[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 476942, member: 250"] Car CD players... or lack of them is the other significant contributing factor IMHO... Roll back 4 or 5 years + and I would frequently buy a "best of" CD.. or a duplicate CD copy of an old album I still have on vinyl... as it was the easiest least time consuming method to listen in the car.. But now our current car doesn't have a CD player.... Just a DAB radio and two USB ports that can play either my phone music or just some albums I have copied onto a flash drive... Now if I have a CD, I need to rip it onto a PC, to then copy it to phone or USB stick to play in car... So its quicker to just digitally download in the first place!! However.... I do remember many happy hours in my younger years browsing racks and racks of albums in various record stores.. AND just stumbling across a record I may not have intended to buy, but was lured in by some great sleeve graphics.....! HMV still had a good selection of all music styles for a nice browsing session.... Which is always better browsing with physical items... Rather than trying to browse digitally.... On-Line digital searches are great for locating a specific item.... But rubbish for browsing when you are not 100% sure what you are looking for.. Plus HMV's rates and overheads make most of their stock too expensive compared to the Amazons of this world. Guinness [/QUOTE]
