Why Doesn the Online Store Sell CDs Anymore?
In October 2009, the online store switched entirely to selling MP3 downloads for two main reasons 1) MP3s had been outselling CDs by such a wide margin over the last two years- thanks to lower cost, immediate digital delivery, and customers’ personal listening preferences – that it wasn’t worth maintaining an inventory of CDs anymore. 2) We’d been wanting to go green for a long time! Downloadable MP3s generate no waste from plastic or packaging materials, which, in the long run, benefits the earth that has created the wonderful sounds we’ve recorded.
