The Evolution of Music Manufacturing: Why CDs Are Obsolete & Digital Management Is the Future
The way music is manufactured, distributed, and consumed has changed drastically. Physical formats like CDs and vinyl once dominated the industry, but in today’s streaming-driven era, artists no longer need to press, package, or ship physical copies. Instead, they need a digital infrastructure that ensures their music is designed, formatted, uploaded, and managed across all platforms—seamlessly and efficiently.
🔹 Why CDs Are No Longer Necessary
✅ Streaming Reigns Supreme – Platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal have replaced CDs as the primary way audiences listen to music.
✅ Direct-to-Fan Access – Artists can release music instantly and globally without manufacturing delays.
✅ Lower Costs & Higher Profit Margins – No need for pressing, packaging, or distribution fees—digital music allows artists to keep more revenue.
✅ Eco-Friendly & Sustainable – Eliminating CDs reduces plastic waste and production costs, making digital music more sustainable.
