The problem with the music business is the problem with the art business in general. There are way too many people producing art and music these days and not enough consumers. The price of music is negative in that people have so much music available that you'd have to pay people something or massively promote to get people to spend time listening to a new band. Companies like distrokid seem to do ok because they charge artists to distribute music. Fans really can't be bothered to pay anymore. I never said to myself, at least in the last ten years: "damn, I wish I had more music". For me, music is "done". I have plenty, I don't need anymore and it is of much better quality than what it used to be back in the 80s and 90s when I used to spend a lot of money on it.
