Hi, I would like to know the known number of CD player owners in the US and the rest of the world. Any references as to the predicted future size of this market would be appriciated too. Thanks, Jeff

I would suggest that you look in a report from Julie Schwerin at InfoCorp or some other research company like Frost & Sullivan. Also, Apple in the USA has just released a report on the World Wide CD-ROM market. It is quite good and summarizes several other reports. Staffan "BamBam"

Staffan, Do you have any idea how I could go about getting the Apple report? To whom was it released? Thanks for you help, Jeff.

Jeff, The Apple report was distributed to AMP members as part of their Multimedia program. Unfortunately, my copy seems to be buried but I will send you more info when I find it again. I would recommend applying to AMP for all serious Apple-compatible multimedia developers. They deliver a lot of useful info as well as discounts on HW and SW. David L.

David, We develop for PC's so AMP is not much of an option for us. Thanks for the info though, I'll try to locate an AMP member. I would appriciate it if you sent me the info when/if you find it. Thanks again, Jeff

Jeff: Just in case you missed the rest of the propaganda, the Optical Publishing Association has some of the information you in its semi-annual report available exclusively to members. You can get more info by downloading MEMFRM.TXT in lib #14 of this forum. Best – Rich Bowers
