Vinyl going out of style ???

I was just wondering if someone can shed some light on this subject of vinyl going out of style. I have noticed how cd's are taking over. I can fully see the better potential of CD's as opposed to vinyl but what I don't understand is how is the Dance Music Industry preparing for this change? I know that after the CD decks were made with CD-R compatiablity that all music indutries have taken a big loss due to illegal downloading and I don't see how much longer vinyl can last when all the major Dj's hardly even use them themselves. I was wondering in anyone has more indepth information on this and if you do please hit me a reply.
I would think a big part of Armin's, Tiesto's, and PVD's money comes from vinyl sells, especially with all the lables and sub-labels they own. But if they are not using vinyl any longer how can they expect all of us to keep buying them |

1. this topic has been done before.
2. check the dj forum, there is a sticky on CD vs Vinyl thats very long and informative. |
I was almost positive it had been done before but I didn't see anything in the forums. I must have missed it, but I am not really looking at vinyl vs CD's. I am more seeking information on the industry and maybe a thought or two on how much time vinyl might have left |

Dude, its gonna go out eventually. Who would have known only 5-10 years ago, dj's would be traveling around with a hard drive the size of a cd case & holding 10,000 plus tracks. Also who would have guessed 15-25 years ago a DJ would get paid $10,000 to $35,000 to spin records for 3 hours. EDM is about technology & its gonne progess every second.
BTW i think you will ghet alot more in the music forum.;) |

Yea, I completely understand what you said there. Things seem to be moving faster into "Progression" excuse the pun. I really am asking because I own a small record shop and I finally found something I like doing and I can see it starting to slip away. |

| i get it just fine. 95% of the world's music consumers progressed to CD over 10 years ago, and DJ's are progressing to CD now. am i right or am i right? |

| your wrong, most dj's i know in my area are all vinyl and love it, i think its past cd's now anyways and its now a case of more ppl just so called mixing on software, which takes no real skill at all, and i know what id rather go and see in a nightclub, a dj with 2 steel platters and 2 lumps on 12" plastic as suppose to someone just pushing a few buttons on a laptop |

| i don't see it going out within the next ten years or so. it's too ingrained in dj culture. |
