    Not a bloody chance, sadly. The game has changed for the forseeable future.

    Can’t see streaming failing to be honest.
    The vast majority of consumers under 30 or so demand instant access & mobility built into a phone & app controlled etc. It’s how they live their lives.
    The notion of collecting music on a hard format, storing it somewhere, copying it to a computer & paying for every disc is totally alien to them.
    OK vinyl has an attraction & is enjoying a purple patch but that is in addition to their music accessed via their phones.
    I guess individual streaming services may come & go but streaming as a concept is here to stay for quite a while.
    £10..........the price of one or two cd’s a month or unlimited access to an infinite library of music per month.

    On a standard CD player the TOC will clock seperate tracks but play thru the concert flawless. These media players act like MP-3 where as they create an audiable gap.

    What im not understanding is why the industry are not making the effort to make everything abvailable as a lossless Download where you can legally pay for, instead we have shitty MP-3 available from various outlets. No way on earth would i pay for a lossy file.
