Chapter five in “The Future of Music” by David Kusek and Gerd Leonhard discusses of the future of music sales. It discusses how CD’s are becoming obsolete due to digital music and pricing. I think that CD’s should be lowered in price, because who wants to spend $15 to buy one when they can get it for free or buy single tracks for 99 cents? Most people just want the singles anyway. In addition, the retail space of CD’s is shrinking, making it harder to find certain music. So much more is offered online and more artists can release stuff online without a record label. According to the article, a lot of fans buy videogames that feature music, which outsells a lot of CD’s and digital tracks. Many bands make money through merchandise and touring sales and give away free tracks. The future of music can change at any moment.
