The music world has ceased to exist like it was before digital music. People no longer go out and buy CD albums in a hard copy format. It’s much easier to log into your itunes account and download it strait to your ipod. Other digital music devices are also preferred over the traditional CD’s.
When you think about music things like records and tape players are not what comes to mind at all, it seems that CD’s are on their way down that rode themselves due to the new infatuation with digital music. Files are bought, sold, downloaded, and shared at record breaking speeds. You no longer have to take the time to find a store, go to a place and buy an album. Now all you have to do it type in a web address or click on an application and you can be singing along to your new favorite songs in no time. This means that the way music travels is much faster, this can be an advantage for the music industry as a whole because when things are accessed easily they are more likely to have more people do them. This is also means that people will most likely buy songs that are new just because they know that they are new. On the other handthis also means that people who would have to look for an old CD for a certain songs or artist can now find all of the old songs as well as the new ones with digital music.
Take a look at some of the effects and progression of digital music over time.
