But the thing is...you can still buy and own music for the things you want to own. For the price of 2-4 cappuccino's a month (depending on your music service and your cappuccino provider) - I can listen to almost whatever music I want...music I have missed over the years...explore styles and genres that I would have never touched. I still buy plenty of music but I could never afford all the music I would like to own...so otherwise I would just miss it. Let me give you an example. I have one Billie Holiday CD. I love it...but in 20 years I have never got around to buying another. So last weekend I decided to check out what is on Rhapsody....all of her works is there to explore...all of it. This weekend Bill Frisell is on my list. Buying compressed music to own - I would never do that. Unlimited access to streaming, downloads and moving to portables (and being able to play it in my car when I can) for a miniscule price...no question there for me. And then you can still buy CDs (which I still do).
