Link to March 17 Media Memo post, "Not News: CD Buyers Disappearing Daily. Might Be News: Music Buyers Disappearing, Too".
Excerpt: Common sense tells you that the CD is a vanishing artifact. So would a trip to the music section of your local Best Buy, Target or Wal-Mart – or an actual music store, if you could find one.
But just in case you weren’t convinced, here’s some new data from NPD Group:
CD sales dropped by 19 percent last year.
The number of U.S. CD buyers dropped by 17 million last year.
The number of music buyers dropped by 13 million last year. (RG's emphasis.)
