Dear all,
Please forget my request for a copy of Briceño guitar book (1626). I was kindly
supplied a pdf copy by David Van Ooijen, whom I sincerely thank again here.
But, to keep going in the same direction, would anyone affiliated with JSTOR be
kind enough to download and forward to me
Thanks, Tom. This topic is just another example of the way things
change when we don't pay attention, and not always for the better. All
recording artists are suffering from the Free Culture syndrome, and
lutenists are like canaries in the coal mine.

In my perspicacious opinion the CDs are in fact dead, and in the future
there will be only mp3s and vynil LPs as deluxe collectors items.

CDs still have a place in the world for those of us who play concerts.
The digital revolution hasn't yet found a way to satisfy those
audience members who want to take a souvenir home with them, and
performers always need gas and food money. They also make fine
business cards. Now, profit
Hello again to all,
I now have my copy of the article on Briceño (Thank you Hector), so please
forget about my request !
Thanks all the same and best wishes, (until next time...;-)

Dear all,
We also find that CDs sell well at concerts, Karl, but we've begun to
offer download cards for souvenir-seeking audience members who are
digital-only. We've had some amusing exchanges with fellow luddites
who can't for the life of them figure out what the download cards are
good
You can still provide notes and artwork by adding a PDF of the program notes to
the download. This is actually quite effective since the cost of the PDF notes
is very low as opposed to the printed ones. I always appreciate this when I
find downloads that do it and am willing to pay more in that
Actually, my son, who is a working musician, and a hungry one at that, now
instead of the CDs sells at his concerts a link with the password to download
site provided to him by the company that normally prints his CDs. It is quite a
bit cheaper for him and for the listener, can be used on any
I usually sit on the sidelines and learn by listening, but as an owner of
several music labels, I am obligated to share with my fellow
readers/listeners that there is no viable market place for physical CDs.
Our CD inventory which was in excess of 1 million units 18 months ago is
now non-existent.

So what happened to them all?

I would just say that you should be aware that this article is rather
inaccurate. It was written in 1965. There is a response to it written by
Helene Charnasse in the same journal, vol 52, no. 2, p.204-207.
Also there is an article by Gerard Rebours

As long as I can go on line and find the CDs I want, I consider the medium
still alive (but it is ironic that CDs may ultimately pre-decease vinyl). I
prefer having my music stored on discs (or records) that I can browse, and
including notes that I can read away from a computer. Of course,
It's a shame that there are a lot of people, mostly over 60, who
haven't the faintest idea about downloads, ipods, docks and suchlike.
This business of getting a download on their computer (- many don't
possess a computer - ) is bemusing to them. I have a good friend (a

Me too, and I still like hard-copy back up, either CD or vinyl, on the shelves
as well. I've never met a hard drive--lower-case i or otherwise--as reliable
in the long term as hard copy on a shelf. I do recognize it is becoming more
difficult to find hard-copy material outside of the cyber
Please be aware that CD-R has an average lifespan of 10 years- even the best
quality with the best storage. CDs may last longer - so you may want to
consider longevity on those backups or personal recordings.

Yes, I know CDs have a shelf life of sorts, but isn't it largely related to
use? I have 20-year-old-plus CDs that still play fine. ...But I tend to only
play them to convert to mp3 and use the mp3s for routine use.

On cdr's it is the dye that degrades and the silver coating that oxidizes. I am
not sure use affects either a lot. Gold instead of silver helps to prolong the
life. And the time is an average. I have a lot that are getting old as well but
I have ripped them all with lossless compression so am
I'm really enjoying this discussion and the varying viewpoints.
I must say that, even at age 55, I still like to have physical media.
Interesting point, though, about the longevity of CDs and CDrs.
I had archived an out-of-print LP to CD for myself approximately
10 years ago, went to play

What does a download card look like and how does it work?
