全球音樂CD銷量將繼續下滑英語美文

　　一份最新報告指出，未來兩年，全球音樂行業的CD銷量將繼續下滑，音樂下載帶來的新收入也無法完全彌補這一影響。

　　傳媒研究公司Enders Analysis預計，到2009年，全部音樂銷售額將只有CD銷售鼎盛期的一半。這家公司稱，預計2009年全球音樂銷售額將降至230億美元，較去年下降16%，遠低于1997年450億美元的峰值水平。

　　The music industry faces another two years of declining compact disc sales that will not be offset by new revenues from music downloads, according to a new report.

　　Enders Analysis, the media research company, predicts that overall music sales by 2009 will be half their level at the peak of the CD boom. Global music sales are forecast to fall to $23bn in 2009, down 16 per cent from last year and far below the peak of $45bn in 1997, according to Enders.
