Interesting graph showing sales figures for music over the years, and how much of them were sold on different mediums (LP, cassette, CD, digital).

Can't say this is a short term tragic turn of events with this industry. Nor unexpected.

Never got into 8 tracks. Earlier in my life it was all about LPs and some cassettes. Then it became CD's (prices never did drop like they claimed they would). Nowadays its all about the stream baby. Refuse to pay for the same tunes over and over again on different mediums.

Napster was out long enough to cause the damage. I was using it to download tunes I already had on vinyl. It was too much work to extract the vinyl recordings, then perform edits using filters etc.
