I think you're going to be disappointed about the future. Given I need music to keep focused at work, I got a subscription to Google Play. Now I've got access to all the Beyonce I need for $10 / month. It kind of sucks because my desktop is not capable of caching music for offline use, only my Android can. Plus, if I end my subscription, I get to keep nothing. It's a great way to discover new music though. And I don't like SoundCloud because the signal to noise ratio is not that good and I don't have the patience. My point is that the notion of buying songs and albums is coming to an end. I personally don't like it, but there you have it. And sorry to say it, but for this future in which we rent music, I also blame piracy. I also think ad-blockers will be the catalyst for a similarly dark future for websites. The underlying cause is always people illegally using and not willing to pay for other people's work.
