I don't know what the music industry expects to happen in the future, but I'm fairly certain that the best approach for supporting musicians would be for Bandcamp and/or similar sites to grow in popularity. They've got the right approach IMO; high-quality DRM-free digital files, with the majority of revenues going direct to the artist, as well as curated lists (made by Bandcamp and music fans) for discovering new music. https://bandcamp.com/ https://bandcamp.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandcamp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandcamp
