Another thing regarding cd sales. I have bought more CD's in the past year due to idol than in the past 8.
The teens are downloading music and not buying much cd's lately especially what with the ipods. They want their music on the go and the ipod travels a lot easier and more compact than a cd player.
I have also purchased more CD's in the last few weeks too. I still have more to get too.
I know that downloading is the current trend but the quality is not the same. I like to purchase a hard copy and also download the mp3 simply because I know that electronic media does crash.
