You’re partly right; looks like both vinyl and CD sales are down YOY: https://www.headphonesty.com/2024/10/vinyl-sales-fall-compared-last-year/

That article singles out cost of living as the likely culprit and I’m prone to believing that; although I think some of the labels are getting a tad too greedy with some vinyl releases also (I think Taylor Swift has been called out as particularly egregious?).

I’ve never been much of an audiophile, growing up with cassette tapes, minidiscs and 128kbps MP3s - they all seemed perfectly fine. Video on the other hand, I constantly notice between quality Blu-Ray, overly compressed rips and streaming.

Maybe not CDs, but vinyl is having quite a renaissance lately. Ditto for Blu-Rays, although nowhere near to the same extent.

/uj Technically this is their new logo:

J a G U a r is just their new typeface (I think that’s the name?); and apparently/allegedly is to make the pronunciation closer to UK English, rather than American.

Either way, though - it’s still…
