I think it’s an acronym for something to do with music. It probably stands for “compact download”.

48% of US teens did not purchase a single CD in 2007? That’s 52% we need to convert still

I actually think this is bad in a way. How are we supposed to get FLAC rips when CDs die?

I wonder how the whole economic situation in the US impacts the sale of CDs and if it has affected the numbers. If you suddenly don’t have money of course you’re not going to be buying as many CDs. I would imagine if the US falls into a massive recession music revenues for major companies are going to drop plain and simple.

I’m no teenager and I haven’t bought a c.d. since 2001. I have though been burning my MP3’s (and other formats) to blank C.D.’s. Now I believe that even that practice is shortly to be terminated.

No I’m not getting an I-Pod which I feel is just as big a ripoff as CD’s were ( a new model every month and you feel you need to “upgrade”; otherwise you’re not high tech enough.) The answer: flash drives. You can put just as many songs on them as your I-Pod and they’re way cheaper (and will get even cheaper as time goes on).

More and more car radios are coming out with USB ports in them; computers are getting smaller and smaller. Let I-Pods go out with the C.D.’s. (Sorry to change the topic a bit but they both have to do with getting ripped off and teens–as we all know–don’t have large amounts of cash lying around. And newsflash: neither do we Baby Boomers!)

CDs take up too much space. Superior quality; however just try to buy your 10GB of mp3s you have on your harddrive in CD format an see how much room you need to budget for it.

Teens like trends. One of the newer trends is owning an iPod. You cant put a CD into an iPod so buying CDs is going to be declining. And how many teens do you know that are allowed to get unlimited usage on their parents computer for doing their own needs.

The RIAA should just roll over and die already.
