definitely....as a teenager I saw concerts by Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, and they were dead by 1970. Regarding owning. Hard to say why. I don't feel the need to own many DVDs and prefer netflix (renting). I do like owning my home, my cars, etc. Maybe I'm just used to owning music vs renting it. I don't believe that any of these music services will last more than a decade. Of course there will be replacements for these services, but even with this, there are always some issues that pop up in the transition. The ironic thing is that this thread has posts concerned with whether SB products will be available in the future. I would be *more* worried as to whether my "rented" cloud music would be available in the future in the format, manner, etc. that I want. This said, I have no doubt that millions of songs will be available in some format or another in the cloud forever more. It's the few hundred out of those million that is not available that would bother me. Even today, there are albums not available on CD that I'd like to have (well, needle drops have been OK), there are books I want to read that are currently out of print and only available at 50 times the cost on ebay, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95885 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
