SoundCheck: Do You Think Music Consumers Will Stream More Music Than They Download?

I'd say that depends on the legality of the downloads you're talking about...

[NURREDIN]

I think it depends on the genre. R&B, Jazz, and Country fans don't like to download and want that physical cd in their hands. Maybe that's the markets we should be concentrating on.

Why! Yes. Because they are too pickey! Now more then ever.plus Half don't know real! music! Anymore. It's a shame.if the light went oiut! All over the World! For a year. Then and only then.. We will all know How's really a player. Because a real! Player! Can play anything. They make there own Music! So we need too focus! That's what they didn't do. Make all the newbies.. Do there Home work! And not just buy! A studio! And say! I'm a producer! And they ain't.. A producer's job! Is too Produce! Anything.. With lights on our off!. We should! Have a test! Too really see who! Got skills! If they don't. Get out! And stay! Out. Because they are killing the income! All of it!. E007..aka..iproduce! Why the name so they won't keep asking me Who! I put out.

It's just a matter of time 'til streaming takes over...many many people are listening on their smartphones. Once the phones talk to their TV home theater systems and their car audio systems, the big vendors like Apple and Amazon will drive the way we get our music. Convenience will win out over the psychological benefits of "owning" the download. But the war is already lost - with CDs waning, the chance to sell an "album" is fast disappearing. This is already hurting mid-level artists.

Well, streaming income is good to server and site owners. Downloads are good for artist and consumers of media, so yes the legal aspects are the most relevant matter. Music will be gotten!

[Weat Productions]

Streaming no doubt will be the final result of all these millions of videos over downloading but downloading won't change much because it all comes down to sales. The billions of songs and artist will be streammed less than the few as now, and the main stream (no pun intended),top selling artists and music, will be streamed and downloaded more because the few bring in more money and allways have. Unfortunately if your reading this your one of the billions. I have a format that "will" stream every one of the billions and the few at no cost to either.
