The quality? Seriously, when was the last time a full album was worth buying?

īut if the services and solid 4G connectivity are widespread enough already, what's keeping fans from buying in? That market is not going away anytime soon. People still loves to hear music, hence people need musicians, produces and composers. Perhaps the heavy marketing and prepaid heavy rotation of music is not an important factor anymore to determine what we should listen and possibly like. Perhaps the music industry will be forced to take more risks. Perhaps musicians now have to deal with more independence and CEOs should rethink their salaries. Perhaps the old format industry is bloated and obsolete. This is a win for consumer from my point of view. Ok, but the spectrum of choices and reachability that i (and possibly all of us ) have been experiencing increased a lot more while the prices have been going down thanks precisely to the opportunity to buy only the music we like. This is less choice and in fewer genres with less chances taken in those genres for the consumer. The labels have cut back on A and R and are very hesitant to sign anyone that is not commercial ready instead of taking a promising band and developing them. The number of new albums coming out is now going back down. The last 15 years of the music industry has seen half of the working musicians jobs vanish. OK then, is this good news for consumers? what about that point of view and analysis ?
