| Gad, I hope not. I want to pay for an album once, not over and over again.

kudos:1 | A subscription service is so much more than that!
However, it's not for people that only like a few songs or don't like to explore various artists and genres.
I look at it as I have access to anything ever made, wherever I am. Dynamic playlists, custom channels, no storage worries, etc. Well, anything ever made that the label hasn't revoked from legal distribution.
I would also like to see DVDA and SACD continue on for the higher definition multi-channel recordings. |

DVDA has more potential imo, simply because there is already an installed base of DVD players and not many SACD(i think SACD support isnt in all the PS3s anymore).

I hope not I'm not a fan of MP3s. But that aside in my opinion Gartner is about as reliable as a weegie board. |

Not THE future, but another viable alternative for music fans. To be honest there should be room for all of this. CDs, MP3s, LP records, subscriptions... they are all valid mediums. Now that we have done away with 8-track and cassette tapes (mediums with fast degradation) we are free to pursue all these possibilities.
CD - A lossless hard copy that can't be accidentally erased. Best audio quality (more so if you count 24bit audio and DVD audio).
Vinyl LP - A true analog medium. Many people prefer the dynamic range and frequency response of records, calling it a "warmer" sound than digital recordings.
MP3 - Compressed audio that still has a lot of the same quality. Compact data size that's great for portable music enjoyment and can be moved with ease.
Subscription - Take a taste of all sorts of music all the time. Problem is with many current services you don't own the music. Once your subscription is up the music is gone. |
