To put things in perspective, for 2011 CD's are listed at 240.8 million.Political Correctness'.........defined

That's the truth. It seems as is all new albums are just re-releases of 40 year old tunes. Boring.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

Here's a little bit more information...Nielsen SoundScan has tallied the sales numbers for the year so far, and while the overall picture isn’t terribly encouraging, there are signs that gains in the digital sector may make up for the softening CD market.
Sales are down 4.4 percent on the year, but as Billboard points out, that drop is due to the way CD sales have continued to crater in 2012 — 129.7 million units were sold during the first nine months of the year, down from 151.6 million units over the same period last year. Adele‘s ’21′ makes up the largest chunk of those numbers, with four million units sold.
While CD sales continue to fade, digital is up more than 15 percent on the year; unfortunately, that bump isn’t enough to make up for the CD’s loss — and it’s the same story for vinyl sales, which are up more than 16 percent, but still make up less than two percent of total sales.
At least one thing has stayed the same: Catalog sales are still driving the market. In fact, they’re actually up on the year by nearly four percent, while new releases have suffered another steep drop — 11.5 percent compared to the first nine months of 2011.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music.

True. Your post makes no sense.
On the contrary. Many current and new bands are embracing the vinly resurgence. I find it hard to believe that nothing that you listen to is released on vinyl. I'm a boomer--saw Hendrix at the Fillmore. I've bought 24 albums so far this year with one being a re-issue. I'll grant you that a good portion of vinyl sales are probably from re-issues but saying "all" is a bit naiveDynaudIo Evoke 30, VPI Prime, Soundsmith Zephyr MKIII, PS audio Stellar phono pre, McCormack DNA 0.5 Gold, ARC LS-17se, Eversolo dmp A8, MIT AVT MA ic’s and speaker cables, ps audio stellar power plant 3
