Well, well, It seems that the decline in CD sales is starting to effect retailers as well. In fact, Border's Books is reducing their floorspace for Music because of lower demand. It's not just Border's though. I was in Best Buy the other day and their CD section was about half of what it used to be.
Anyone remember when Best Buy had an Import section?
While retailers like Target have never really been a music emporium, their CD selection is still getting smaller at the same time they're offering more in the way of Drop Cards.
Even the used CD outlet chain of CD Warehouse stores here in the Kansas City area have gone out of business.
Have you noticed that the cost of duplication is dropping too? How hard is it getting to get people to drop the cash for a CD at one of your shows? How long till we, as Indies, are dealing in an all Digital world, and would that really be a bad thing?
Check out the links below, it's pretty interesting.
