No Smile Or Disney at wallmart

[Alex]

Best Buy always has more than Wal-Mart. If anyone goes to a Wal-Mart expecting to find what they want and can't find it, it's kinda their own fault imo. Shop elsewhere for your music like, y'know, a record store or at least something that's at least kind of a record store (i.e. Best Buy, etc. etc. etc.).

One of the drawbacks of living in a rural area is that if you don't want to go to Evil Empire Mart it's at least an hour drive to the closest town with more than one big box store or an actual record store.

Funny, they seem to have plenty of room for Justin Bieber CDs even though there's no music on the disc.

Know what else they don't have at Wal-Mart? Customer Service or parking.

Again, you have the internet. Regardless, my main point was that I thought it was funny that the original poster/others were expecting something to be at Wal-Mart of all places and were somehow disappointed when it wasn't there when we're talking about the furthest from a legit record store you can get, here. If it isn't extremely popular right this instant, good luck finding something there.

This is poppycock. Not going to happen. There will be CDs in stores past the end of next year, and likely for years to come. The music industry still makes more money on CDs than anything else.

Contrary to a dubious report that was picked up by numerous blogs last week, there is no major label plan to abandon the CD format by the end of 2012. Such a doomsday scenario has frequently come up but has not materialized. History has proven labels and distributors are willing to work with retailers to keep them carrying music. Retailers may carry fewer titles and they pay less for them - which allows them to charge less - but they still carry CDs.
