now that mp3's have become far more efficient than other formats: vinyl, cd, .. do tapes even exist anymore?? in terms of size, cost, quality.. and record labels have used them as promotion.. (and after the failure of MD's and mp4's etc) I'm guessing there will one day (soon) be mp3 players outside of the computer (not just portable versions, but like ones the size of home entertainment-sized CD or DVD players) and record labels will release small, disposable discs from which mp3 (or whatever files will be used then) will be ripped and stored onto your mp3 player's library. each release will come with a booklet, cover art etc .. there would be no risk of losing, breaking, misplacing or scratching your purchase.. there will be even less need (if there even is any now) for the minidisc.. and considering the popularity of mp3's and the fact that they're putting the record industry in the worst shape it's ever been in, it might be a good idea for the record industry to look towards the current bane of it's existence to one day be that which propells it into more success than it has ever seen.. they could turn crazy profits by making this their main format.. esp because they could cut back on packaging and manufacturing costs.. that is, both the consumers and the producers.. anyway.. I dont kno.. what do u think |

there will always be some form of textile music format.... people want to hold the artwork and read the pages... it's a great feeling, bringing home a record you haven't heard yet and opening it up in your room and putting it on for the first time and being BLOWN AWAY by the music and wanting to take in every little thing... i dunno, i THINK alot of people still want that. i hope. |

Indeed ... that's why the record industry hasn't undergone a collapse of black hole proportions by now. |

and mp3 will be replaced by a lossless format if discspace is cheap enough |

one thing that really puts an album together for me is the artwork.... with mp3 piracy, you dont get the whole package. |

With the Stanton Final Scratch and similair the reasons for vinyl are quickly disappearing. I can't really see CDs/equivalents disappearing for ages yet... |

The next big format (the record execs pray) will probably be the the massively copy-protected Super Audio CD. No one is ignoring the profits being made from copy-protected DVDs. But look at the amount of value in some of these DVD packages - for instance the Fellowship of the Ring special edition DVD. That's real value for a collector and something that the record industry just can't grasp very well at the moment. |

I don't care too much for packaging and the physical aspect of music anymore... I used to... I've spent thousands on CDs and now I never use them or look at them, they're coated in dust... I've ripped all the ones I want onto the computer. But I see the appeal and there will always be a place for it... but I've just lost interest in that. Plus I sat on my RDJ CD a while back and busted it... can't bust an MP3. |

what they need to perfect is virtual reality. Then when you purchase music online you could throw on a headset and enjoy a 3d world of art. Maybe in the year 3000. |

Someday they'll be amazed that we wasted our time looking at monitors screens. And listening to speakers and headphones. |

The the same way some of my friends are amazed that I still read books. "reading, what is that anyway?" |

You might not be able to 'bust' an mp3, but you sure can bust a hard-drive full of them. Incidentally, if you have loads of CDs gathering dust, why not just sell them to a second-hand music store or something and buy some new stuff with the proceeds? |

'the failure of minidisc'?? what??,who the fuck cares?? |

Actually I think the next level for music is going to be on DVD's for now. There are already some Audio DVD's for sale with music in 5.1 channels. Sounds damn nice to. |
