Thinking about how others in this thread have identified the ripping and delivery (PC to SB+) processes as the significant obstacles to digitised music reaching the mass market, is it not fair to conclude that on-demand services, rather than CD purchase and rip, is the way forward?
For a start it is neater (requiring fewer user interventions), sound quality and tag accuracy can be regulated by the provider, and the user wont need to worry about backup. The whole process will be facilitated by ever-speedier and more stable internet connections, which are already becoming standard via our telecoms providers for TV. Surely its a case of when we stop using physical media rather than if ?
