Competition from Chipolte could be a factor, though the owner<BR>
of Rocky Run mentioned a problem with declining sales over 4 years.<BR>
<BR>
It doesn't surprise me that Record & Tape Traders is closing. File sharing<BR>
programs, on-line music sales and cd burners in every computer have<BR>
changed the way music is exchanged. A generation ago Record & Tape<BR>
Traders capitalized on on the growing trend of home taping by allowing <BR>customers to 'rent' records overnight for $1.00. In 2007 consumers<BR>
no longer need to visit a retailer to get their music.<BR>
