OK, the latest....guess what? One of the largest CD-making plants...SONY in New Jersey, is closing their doors in March. What? They're shutting down. It's because of popularity of digital downloads. So, buy a  CD if you love music. 300 people will be out of a job, end of March.
SONY's been in business for over 50 years, this plant made over 18 million CDs per month when running at full speed. Yep.'Times they are a-a changing.' CDs are becoming 'old hat'....Rats. [Jan]
Vinyl record sales have been increasing since 2008, but, CD sales have been dropping. iTunes is now the number 1 music provider in the U.S. Wow. I didn't know that, did you?.
SONY will continue to make music CDs in their factory in Terra Haute, Indiana ...along with their DVD line.
Oh well.....Hurry Steve and finish that CD, will ya? Jan
