I'm with you. Love my CD's. I hadn't really thought of that. Some of the big indies do have physical CD's but I know nothing about Empire (other than what was posted here) so you are probably right. I know nothing about what Empire does. I have a musician son, though, who is on an indie label that is smaller than Empire and his band's music is still released on CD. They also put out a limited run of vinyl. Probably the number of printed CD's is quite small, but for now one can purchase their albums in CD format from several sources, including amazon.
A lot of CD's are purchased at their shows from the merch table.
So although streaming is becoming dominant there may still be some CD's for a while longer.
peace&love

Well, good to know. Maybe Adam's new deal with Empire will provide some CDs...maybe not available at tons of places like Walmart, Target, etc like in the past....but at Amazon would be great or like you said at merch tables.

I don't like streaming. I don't want some computer or person deciding what I want to listen to. I want to create my own playlists/mix tapes including recordings that have been released many years ago, or never (like QAL's live performances, Adam's Upright Cafe renditions, etc). I guess that makes me an old fuddy-duddy. On Spotify you can make your own playlist. You can make them with the music they have in their catalog, but also with the music you have on your computer. So you can add those QAL live performances and also Adam's performances not on Spotify. You do have to pay for a premium account for that though. The side effect is that if you use that playlist for the songs that are on Spotify you will add to his streams and give him a little revenue every time you play it. It doesn't matter if you have a premium account or a free account for his songs to be added to his streams or for him to receive revenue from the play, right?

You don't need a premium account for streams to count. It's just that you have a couple more options when you have premium. Plus higher quality audio.

I remember that we discussed years ago how important it is to get on that list. Adam was nowhere near it back then. YES!!
