If people don't keep on paying for music then music will stop evolving according to this article

Just as the strongest and healthiest plants and animals pass on their good genes to future generations, researchers claim music evolves as musicians copy the best aspects of other artists' work while filtering out their less popular traits.
This means that every time someone buys a song, they are contributing to the "natural selection" process by which the best songs are rewarded with success and the worst ones fade into obscurity, the scientists said

I'd say the opinions in the article are fairly typical of young people in that age group. They grow up with the internet. Why pay, why wait, why travel. It's right there & its free.

I love the physical product meself, MP3's are like fast food, convenient, nice every now & then but not very satisfying... & probably bad for your health as well.

Will kids in near future still dream of being rock stars? or will the internet have made it impossible for only a small few to make any kind of a living from it?

anyone who dislikes this is dead

That's deadly. Must nick it somewhere

Apart from the obvious (they sound, look and feel way better), I buy cds and real books, 'cause I generally like the artists and believe they deserve to be rewarded. Ok, Joanna Newsom there, will never know how much her music means to me, but I do, and nicking her latest work (for that's what it is) off the Net, would, in all seriousness, make me feel like shit.

I only wish they would do away with those tragic plastic jewel cased cds, and replace them all with soft back packaged ones.

I'm with you there. Ugly and fragile. A complete design failure.

Yeah, but they are boring and too-easily breakable. The cardboard (what's the proper term?) versions are sometimes like lovely miniature vinyl

digipaks?

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Jewel cases look better on the shelf. Easier to read.

Those are great as long as they fit on the shelf.

If its any consolation I have 3 copies of Have One On Me

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

theres nothing worse than a cd in arty packaging that doesnt fit with any of the rest of the cds and has to be put aside on its own somewhere.

Yup, it's up there with patello-femural syndrome and feets on seats.

 

[Jim Daniels]

Thats the one!

A dry hump.

yes, and also those plastic strips on CDs you buy in America that you can't fucking get off

I thought she might be encouraging people to interfere with themselves.
