Perhaps this is another small win for the buying public.
I never stopped buying CDs, or LPs for that matter, but "they" decided we were all going to have to stream and or download our music so shut down producing CDs as "they" did with vinyl. Hence sales dropped. If they are not there to be bought, you can't buy them. Then "they" can justify "their" decision to stop making CDs, because the falling sales figure support "their" argument.
More power to the buying public say I and "they" need to stop making decisions based on what "they" want rather than what "we" want!
