The end of record companies doesn't mean the end of recorded music. That guy who makes music in his basement will keep doing it for the same reason he does it now- he loves to do it. The difference is that now there won't be a big record company standing between him and you. You won't have Clearchannel deciding which 3 artists you get to hear. Sure they control the radio, but who listens to radio any more?
People will still make, record, and distribute music. It isn't going to go away. It will just change. For a while it will be harder for some artist and nonartists to earn a living by making music. Why is everyone so afraid of change? I think the average music lover is going to have more music, and more quality music available to them then ever. Internet radio isn't yet under anyone's control (though they are certainly trying). No one will ever stop file sharing. No one can say how things will end up, except that it seems likely the big recording companies will either change their business or disappear.
