times those tapes and CDs were played. Most of them are still around, and I get back to them everytime I want to summon pleasant memories. Back then, I treated music as a gift, and as something you don’t cross your path with every minute.
Now? Well, usually I am not looking for free, legal music downloads, simply because I still enjoy having the CD in my hands, so I end up buying my music on CD/DVD. I don’t have to go out of the house, I don’t have any occasion to go to the music store and have a chat with that old hippie selling CDs, simply because the store is gone. All I have to do is type in some address in my Web browser, pay using my credit card or PayPal, and then wait for the package. Sometimes, I even download promo tracks from the artist’s website, if I am really that anxious to hear as much as possible before having the real thing in my hands.
Is this good? Is this bad? Free or paid, legal music downloads will never beat the real thing, at least for some of the music consumers. I hope we’re not only a few chosen ones, because some things should remain unchanged, and the way we enjoy music should never turn into clicking through some websites and loading our portable media player with tracks.
While the real <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://bindapple.com/history-of-the-ipod/”> history of the iPod</a> may shadow a less known history, that of turning music from art into a cheap product for the masses, in most cases, I think free music downloads or paid ones should survive, but people and advertisers should also keep in mind that the real thing is always better than the virtual one and act accordingly.
