According to a survey conducted by The Music Ally Speakerbox, the Compact Disc or CDs are still the most popular source of music, even in the era of digital downloads and iTunes.
Conducted on 1000 people, the survey revealed that around 73% of people still prefer CD to the Digital Download from a service like iTunes. The survey includes all people from all age group. The more surprising results comes from the youngsters. Around 66% of respondents in the age group of 14 to 18 said that they prefer purchasing a CD than online music purchase. The audio cassettes may be out, but the CDs cannot be put in the same box yet.
"While we fully expect that digital will eventually replace most physical consumption, this is not a clear cut replacement cycle like the change from vinyl to CD. It's particularly encouraging that those who are listening to streamed music on their computers are actually buying more music on both CDs and downloads than the average music fan. This suggests that digital can and is being used as a way of sampling new music which users may then go on to purchase," added Music Ally chief executive Paul Brindley.
