Little revolution underway this morning in the music industry. We’re trying to sort through our technology here at the rancho to decide what it all means to us. For instance, we had not upgraded our CD player. Now we’re glad, as CDs apparently will not be made in the same quantity as before. Mom has an MP3 player in her car, but Dad doesn’t. But Mom has an iPod, and Apple is trying to hold out, whereas Dad has an iRiver, which presumably will not. Confusing to us. More to musicians, I’m sure.
UPDATE: Well, it would be free, for the "price" of suffering through a little advertising, but the purveyor apparently is still trying to convince the music companies. But if they can’t sell CDs, and they admit they can’t in the quantity they need to, and the young will turn to independents before paying for MP3s, then something has to give sooner or later. Meanwhile, we’ll put our CD upgrade on indefinite hold.
