Music 'industry' is in deep s...t.

[.:.impossible]

Looks to me like you boys have solved another one. And in record time.

Music will certainly survive and people will continue to do new things with it.

I am only kidding a little when I say I preferred it when a "single" was really two songs, side A and side B. They didn't have to put anything out on side B, but they did. You maybe bought the record for one song, then got a surprise on the flip side that sometimes you liked even better! Could it be that the music industry today has only half the good will it used to have? :blush2: A downloaded single could easily come with a surprising bonus second song, but I never see it happening.

This is a REALLY good idea.

Digital is about being "in motion" all the time. Analog is about "being still". Digital is a jet stream. Analog is a statue.

To successfully convey information today, you gotta keep it fluid & find a way to slip it into the jet stream (using a paper clip if necessary...). Building a statue & then sitting to look at it is not really where the action is today.

Yeah I've been thinking about this. Sitting and listening to a hi-fi kind of - dates a guy, if you know what I mean. I am starting to wonder how far I do it so much less because I am busy, or how far I just don't care to do it. Seems kinda passive. Maybe I just prefer doing stuff. If I *want* to access music I can access any amount, so if the time should ever come... Same for tv - no tv in the living room here. But there is a hi-fi (how quaint!). Maybe that should go too. No. Not yet. But one day, one day...

Really doesn't have to be either/or...it's just new possibilities, new ways...but those who have lived a life not having their sense of what and where "is" is defined in rigid, modular, time/place-specific terms/parameters will not have the same ideas or needs or inclinations as those of us who came up with a different sense in place.

Of course, as the possibilities change, so do the needs, and, it seems logical enough, so will the content (and the content-delivery mechanisms) that meets those needs.
