Do you think music is getting cheaper?

I only ask because I just bought a cd that went out of print only a few months after it was released due to a lawsuit. I used to see used copies go for a ton on ebay, usually for a minimum of $50. I bought a copy today for $16. Recently I've seen other examples. Are prices dropping or is it just my imagination?

Unfortunately for my cd collection I just think cds in general aren't worth shit. People just find a DL of it. Unless it has a really cool insert or something that makes it stand out.

CD's are getting cheaper here thanks to strong Aussie dollar and shit US dollar

Though I went to a CD shop in Brisbane the other day and looked over their punk/metal/hardcore and some of the shit well and truly over $30, usually for good European metal. Terror albums and shit like that $26-28...

It's cheaper to get from RevHQ, Interpunk, The End/Omega, Very Distro or even Amazon and have it shipped across the planet to Australia than it is to get a lot of the CD's in store here.

A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
