Not sure they have yet - among everyone I know, including tech people and people whose ability just allows them to use emails, and everyone inbetween, the order of popularity I've observed goes:
1.) Illegal downloads (torrents or rapidshare/etc.)
2.) Legal digital distribution (iTunes, Netflix, etc.)
3.) Traditional physical media
And 2./3. are really very close, might even be the wrong way around
As for radio, the order is:
1.) Replaced radio with mp3s and mp3 players
2.) Still listen to radio
3.) Podcasts (very few people)
- ghshephard 15y agoI was going to make a comment about how I don't purchase physical media - but I just looked around my bedroom at my iPad, iPhone, kindle and MacBook Air, and realized I don't -own- anything that can play physical media. I may be the leading edge of a trend, but I'm betting the majority of people will follow very quickly. Re: podcasts - all of my friends (bay area) listen to podcasts+spotify+pandora+ a little bit of kqed. Not sure how atypical they are.
