the comeback of vinyls and dvds is rlly cool, the music and tv industry have been pushing for these digital models that essentially mean that consumers dont own anything real, (streaming services, subscriptions, nfts, etc.) we as consumers gotta keep rejecting that crap tbh

I study Contemporary Music at University and fun fact this doesn't account of the inflation I talked with my tutors at university. you need also to put in account licensing music royalties, videogame music and many other forms that might be added there as well

I like the tiny blip of Ringtones in the lower section of the 2000s 😂, ah yes, get your ring tone and a costly subscription through TV adverts via SMS, such a remarkable time. I will never forget the MTV ads during that time. Timeless

The recorded music industry has a long and fascinating history that spans over a century.
It all began with live performances, where people would gather to listen to music played by musicians in person. This was the primary way people experienced music for centuries.
In the late 1800s, the phonograph was invented, which allowed music to be recorded and played back for the first time. This marked the beginning of the recorded music industry, as people could now purchase recordings of their favorite songs and artists.
The phonograph used a wax cylinder to record sound, and the records were played back on a phonograph machine. These early recordings were quite primitive by today's standards and were primarily used for novelty purposes.
In the early 20th century, the vinyl record was introduced, and this became the primary format for recorded music for the next several decades. Vinyl records were much more durable and provided a higher quality listening experience than the phonograph cylinder.
Next one in the 1980s was the compact disc (CD), which marked another significant shift in the recorded music industry. CDs were even more durable and offered an even higher quality listening experience than vinyl records.
As the internet became more widely available in the late 1990s and early 2000s, digital music files became popular. These files could be downloaded from the internet and played on a computer or portable device.
Today, streaming has become the primary way people listen to music. With streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, people can access millions of songs with just a few taps on their phone or computer.
Overall, the recorded music industry has come a long way since its humble beginnings with the phonograph, and it continues to evolve as new technology is developed.
