RIAA Sales Numbers Up Over 10% in The First Half of 2004 – SACD and DVD-Audio Flounder
Friday October 29, 2004
While music downloading is still having an effect on the CD market, actual sales of CDs, as reported by the Recording Industry Association of America, increased about 10% in the first half of 2004. That is good news for the music industry; however, CD sales still were still lower than the peak year of 2001. Now, for the bad news. After several years on the market, SACD (Super Audio CD) and DVD-Audio still haven't impacted the market as hoped. Sales for each format leveled off at about 300,000. What is the future prognosis for CDs, SACDs, and DVD-Audio? For a perspective, check out the report from Audio/Video Revolution.
