    Can anyone realy imagine a future 50 years down the road where anyone is interested in buying a piece of plastic with music on it?

    Electronic transmission of text has been easilly available for several decades now, yet people still buy stacks of paper with words printed on them.

    As long as owning an album one a removable storage media means actually owning that copy, people like me will pay for it when the music is good enough to be worth buying.
