One in five Americans age 12 or older own a digital music player (DMP), according to a study released last week by a global market research firm.

The study, which is prepared quarterly by Ipsos Insight of New York City, noted that younger music listeners are driving growth in the DMP market, with some 54 percent of teens and 30 percent of 18 to 30 year olds owning a player.

Music downloading and DMP ownership go hand-in-hand, according to the report. Nearly half, or 48 percent, of owners told the Ipsos researchers that they downloaded music.

As to the source of that downloaded music, 25 percent of DMP owners said they used fee-based sites, while 19 percent used file-sharing services.

    I have never paid to download any music for my Zen Micro nor do I intend to. DRM drains battery life.
