Of interest?
I for one never thought we'd surpass the CD then Napster came and went
and the world turned ugly.
Sales of vinyl records have outstripped digital music sales for the first time in the UK, with audiophiles spending 2.4 million pounds ($4 million) on vinyl records last week, versus the 2.1 million pounds spent on digital downloads, according to Official Charts data.

the fact that people consume music like crazy but only spent £2.1m on digital downloads speaks to the ease with which people get music for free

People are buying vinyl as collector's items. It's something tangible that you can display and show people versus just a digital download which you can just as easily get for free, probably easier without having to sign up for email lists and signing a dodgy DRM agreement, etc.

What obs said. Also, people don't spend money on downloading music anymore because streaming services such as Spotify and Soundcloud and whatnot.
