Poll: Is the digital music 'revolution' over?
Reading reviews about how companies at TechCrunch50 supposedly weren't 'world-changing' left me wondering about the music world.
Is this it? I've been waiting for the labels to collapse; the haven't. I love Pandora, but it still caters to the labels. Is that the end to the digital music revolution: Labels continue to collect royalties, we get iTunes and Pandora?
Has the paradigm-shift I've been waiting for happened, and I just didn't see it?
- JCThoughtscream 17y agoA better question, perhaps: Has a digital music revolution /actually happened yet?/
- jrwoodruff 17y agoOr will it for that matter? It's been incremental so far. mp3s begot mp3 players, eventually the iPod, iTunes. Faster connections allowed Pandora to happen. Is that the seeds of a revolution, or is it the revolution in progress? Is revolution really just a steady march of incremental improvement?
