CDs should have been priced the same or cheaper than vinyl records. But the music industry decided to double prices while lowering costs. And they were very sloppy with many initial cd releases being just dumps of the vinyl masters onto cd with no care and then less than a decade later they started "remastering" their catalogs. People voted with their feet. Plus the main things that have caused music purchase declines are video games and home media like movies and pay tv show content.
