I'm not sure if your post is sarcasm or uncritical listening to the internet telling you people only buy music on the internet, but a quick glance at wikipedia [1] shows the ratio of physical to digital sales varies greatly by country. Even in the United states, the ratio is about 1:2. In Japan, it's 4:1. In Germany it's almost 5:1.
Physical media are still a $1.5 Billion/year business in the U.S. alone.

- vidarh 13y agoI don't actually know where to find one any more. I live in Londons most populous borough. I know there must be some in Central London still, probably in one of the locations I used to go to a decade ago, but the largest chains I used to go to have all gone bankrupt.
