Down with downloading! Bring back vinyl!

There were various claims made when CDs were launched about the price of recorded music coming down but in reality it went up. The original excuse was that a large proportion of the cost was the artists' royalties but in reality it was not. Maybe sometimes you are getting a few more tracks than you used to on a vinyl album but that varies.

I'm not sure how accurate this page is and I suspect that artists' fees are very variable but it has a couple of pie charts with a breakdown of roughly where the price of your CD goes.

I don't really do any music downloading although I have used the VM Music OD service but I guess that Spotify will be a very welcome service to many.
