Single sales are now the lowest they have ever been, in fact I was in a studio last week and the first thing they knocked out wasn't a rough mix, it was a fcuking ringtone! > but, I might have read you wrong, I guess in general the majority won't, > but I think there'll still be a niche market. Also, I know lads who are mad > for buying northern soul 7's - they're no older than me, but they were from > a later generation of soul buyers, kind of the same thing. This will always be the way but its not how the mass market works I'm afraid, you can't force people at gun point... >well your kids are cool with it because it's free (and seen as >rebellious) at the moment. when the music industry have all this locked >down (and let's face it they are getting there) and people are paying 15 >quid (usual CD price) to download just data then they may face some >resistance. Disagree, they don't know any different and more to the point they don't really care - tough but that's the way they are. They don't see it as rebellion at all - they don't give a toss about it - they don't even think about it. One album or 15 Albums on a Dvd for a fiver - which one do you think they go for. As much as it pains me, we just have to move on... Martin
