Had a nice evening tonight, a couple of beers with Söderqvist in a pub here in Oslo. We talked about lots of stuff and even got the chance to nerd a bit about film music. I was surprised to discover, among other things, that his favourite film composer is....MICHEL LEGRAND! I didn't see that one coming.
Such a cool and humble guy, despite his accomplishments.

A CD is essentially a collection of sound files on a physical object. The only difference is that it comes with album art / liner notes, and that someone else put the music onto the CD for you. I understand preferring a physical object but I don't understand refusing to listen to music just because its NOT available on a physical object.I love you all. Never change.

Well, of course I could copy the music to CD-R, but that's not the same. If you print out an e-book, you will have the text on paper. But that's not the same as the actual book. I appreciate the work that has been put into manfacturing the book / CD / DVD.
The is basically a matter of age. In my adolecent years I cherrished my vinyl collection. I guess it's that memory that makes the phsical product so important to me.

I appreciate the trend because to me it is about the conservation of natural resources. You can store dozens of audio albums in extremely high quality on a single Blu-Ray disc, or thousands on a hard drive. That seems better from a conservation standpoint than filling up one's house with physical albums. By the time I got to almost a thousand physical albums in my collection, I started feeling overburdened and like I'd rather just collect everything digitally and have my life feel more portable. It makes me happy to know that all the physical possessions that truly matter to me (music as well as whatever multimedia is of personal meaning to me) can fit on a couple of hard drives that fit in a small backpack. Life is an extremely temporal thing to me and I feel better without a ton of easily-destroyed physical objects that I'm attached to. That way I have less to lose and thus less to worry about. However, I'm sure many people would disagree and in fact find that disturbing.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

More to your point: I just don't want to support the trend. Call it stubborn. I call it gloriously conservative.
I continue to find this attitude completely ludicrous.
It's like saying "well, I have bread, and I have cheese, and I have ham, and I have mayonnaise, but I'll never just make a sandwich myself. I always buy them pre-made. I appreciate the work that has been put into manfacturing the sandwich by a professional sandwich maker".
More to the point, this attitude is potentially harmful to the industry as a whole. We're a niche market of a niche market which never had made a lot of money in the first place, and with the global economy the way it is, for non-specialist record labels (I mean people other than Varese or La-La Land) to invest money into score CDs is a gamble at best, and a money-losing distraction at worst. Making the music available digitally allows consumers to hear the music without labels having to invest money in manufacturing, production costs, and distribition in a shrinking marketplace. It just makes financial sense.
If it's a choice between having the music digitally, or not having the music at all because CDs are too costly, I'll digitally every single time, and embrace every physical CD release as a nice bonus from an industry that doesn't need to provide that medium any more.Movie Music UK http://www.moviemusicuk.us -

Jon, are you aware of the fact, that they are still using Compact Audio Cassetts in large parts of the world?
Are you aware, that also in large parts of the world the Net depends on copper cable, no broadband no nothing?
They don't need to provide CD for connoisseurs of classical music?
They don't need to provide Cdsany more? Yeah, sure!
I dont't buy into that Microapple ibullshit. That whole social network thing is already dwindling. And so will itunes in short time. NOone is buying e-books over here, noone is paying any money for mp3s.
And it does not make any financial sense if people like me don't buy the product. It does make financial sense though to download illegaly if mp3 is all you will get anyway.

You're missing the point. It's simple economics. I'm not talking about specialist labels like LLL or Varese, who have the agreements with the unions and the studios to press smaller runs of physical CDs for the collector's market, or who are financially stable enough to bid for the occasional new release.
I'm talking about film-studio run labels like Watertower and Madison Gate, or labels with a much more diversified musical output, like Sony or Atlantic or one of the major pop labels. It costs money to license music, to physically make CDs, to print booklets, and to distribute products to physical stores - much more than it does to release a digital album. In this financial climate, studios and more mainstream record labels have finite amounts of money that they have to channel into projects that will provide them with the biggest return on their investment. Here's a hint: that ain't film scores. We are way way way waaaaay down the pecking order in terms of importance to bigger record labels, who will sell 10 million Coldplay albums, but maybe just 10,000 copies of a score for a small movie.
But they still want to get the music out - so they provide us with the next best option which is the most cost-effective for them: digital downloads. No distribution costs, virtually no production costs, a huge majority of fans are satisfied with the product, and they don't lose money, which allows them to reinvest their label-wide profits into future projects instead of dropping cash into a hole where they lose money on every physical score release.
I'm not talking about classical music, because the loss they make in production costs can be offset by the fact that they don't always have to pay royalties for classical pieces in the public domain. It balances itself out.
I have no idea what the situation is in Germany, but the iPod and the iPad and the eBook are pretty much ubiquitous here in the USA, and shows no sign of reversing. Digital sales have outstripped physical sales consistently for years - thats why Tower Records and HMV and book stores have been going out of business left right and centre. I'd like to see what evidence you have for your assertation that social media and iTunes are going out of fashion.
Also, I have no idea what audio cassettes and copper wiring has to do with your "rant" though.
Like I said before, if it's a choice between not having the music at all due to economic concerns about releasing physical media, or having a digital download available, I'll choose the digital download 100 times out of 100.Movie Music UK http://www.moviemusicuk.us
