A lot of 78's (due to play time, etc) were part of albums (which is why we call records that now) sort of like photo albums, so liner notes, art, etc was often part of the bound album instead of the individual disc.more like a boxed set of today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MargeHowel Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Jaron Lanier had a take on it in that book a few years back "you are not a Gadget" - he suggested exploring intergrating memory media with art obects....so maybe you'd (or the small scale production house) would fire up the 3D printer or other fab-box and produce a run of little scuplutres or jewelry or whatever with a memory device on-board -- so the customer would be buying both the music and the object.

Competition for economic dominance takes many forms and raising the price of admission is one way the current dominant players have of maintaining that dominance.

Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 No. The compact disc is history. The pressing plants will close soon, one after another, for reason like not being profitable anymore, and CD moulding machines are not produced anymore.
