The digital music renaissance (01 Jul 2004)
Amid the relief, there was also satisfaction. Thanks to computers and the Internet, I am now a better, happier and more productive consumer of music than I have ever been. I am exposed to more new music, I listen to more old music, and I purchase more of all kinds of music. I've spent more money buying music this year than in any of the previous 10 years.
The music industry hates this. By their every indication, record executives appear to be unhappy that I am more engaged with popular music.
