But I am sure when it is available they will try to make that transition when necessary.

We often discuss the dying industry and realize HMV may only be around for another 5 years. You can't fight the consumer and they want easier access. Your comments on impulse buying is on the money because people aren't impulse buying the the cash register anymore, they're impulse buying on the go. <br><br>I just want to discourage people from illegal downloading. I know its easy but so a lot of other legal sources. Somebody created the music you're enjoying and if you want hear more of it encourage the creator by paying 99 cents please.

There are still a few around where I live for the collectors and the new vinyl fans. I miss hanging out at the stores, flipping through albums, talking to the guys that worked at the store about music and even selling used albums to buy new music. Yes there are tones of options to get music but much of the human aspect seems lost now. As far as the music industry, I don't feel sorry for them. They let Apple come in and in a few years redefine their industry. That's just plain pathetic and it is now happening to the newspaper industry. The sad thing is that they see it coming and are so pompous that they don't think it will affect their business. It's a shame that the old record stores are dying.

That is exactly how I feel. I find my buying or downloading<br>decision is more based on access at that time and less on price. Thanks Scott. That is exactly how I feel.

Consumers will always look for ways to get the music they want for free. Rather than investing so heavily in fighting consumers, the industry should try a little ingenuity. Give us more and better ways to buy your stuff and we'll do it.

Or you could keep leaving the inventiveness to us. We're happy to dream up new ways to get what we want.
