Analog vinyl records will overtake CDs...almost

 
I've written about the trend of analog records several times in this note, and it seems that analog record sales are finally overtaking CD sales. In the UK.


It's hard to say whether 33 years is long or short, but I looked it up and found that Edison invented the record in 1877. I don't know how it spread to the general public after that, but from that point of view, the record was in the ascendancy for 110 years until 1987. CDs are still fleeting.

I'm sure that vinyl records will continue to thrive, cassette tapes will still be around, and delivery will continue to improve in sound quality.

By the way, Lou Ottens, the inventor of the cassette tape, passed away a while ago.


When Ottens (or rather, the Philips company where Ottens worked) opened up the patent for the cassette tape to the public, the cassette tape quickly spread around the world. Nowadays, open source is quite common, but it was a bold decision in 1965. I wonder if that was the norm. But if they hadn't released the patent for free, there is a possibility that something else would have become popular instead. If that had been the case, the world would have been a different place.
