The recording companies simply need to find a new attractive way to present us their music, if they want to earn excessive amounts of money again.
None of them is certainly not running low on money, at the least.

Seriously, the whole downloading thing really helps with deciding on purchases. I've purchased a bunch of things just based on downloading.
Although I'll mourn the death of the CD market. 192kbs mp3 purchasing does not cut it for me.
