Ipsos-Reid: More Americans Downloading Music

An anonymous reader writes "Ipsos-Reids ongoing research on file trading called Tempo again confirms a continuing rise in the number of Americans downloading music from the Net. Furthermore, almost a third (31%) of those who do download claim they have paid for at least some of the music they got online. Of course, having paid once from services like Rhapsody and PressPlay doesn't mean you were satisfied with the value. It does mean though that a sizeable audience are willing to give these record industry endorsed services a shot even though they can get it all free on KaZaa. You can see the the report graphs here."

So this is a new concept?

So what you are really trying to say here is that more people realize that you don't have to go out and spend $15 on a CD. And better yet the smarter people use a free service as compared to a pay service. I thought we all new that.

Same Old

This is the same old song and dance that is allways reported, by everyone, over and over. When you report something new, tell me.

No brainer
