Cool stuff:thmbsp:

That was amazing to watch. I'll probably watch it a few more times today. The "Goliath" CD almost swallowed everything up for a while.

 

[Cactus Bob]

Far Out!

Yep, we've gone downhill alright.

Thanks for sharing/posting that graphic or whatever it's properly termed. (dynamic pie chart?)

My old Grandma used to make dynamic pie.

It will be interesting to see what 60 years in 60 seconds will look like. Hope I'm still around

It's like PacMan eating the "ghosts" we're try to bring back from the dead. LOL

I never realized how many cassettes were sold. Never bought them, the sound quality was so inferior to LPs and CDs to me.

I never realized how many cassettes were sold.

Yeah, me too,
more than 50% for some time.....

This timeline corresponds pretty closely to my time on earth. I am definitely a member of the cassette generation.

Now we are getting back to singles again, only this time there is less impetus for labels to sell a filler-laden widget. I still like the album as a form though. I hope artists will not have a harder time making that kind of statement in the coming years.

Actually, after a while cassettes got pretty good. Toward the end they were on metal, had HX and between that and Dolby B they really did not sound all that bad punching up +5 dB on your meters.

That's what it took. And when they got that good, it was obsolete.

Quite neat. Interesting to watch formats take over and then fade out again.

PacMan :lmao:

 

[hopeless]

Wow, incredible. Dominance to implosion in very short order for vinyl, cassette, and CD.

 

[Cactus Bob]

Ringtones and Ringbacks 1%?? WTF! :bash:

 

[toxcrusadr]

That means there are a lot of used CDs out there for us to find. :thmbsp:
