Possibly Sainsbury are only stocking what they sell most of, and two things would put me off buying CDs there. Little choice ( as I find that a pack of CD's ,once the plastic is off ) needs to be stored properly). Hence, I only buy CDs in small quantities. And Sainsbury only stock CD in packs of 10 or more. Price. They are far more expensive than other High street competitors. DVDs also fall into these two categories. CDs I can see falling in demand as the capacity (storage ) falls. Then there's demand. It's about cash. Why pay circa £10- 20 for a large pack of CD/DVD, when I can buy ( possibly infrior quality) from an other store for a lot less. Burn whatever they call "music" to a DVD, and play it for the time it takes to become out of date in whatever source they choose, and then at that proce it's "throwabay" .
