Andrew Dubber publish a very interesting blog that we regularly visit.
He also wrote an interesting book named “The 20 things you must know about music online”‘.
Digital Central interviewed Andrew and the article is worth reading.
Of course you can buy this book “in dead tree format” on lulu.com but Andrew got a better idea. You can download this ebook free of charge from here.

Today is the Compact disk’s 25th birthday. The first CD had been produced by Philips on 17th August 1982 using materials coming from Bayer in the Langenhagen Polygram’s factory (near Hanover in Germany).
This first CD manufactured was “The visitors” album from Abba .
In November 1982, in Japan, the first musical CD had been put on sale. Wikipedia explains that (in Japan), “the first album available was a compilation of 16 japanese-made titles from CBS/Sony”. Japan was also the country where the first compact disc player had been marketed (with the Philips CD100).
Jovan explains why he is thinking that the Internet killed the LP. Maybe he is right? But as “nature abhors a vacuum”, and following Darwin’s theory, artists and labels will have to adapt. Any comments ?
