We Are Going Digital, Why? 10 Reasons

All future releases on Ferrispark Records will be digital downloads only. Ferrispark Records will be working with Beatport and iTunes as the main digital download stores representing the label and music. I believe these stores do the best job, offering the most to customers and clients, and constantly working hard to stay ahead in the growing world of digital download sales.

Why?
Sometimes its extremely hard to except change. It means the days of pressing vinyl are on hold and the acceptance of a new format of media is taking place. It means from here on out, things will be different. Here are 10 reasons why I decided this change is what is best for Ferrispark Records at this protocolar moment in time.

1.Record and CD sales dropped by more then 50%
2.Digital is cost effective for labels and consumers
3.Consumers have more buying power (choice)
4.Less environmentally destructive material
5.Digital provides freedom for artists
6.Market share less then 1% to more then 3% of world
7.I own and use Traktor Scratch to Deejay
8.I own and use computers to make music
9.I believe digital will sound better then analogue
10. I believe digital is the future
