Transition to Online Music
Friday, August 28th, 2009It’s hard to believe that in just a couple decades we’ve moved from vinyl records to compact discs to downloading online music. I remember the first time I read about iTunes and eMusic. It seemed a little weird to me to think about “not getting anything” with my music. I wanted the lumpy object. Part of what was fun about buying a new album was the album art and liner notes.
Honestly though, now that I’m used to it, I prefer the convenience of shopping for music online and I can do without the added packaging. I can always find reviews and notes online.
