Prices are going up. It's common to find albums selling for $14 online as opposed to that originative $10 mark, and the music industry is finding that selling singles online hurts the bottom line.

Downloading isn't killing music

Downloading isn't killing music 07/22/2004 11:43 AM
Suw Charman has written an excellent article for the Guardian on my pal Koleman Strumpf's empirical, quantitative research on the effect of downloading on record sales (he concluded that it doesn't really have one), and the music industry's content-free bluster in reply.

"We consider it a very flawed study," says Matt Phillips, a BPI spokesperson. Both the BPI and the International Federation for the Phonographic Industries (IFPI) have criticised the study for including the Christmas period when people are buying CDs as gifts.

"It's very straightforward to address these kinds of criticisms," says Strumpf. "We got rid of the Christmas season and just looked at the first half of our data. We still find the same effect."...

"Over the period 1999 to 2003, DVD prices fell by 25% and the price of players fell in the US from over $1,000 to almost nothing," says Strumpf. "At the same time, CD prices went up by 10%. Combined DVD and VHS tape sales went up by 500m, while CD sales fell by 200m, so a possible explanation is that people were spending on DVDs instead of CDs."

The Money In Music Downloading Is Still
In Hardware 12/09/2003 01:19 PM
As just about every company finalizes their plans to set up their own imitation music download store, a new study is suggesting (as has been said before), that the real money in downloadable music is for consumer electronics firms selling more hardware to play back the music. The study also found that an awful lot of people really aren't interested in paying for downloadable music. Of course, I'm still waiting for someone to go ahead and offer a complete musical package. That would be a music player that comes complete with a ton of music already installed - perhaps covering a certain (prolific) artist, or an entire genre. It could also come with some sort of service that would let users download new songs in that category as they come out. Of course, as it stands right now, the recording industry would force the price to be so high on any such offering that it could never be done.

http:// www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/153/report_display.asp

About 36 million Americans—or 27% of internet users—say they download either music or video files and about half of them have found ways outside of traditional peer-to-peer networks or paid online services to swap their files, according to the most recent survey of the Pew Internet & American Life Project. The Project’s national survey of 1,421 adult Internet users conducted between January 13 and February 9, 2005 shows that 19% of current music and video downloaders, or about 7 million adults, say they have downloaded files from someone else’s iPod or MP3 player. About 28%, or 10 million people, say they get music and video files via email and instant messages. However, there is some overlap between these two groups; 9% of downloaders say they have used both of these sources. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent for results based on internet users. In all, 48% of current downloaders have used sources other than peer-to-peer networks or paid music and movie services to get music or video files. Beyond MP3 players, email and instant messaging, these alternative sources include music and movie websites, blogs and online review sites.

Downloading Music Encouraging CD
Purchasing 01/02/2004 03:42 PM
A NY Times reporter has written up his experience in trying to get one of his sons to stop using Kazaa and start using iTunes or Rhapsody. He admits that it's really pricey for limited selections, but feels more comfortable about it. He's also surprised that in letting his son download music, he now wants to buy more CDs. Despite the music industry claiming that no one would ever want to buy CDs if they could download music (especially teenagers!), the reporter's son wants the CDs because they come with liner notes and lyrics that make it worthwhile. Again, this is an example of the industry missing an opportunity. People (including myself) like to own the actual CDs if it provides us with additional value. At the same time, downloading music can help people figure out what CDs they want to buy.

Because there aren't already enough different (and often incompatible) music download stores online, various British newspapers are now looking to get into the game. It seems odd that so many brands that have absolutely nothing to do with music retailing somehow think they can now make selling downloadable music a worthwhile business, especially when there's so much competition and so few ways to differentiate.

I doubt this is all that surprising to most people, but Forrester is predicting a shift from the CD to buying downloadable music, while at the same time predicting that about half of the current music download stores will go out of business by the end of the year. I think they're being a bit optimistic on both predictions. I'm still not convinced the CD is going to go away that quickly. While I also agree that many of the music download stores aren't long for this world, I'd be surprised if most of the current ones didn't at least make it through a year - but perhaps not much longer than that.

Here's an excerpt of a speech given by the singer from Sister Machinegun at a recent gig at Jamie Zawinski's DNA Lounge. It speaks for itself:

Anyways, everything we've played in this set up to this juncture, this crossroads, this... interlude... is released on Positron Records, which we own and operate, the representative of which [at the merch booth] will be happy to supply you with a fix in that regard, for a modest fee which will go toward letting us sleep in a hotel room instead of the van...

Everything after that juncture (that interlude) is released on Wax Trax Records. which means it's owned by -- actually it's not owned by TVT Records, it's owned by Credit Suisse. so technically speaking, the first four Sister Machine Gun albums are released on Credit Suisse, a Swiss bank, which is kind of cool when you think about it.

The point being, I don't get fuckin' paid for that shit, not a dime, not a single red cent. So you can go ahead and go home, and -- hey, you can download it right the fuck here, they got WiFi. Just get up on Morpheus or some fuckin' thing and get that shit for free.

Xeni Tech on NPR: Changing view of
downloading music 03/29/2005 05:20 PM
Xeni Jardin: For today's edition of the NPR program "Day to Day," I report on how the popularity of online file-sharing sevices has affected the way music fans find, distribute and listen to music. I speak with artists Michael Donaldson (aka Q-Burns Abstract Message) and David Byrne, and random folks buying tunes and movies at a record store in Hollywood. The short version? It seems that for many music-lovers, "consuming habits" involve some combination of purchased hard goods (CDs, DVDs, vinyl); paid downloads; and "illicit" P2P or other unpaid forms of tune-sharing. Those complex behaviors may explain in part why some studies show that music sales are up in spite of the fact that P2P use is still high, and growing.
