Check out the recent article on Breitbart about music sales and the future. This is a continuing conversation from my previous blog "The Long Tail, iTunes, & Reprographics."
Here are some of the interesting quotes.
Consumers are sending a message to artists that "while you may have put a lot of thought into the sequence of the album, I only like these three songs," said digital music industry analyst Michael McGuire of Gartner Research.
"It comes back to consumers being in complete control of their media experience, and that is not going backwards," Gartner told AFP while discussing the drop in album sales and the rise in single-song track purchases.
MY PREDICTION: Digital Album sales are going to go up as listers broaden the variety of their collections and build an affinity for artists.
