There is no argument that consumer has embraced streaming as a way to consume music! For the consumer this is a no brainer, you don’t have to store you music on a shelf, you don’t have to fill up your phone’s memory with mp3’s and for a small monthly fee of $10-$15 a month you can have access to almost everything that has been recorded in the last 125 years. As a result the consumer no longer looks at recorded music as a product to purchase anymore. They don’t have to store it on a shelf or clog up the memory on their phone storing mp3’s. The convenience and vast scope of music that is available through this format for the consumer makes it almost impossible to return to the days where recorded music was something to own. |
