Sorry but this is an ignorant statement about the current landscape. A tiny minority of people still buy mp3s or CDs. Most music these days are consumed via streaming. Just because you do it doesn’t mean that most other people do it. Even I still use Winamp and listen to mp3s but that doesn’t mean that most people still do.

- remote_phone 6y agoSadly, the world doesn’t revolve around you. There has been 25 years of new music that had been created since you last bought a CD. You may pirate or purchase your mp3s, but even piracy has plummeted. And people who used to download mp3s found that they no longer needed to maintain music anymore if they paid a small subscription fee. Digital music sales are lower than physical CD sales, which is 5% of what it used to be back in 2000. The numbers speak for themselves.
