Also,

“Money spent on live music exceeds that spent on recorded music.”

encourages musicians to play more live performances, which I think would weed out anyone who has no business playing music for a living through the help of studio gadgets. Not hating, just my two cents :-)

Or maybe, as I have seen written here and there, the key is to diversify your income streams, charge for CDs, some mp3s, branded USB sticks, merchandise. I have been out of the biz for a while (at least in any professional sense) but the old itch never went away so I am back and looking forward to experiencing first hand the difference between the way things worked in the early/mid 90s and now.

Unfortunately, the Internet has created the digital musician, artist, singer or band who is not familiar and worse yet has no intentions of performing live. For all the good the Internet brings a touring band or artist probably has a better chance at a long-healthy career by performing live on a regular basis. Additionally, by performing live a band is able to record their shows an offer an additional product to sell.

I think they meant this to be negative (all this sharing and stealing and so on) but I’m pleased that you see it differently. I can’t help agreeing that the more people sharing music has got to be good right? Thought so.

Thanks for this interesting post! I was wondering if you could provide a link or citation for the study so that I can read the whole study?

Many thanks,
Matthias

The overall sales numbers a still quite small, but the rate of change is enormous. There has also been a surge in sales of USB turntables, most likely to rip old vinyl collections, but nonetheless – vinyl is back.

I wanted to ask if there were any results regarding the increase in Vinyl sales. It’s not going to solve the problems in the record industry, but it is an interesting development.

I’m finding myself wanting to buy Vinyl (for albums and artists I really value). I just ordered the new Coldplay on Vinyl and am actually excited to hold it and experience the artwork. The thought of the CD doesn’t hold any value to me anymore. I’m 25 by the way and grew up with the CD.

Thanks again,

Hoover
