True. The only way specialty niche labels like Intrada, La-La Land, Quartet, Music Box etc. can survive is by selling CDs. There is just no money to be made by them from either streaming or digital downloads. Digital downloads, which I quite like, are even more niche than CDs.
The problem with streaming is that not only is not everything available on streaming, sometimes stuff gets withdrawn. As far as soundtracks are concerned, I know Pino Donaggio’s DOMINO and Jerry Goldsmith’s EXTREME PREJUDICE were all available on streaming services such as Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify, and were then withdrawn… so tough if you want to listen to them. (Unless, of course, you bought them as a digital download or on CD.)
