all time high. It could have the album on one side and a single for a DJ on the other, but the only draw back is considering the vinyl side can only hold about three minutes worth of music.
