That is an interesting observation. I'm certainly enjoying the cheap prices ATM. I live in a music mecca where record stores never
completely went away, so have always been able to feed my obsession. Lately though it is an odd experience to go to my favorite
shop and be the only one looking at CDs, with dozens of kids flipping the vinyl. On the plus side, CDs are incredibly cheap nowadays,
with most common titles selling for $3-5 and hard to find stuff rarely more than $10-15. It is a time to acquire music on CD. I used
to purge my collection regularly but haven't done so for a few years for the same reasons as above; I simply can't get much for
my CDs. I do expect CDs will someday have a resurgence, (everything is cyclical), and >then< it will be time to offload the rare
stuff I don't listen to anymore.
To keep it topical: anyone want to predict if and when the Sony Mavica will have a resurgence?
