I guess I personally don't know anyone who really buys mix CD's. But you're right, SOMEONE must buy them. I suppose if you're name is big enough, you can sell a lot of anything, and Fabric has a reasonably big name. But with the number of free mixsets available from sites like Resident Advisor, there's already more mixes out there than one can keep up with.
I feel like scarcity made mix CD's a big deal in the past. That scarcity is long gone, as anyone who knows how to use google can find mixsets of their favorite DJ's online. And a mix CD does not have the interest for collectors that vinyl has. On the other hand, mix CD's are great for impulse buys, certainly I could see people buying them at a show, though I don't recall anyone other than m-nus doing much in the way of merchandising at their events. ~David On Fri, Nov 25, 2011 at 3:06 PM, Benn Glazier <b...@glzr.info> wrote: > On 25 November 2011 17:11, David Powers <cybo...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Hi Mike, I'm trying to figure out what you are saying here? >> >> People don't buy mix CD's really any more, as far as I know, so surely >> that is correct. >> > > Hmm..
