Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Find a New Business Plan before You Vanish
You're right about them sounding better as long as the vinyl is not damaged. I don't miss the clicks and pops of a worn out record but when CD first came out I did the test listening to several of the same record on both formats and digital just can't reproduce the warmth of a record.

Pay satellite radio has flourished despite the availability of free AM and FM radio and the ubiquity of iPods. I once had a brief assignment for someone looking at Sat radio. I never did get it, other then if you're a sports fan or really needed to listen to howard or that stuff. Our first record player was from sears. * track from two guys. My cassette recorder from bradlees reel to reel from the hadassah thrift shop...as was the am/fm radio. Cd player fromanother place that went BK.. The speakers in my room were from a bunch of old radios, masking tape to the walls tied into an earphone jack..never purchased a record, cassette...maybe a few cds for my kids and wife. WJLK was am and fm. I got XM for my wife when it came out casue it was portable...She said sirrius was better. And now. I canned the cable box in the bedroom. Sat radio NOW is given away free with one or two years paid in new cars...on units that can hold a ton of donwloaded music or music from your cds or ipods. And play AM/FM. SO I listened to Outlaw country radio this morning on the way in. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

Pay satellite radio has flourished despite the availability of free AM and FM radio and the ubiquity of iPods. The article was published yesterday, but I, too, wondered about pay radio. Never bought into it myself, and it looks like Howard Stern may be sorry he made the switch._http://tinyurl.com/a457d9_ (http://tinyurl.com/a457d9) But in the same article is this: Even though Sirius XM is one of the very few media companies whose revenue and number of subscribers are growing these days, a dime and a nickel will get you a share of the company's stock (with some change left over). [52 week change = minus 95 %] I guess Wharton is referring to the public's continuing appetite for pay services, not whether an individual company has made wise decisions. I always opted for at least one premium TV and one On Demand package; then added NetFlix early on, 3 at a time for approx $18/month. Then, oddly, was able to get unlimited On Demand from Netflix by adding the Roku gizmo for less money, $9/month (less than the price of admission at most theaters). Now Roku offers Amazon's OD with more companies to follow So some media companies with smartz have been able to thrive in a fast changing technology environment. As a media consumer, I knew Netflix would thrive when I saw the 60 minutes segment in 2006. _http://tinyurl.com/2ch4ve_ (http://tinyurl.com/2ch4ve) Back then he was already gearing up for streaming directly to TV, not PCs. But what impressed me most was his understanding that customer service was paramount. NetFlix stopped hiding their contact numbers and went to 24/7/365 live phone reps. Amazon has a similar system with almost immediate call backs when you submit your phone number online. **New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making headlines.
