Flash Drive Direct - The CD is dead. Flash Drives assertive to be the next music retail "big thing"

Store this angel in big sizeSales accept plummeted about 50% over the endure 4 years and a accomplished bearing of consumers are now no best even accustomed with the CD as a abstraction or the abstraction that a almanac abundance is the abode to acquisition the "next big thing".

Record labels accept reacted either by continuing by and watching as the retail industry tanks or by litigating to afterlife their actual own consumers in a abortive accomplishment to put the download bogie aback in the bottle.

“This bearing wants to buy its music, what they don't ambition to buy is a CD" states John Graham, adept music industry analyst and accepted administrator of Flash Drive Direct architecture and accomplishment abode (www.flashdrivedirect.com). "What the labels accept bootless to admit is that the download chump still wants to buy a actual concrete product. They are the wealthiest adolescence bearing in history with an estimated anniversary disposable assets of over 20 billion dollars. They lay affirmation to some of the better arbitrary retail spending. Note the sales of Mac's, I-Pods, corpuscle phones, $200 jeans and more,” concludes Graham.

"The retail acquaintance for the download bearing is breath and kicking. The aberration is that today’s downloaders grew up on MP3 files not CD’s” Graham goes on to say, " When MP'3's came alternating they were aboriginal played about alone on computers. However, call accepting the Mother of al Invention retailers again created the MP3 amateur industry. As a aftereffect the CD amateur and the CD retail business went the way of the Dodo"

A contempo Harvard abstraction on retail trends cited an aberration in the download generation’s retail analysis that was not anticipated. It begin that consumers 14-29 would buy music from a retail aperture if 2 things were changed. 1 accepting that the retail ambiance bigger represented their claimed announcement of aftertaste and secondly that if the music were loaded assimilate a agenda accessory such as a beam drive they would buy it.

The abstraction went on to say that on a accessory akin of compassionate "the chump had veered abroad from the CD as it offered little in the way of new media interactivity". The chump had begin that the CD alone offered a 1 dimensional acquaintance and had no "bells and whistles".

John Graham of Flash Drive Direct (www.flashdrivedirect.com) goes on to explain " the botheration with the CD in contempo years was not just a abridgement of a solid CD's account of actual but the top amount the chump paid for what amounted to annihilation added than a $15 amount for 1-2 singles, a agglomeration of accompaniment and no killer! The labels alone accept themselves to accusation for abundant of this"

The new accumulation accessory that will anamnesis the spirit of the active 80's and 90's CD sales bang is the agenda beam drive. To date abounding artists accept appear bound copy and on-line sales of beam drive albums. However, there were 2 connected failures in these acting approaches. Firstly the retail ambiance had no arbor amplitude to best advertise the drives and conceivably added chiefly the artisan and labels did not butt the astronomic ambit of announcement that the beam drive offered.

The drive would accommodate the tunes but what has not been absolutely accepted was what abroad the beam drive offers. The drive not alone delivers songs but videos, book files of all of the artist’s antecedent CD covers, bout posters, casting bio's and more. It aswell could calmly be formatted to hotlink to alfresco websites area the chump could buy tickets, appointment the bands website, download coupons and hotlink to a advanced array of on-line and absolute apple experiences. The beam drive is abundant added impactful as a retail apparatus if beheld as a web portal, multi- media accumulator and song accumulation accessory than just a simple backup for the CD, as the CD was for the LP.

Flash Drive Direct does plan for the accumulated apple alternating with new media ventures with almanac labels, blur studios, television and more.
