mp3's, mp4's, pirated cd's/dvd's, streaming media, wma, youtube --- bibili ka pa ba ng original album/cd ng yung favorite artist?
ako personally, hindi. i do-download ko na lang.
i read somewhere that even multimedia giant SONY-BMG (international) has considered the cd as being obsolete. Hindi na nga tumatanggap ng demo submissions in physical cd format, online na ang demo submissions and they are relying on ratings by site visitors to determine the next star, kind of reality show mechanics. Serious business starts when a sponsor wants to use the song for product endorsement or when somebody wanted an artist to play live
well, it's still sad seeing my favorite artists plugging their albums when they themselves knew that people nowadays no longer buy the museum-bound piece of technology that is the conventional audio cd.
I am inclined to think that cd sales will ride the waves again if the price will be as dirt cheap as the pirated cd (50 pesos?).
ikaw bibili ka ba?
