20th Anniversary of CD Today


Time flies when you're having fun. Yup, Sony introduced the CD in Japan 20 years ago (Billy Joel). Per Public Radio, they thought it would take off but got tons of grief instead. Audiophiles didn't like the sound. Record companies thought the bits would be too easy to copy. Lots of groups thought it was a bad idea. The record companies just don't like anything new, do they? As it turned out, they amassed a fortune from the restocking. In any case, 20 years! Wow! It took that long to take it to the next steps.
