Yes, the best solution is to lower the costs of CDs.
I don't think paying to downloads in the answer. There are pay services available and most have not done very well because their selection of songs is very limited. Paying per download would be OK but 99 cents is too much. Subscription services aren't too good because nobody wants to subscribe to a service if the selection isn't good.
There have also been services where you can download, but not burn to a CD. That is obviously a bad idea.
I have read also that a company is trying to buy Kazaa and make it a subscription service, but it will be for streaming music that you can't even download. That would fail.
The record companies have to quit being so greedy. It's not the artists' fault. Artists make more money from touring and concerts than CD sales.
