I don’t know that the “record industry” is solely responsible for the devaluing of CDs, although they had a large role. I think the combination of download technology and high prices (which are the industry’s fault) have worked together to fuel the old-school Napster music-should-be-free idea, which undermines sales of all music. I have seen $10 CD sales on quite brisk levels at live shows. I think those sales would be much less brisk if the CDs were $20, or even $15.

Personally, I buy more downloads than physical CDs these days. It’s easier and leads to less junk cluttering my office. Most of the CDs I have bought recently have been bought at performances from the artist.

It talks about, among other things, how the record industry has itself devalued the CD to the point of worthlessness.
