Matt McIrvin's Freaky Alternate Reality

I actually think the problem music industry people are running into is not just that people copy one another's mp3s, it's that once they put their own collection in such a format they spend all day re-listening to albums they already own -- from many years ago -- rather than buying new ones. somehow this happened much less to people when you had to fish around for the album in a big box/rack. clicking a mouse button seems significantly easier (or better yet, leaving it on shuffle).
