Adele cold on music streaming, bemoans the decline of CDs

article published on 1 December, 2015

Music streaming services are probably the future, but Adele clings to the past when it comes to the consumption of music. The superstar's new album, 25, is only available to stream via Pandora as she continues to snub several major platforms that consumers turn to for their music needs. She's not the first major music artist to be cold on music streaming and she won't be the last, but ... [ read the full article ]

A CD is a terrible medium. Anyone who still buys CD's is ripping and storing digitally as well. CD's require manufacturing and shipping and all sorts of overhead involved in that piece of plastic that is ripped and forgotten.
She might have a good argument when it comes to streaming, but streaming is just defense against pirating. Streaming is the new "radio". That's what she needs to figure out.

She's so stupid. It's like these artists have no grasp of technology and because they don't really understand it, they shy away from it. All she is doing is missing out on money. It's the same thing JK Rowling did for years by refusing to have her harry potter books legally distributed as ebooks. People made their own copies because they were simply unavailable in the medium they preferred. I don't doubt she lost out on millions. Thing is, she already had so much money by then she didn't give a crap.

Nowadays there really isn't any advantage to buying cds and ripping them. Unless you are an audiophile or something. Now, they offer digital music at very high bit-rates. Gone are the days 128kbps. Well, Amazon does anyway.
I am sure she was offered huge $ from Pandora for exclusive streaming rights. And what about YouTube? Many people go to YT to "Listen" to their fav music they don't own. Come on Adele, let's get real. Not allowing your music to be accessible as much as possible to your fans is not putting your fans first. You are putting yourself first.

English is not my native language.
Do you like the Beatles? If you want to listen them in stream, you must subscribe to compulsorily at Apple, and so on.

There is another problem. With the end of owned CDs, DVDs, BluRay, etc., in a not too distant future, a large portion of music and movies that are not part of the list of stream services, are doomed to digital limbo in which the Internet is turning. We are heading toward a monoculture, simple puppets.
