re: MP3
I believe there will be time when get all of media, music, movies, web multimedia events and plain old TV shows, downloaded to device I call a media cube, if not as stand alone device in your house, a device that will go out an fetch what you are looking for. Not only that, there will be digital radio which we will get first, then later you will be able to download music to your car for listening from your own stored music or as your drive around, you will also be able to beam over music to the driver next to you, only if they want to hear it or course. <gg> As far as what this means to record stores, many of the bigs will not make it, were as record stores that sell used CD and DVDs, will get deluged with used product, and prosper for sometime but they too will become a thing of the past. All and all I like MP3, it gives a performer freedom to create and sell as they so chose with the hassle of The Suits getting in the way.
