I was really surprised to see that the majority of pollsters 52% buy CD's, 27% pay for their downloads and 20% are pirates.
I assume my current 122 pollsters are clinging to the old school "I like the packaging" or they think I can track the fact that they might be pirates. Yes it is a poll but I disagree with it. CD's are dying. The CD section in any music retailer is mostly a ghost town. Between Jan and June this year only 2 of my students brought CD's in to let me hear their music. MP3 players and phones currently rule. I buy on iTunes all the time. I don't need packaging anymore. I am not attached to a format anymore. In the end it is the music I love and if something comes along that removes the current delivery of it, so be it and I am in. Much, much more on this when I finish my article.
