Overtime, I expect to see the end of the album as a concept, and thats
more worrying. As streaming services become more embedded and a way for
the media giants to maintain a profitable lock on the industry, I'd
expect them to start only releasing tracks via streaming services.

While that might be good for streaming receivers, over time those to
will become only the linked to the same streaming services, it's just a
question of time for this to play out. There are two many big companies
with deep pockets and time to play the long game.

We are already light years from the days of MusicMatch and local MP3,
through Napster and on. How long before home speaker devices will be
amazon, google, apple and a few others, with exclusive rights to
specific stream services? The new "cable tv".
