CD era one step closer to retirement?

Shogun · 23rd July 2010, 16:23

The music industry continues to struggle as it looks for ways to close the technological gap that has seen CD sales continue to slide.

This is a natural industry switch to the newer, more flexible format as its predecessor continues to disappear. Vinyl made an appearance in the 1950s and remained solid until the early 1980s, when cassettes became the format of the era. Cassettes were eventually phased out by CDs, but lingered for years to come. New cars are less likely to include CD/cassette in favor of CD/MP3.
