I finally ripped nearly my whole CD collection onto my computer throughout the last week or so, and I am so thrilled to have my own music server I can use anywhere in the house. We hardly ever buy music anymore between streaming services online and our own collection.
Although with the Apple cloud hack, I’m sure some hacker geeks are now enjoying my 70s/80s/90s collection. LOL.
The music business was experiencing a downturn when the CD format convinced grown adults (of the babyboom generation) to repurchased their library (for albums/artists that had already paid off their production and advertising expenses). That fad petered out as the 90s wore on.
NEW music has been suffering a very long time and while the industry still notes that radio exposure is the best way to penetrate the market, radio playlists are dull and locked into boring market tested sessions from the advice of women 15-30.
after all, they don't want to get eaten... right??? 8^)
