Declining sales of cd's has very little if nothing to do with mp3. It has to due with the fact that so many stores, especially those in malls, have jacked up the prices astronomically. It's incredibly common to see those stores asking $18 for a CD! The exact same CD that could be purchased at discount or independant store for $10-13!
The RIAA has it out for mp3, and will say or do anything to make it look bad. This is just the latest example of their own FUD tactics.
The music industry must change, or be crushed by the technology it is trying so hard to hold back from consumers.
