cassette is also somewhat practical and it has its own sound, the artist can stick a small pamplet inside etc etc. this practice sticks well with CD cases also and why not LPs too. LP practicality is like 2/10 at best we all know this. seems like LPs and even cassettes manage to keep up with all thats happening, people like to touch things.

but man, if CD ever comes back it will probably mean the beast of streaming has been defeated, what a day that will be.

 

You could say that everything analog is going digital. No material is needed except electricity. You can send an MP3 around the globe in seconds, or Elon Musk's satellite information. Sending or recording music or speech to someone is a huge miracle to me.

People should really take the time to understand what this technology actually is or how electricity works.
You can't see electricity, but it's the basis of everything from communication via cell phone to recording in your DAW.

Everything changes when the power goes out for an extended period...!
Maybe you can still power your cell phone with a portable solar panel. Let's hope that day never comes.

Funny guy

I would like them making the covers of LPs and selling them with an USB-stick containing the album. THAT I would buy. Or buy the cover without any content. But no crappy vinyl.

The world's largest record collection | Music Everywhere

Inspired by his mother, Freitas started collecting with a Roberto Carlos record in 1965 and has gone on to amass another six million more, including hundreds of copies of the same albums. Last November alone he purchased a million records.

 

In Latin and Caribbean music, artists have been selling their albums on USB sticks for some years now.

Unfortunately, digital content is easily duplicated and shared online, so even if an artist manages to sell some material, sales are always too low to make a living from music.

I'm proceeding with an alternative approach, but for a definitive solution (and we absolutely need one), different and definitive solutions will have to be found.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions that you think might be effective?
