Hi,

I think this is a great development because the downloading of all this music is just destroying the industrie, sure the prices are a bit high but action reaction. The more people but the music the lower the prices wil be.

I am inclined to agree that a decline in music quality would play a role but if so sales should have declined about 5 years ago. I think it might just be that kids get their money from mom and dad and if they don’t have as much to give it impacts what the kids spend. People also seem more scared of illegal downloading now.

Yea i dunno about everyone else but i haven’t really been inspired much at all by recent music, perhaps i haven’t been looking to hard but most of it doesnt seem to warrant the effort of bothering with it all

“..According to a recent survey by The NPD Group, a market research company, teens (13-17yo) acquired 19% less music, both legally and illegally, in 2008 than they did in 2007.”

I’m assuming it has to do with the declining quality of music. If Lady Gaga represents the pop culture icon, maybe it’s time to re-invent the wheel.
