Don't laugh folks, this is a serious trend. I recently visited Barns and Noble and was pleasantly surprised to find band new vinyl LPs on display in the music section. Of course, audio compact disks still out number phonograph records, but the counter-revolution in retail music seems to be taking hold.
The future of CDs looks grim for many reasons. Old fashioned phonograph records are making a come back, in a big way.
