The music business has changed in a big way in the last ten years, which has directly impacted CD and DVD burning. It started with pirating websites that offered music for free to anyone with an account. These were all shut down pretty quickly, or forced to charge for the music and then pay royalties to the artists. Since then, digital downloads have revolutionized the industry. No longer are people buying albums only from huge music distributors. Now, they can get the music via download from the artist’s website. The middleman — the record company — has been cut out. However, this does not mean that recording itself is dead.
1. No One Makes CDs Anymore
This is not the case; CD and DVD burning is still alive and well. It is just not done by the huge music companies as much as by smaller, private studios. Computers have given people the ability to record professional-sounding records in their basements. They still need to do CD cover printing and CD inlay printing in order to sell their work. They just need to go to a separate print company that can offer these services outside of the large record companies.
2. People Do Not Buy CDs
While things are certainly trending this way, these are far from obsolete. The reason this myth exists is just because people do not buy them in as huge of quantities as they used to. Still, many fans want to buy a CD as soon as it comes out if they are at a show. They do not want to wait until they get home to download it off of the internet because then they could not listen to it on the way home. Some artists will even sell hard copies of their work at shows before it will come out in a digital format.
3. The Art Quality No Longer Matters
People believe that this is the case because they do not bother to look at the art as much when they download a few songs. The quality of the CD cover printing still needs to be as high as ever, though. If it looks professional, people will be more prone to spend their money on it. The record companies got one thing right when they made bands look professional, and a print company still needs to capture that in this new era of music.
