I spent all my time listening to Pandora.com for free. I also listen to a broad range of music and not the prescribed format. I have tons of stations that play music I will never hear on the radio like Lightnin Hopkins, Bronski Beat, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Rev. Horton Heat, Chet Atkins, Keb Mo, Buddy Guy, Robin Trower.

But I have noticed most music stores only carry current music, the hot stuff they want everyone listening to. What of those more obscure listening habits? You know, the ones people hear the music, and in ghast say something to the tune of "That's not real music" Where do you get that older, or obscure music which the "Big Music" refuses to give to the people in the form of CDs? Peer to Peer. Is it illegal to share copyrighted music? Yes, even if they won't sell it. But if you can't find it, then P2P is the only way to enjoy such music, and hopefully one day you will find that elusive CD in a 2nd hand store, or in the clearance section of a music store. I say iTunes and such online retailers was an excellent way of trying to distribute music, where the virtual store could be as big as an Ikea...but it's in your own home.....still these places seem to make it hard to find obscure things. Easier, but still might not contain everything. I find that buying CDs is a good way to get current music.

These companies have shown a perverse drive to make each CD "louder" by blasting away all the dynamics of the music, and it just makes them unlistenable instead. This is an overlooked, but important factor in the decline of CD sales. It is also cultural vandalism. As such it lends a moral imperative to file-sharing of the original versions: p2p becomes the only way new generations can hear quality recordings of classic music.
