New Way of Selling Music

In our every changing music industry the way we listen to music has even changed. We have come a long way from A-Tracks to MP3 players. That is no different from how music is being sold and bought. 

We have come from walking into you local record store and buying the newest album to now going digitally and buying just singles.  We use to have to buy a complete album just to hear your newest favorite song. But not anymore, with services such as iTunes that allows a fan to go in and buy just one song and not the complete album which may contain at least twelve songs.  

This new way of selling records has also created a more level playing field when it comes to main stream artist and the indie artist. An artist can remain indie while still being able to go gold or even platinum by selling a single. It may raise a question, within the next 10-15 years will there even be a need for record labels? Of course a record label can give you the money backing that you would need and allow you to get tour money. 

But as we all know that this industry is forever changing and we will have to just wait and see what type of changes it will bring to the industry.
