Comments on: Trend: The Record Industry as We Know it is Dying http://smallbiztrends.com/2005/04/trend-record-industry-as-we-know-it-is.html Exploring the trends driving small business Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:39:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: MADE http://smallbiztrends.com/2005/04/trend-record-industry-as-we-know-it-is.html#comment-656945 MADE Mon, 30 Mar 2009 21:12:00 +0000 http://www.smallbiztrends.com/wpinstall/?p=582#comment-656945 The record industry is transitioning, but mentalities aren't changing at the same pace. A lot of music artists seem to be having a difficult time getting out of the major label cd mindset. I posed a question on Twitter the other day: I asked musicians what they felt was their biggest challenge in their music careers. An embarassing number of them said it was raising the capital to print huge numbers of cds. one guy wanted to print 25,000! I doubt he had 25,000 fans. He was just doing what he felt was appropriate regardless of whether it made business sense. The record industry is transitioning, but mentalities aren’t changing at the same pace.

I keep seeing these bands spend thousands in the studio, just to release one more CD and compete with everybody else.. If the CD isn't well recieved or you can't get exposed you just pissed away $10,000.. I just don't get it.. Single format is the way of the future... Thanks Gerd !

Since I'm not part of music or show biz my observation probably has little relevance. However, as a long time customer and now as a small time writer who is about to complete his first CD, I'm eager to find out more specifics,if there are any, about Leonhard's visions and relevations. Since I have a large catalog of songs, albums, musicals and the like, some of which I biasedly believe could be highly successful, where should I look to try and find the new Digital Angel? I welcome any suggestions. Stimulating and,perhaps,insightful article. Since I’m not part
