Quoted from ""Daniel""


I much prefer to have a physical CD, and seeing the way the singles market has gone in the UK I wonder how much longer music will keep being released on a physical format.

The physical format is the best for me, I really would be very sad if it would dissapear and would be aviable only in digital format :? :(

But I'm afraid we won't stop this change....... :(

Only digital is stupid, cos what if your pc crashes??
Everything's lost, in worst case!

But, with cd's, you just need to rip the cd's again, and you'll have the collection up and away again.

Physical singles of Scooter are very poor sold in NL. So due to trend "go digital" I thinks that Scooter will not release physical CDs in NL anymore. Only import.

I think you're right with this one, it would be logical to do so.

illegal copying was already a problem with the good old cassettetapes. maybe it's easier now because you can download it and with internet you find a lot of people who have what you want. that's true. but digidance only released crap tracks so it's their own fault!

I think file sharing is one thing. But I also think music lost some quality. And it's getting worse. Just take a look at the charts. Some people just wanna make fast money with music or with what they call music. I don't mind if such music get's downloaded illegal. I even don't want such productions as a gift. For good music I pay money! It's a pity that not everyone thinks so. If it is so, I think the quality will be higher.

Same here, I pay for it if I like it.

After all, most artists make music not just because they like it, but also to earn money with it, and how can they when people download their music without paying?

It's still not the downloads that cause the problems. In most European countries, the price of data mediums are damn expensive.
E.g. in Hungary, you can hardly spend 30€ on a CD album when you earn 300€ a month...

The other thing is the vinyl-debate that's going on between DJs. In Germany, England and The Netherlands, fewer and fewer people buy them. Most of the DJs started to advance to CD-mixing, so there's not much money in pressing vinyls anymore :( And the DJs don't buy the whole CD single, they only need one track to burn to the disc they're mixing from.

Payable mp3s would be a good idea for selling tracks separately, but - as you said - I'd miss the disc itself. In England, it's working perfectly as I noticed, same goes to TID and Beatport, but in Hungary, it's going very poor... shame I can't sell my music in my own country :P

30 € for a cd? that's damn expensive. Single or Album? Well, anyway it's twice of the german price. I didn't know that. But it seems to be a problem of the country it self?! But it doesn't matter how expensive the cd is. Anyway, people don't pay for it. If it's 6 EUR or 30 EUR. It's the same problem i think: Downloading is much cheaper! that's the fact, isn't it? Or did I get something wrong from your post?
