you can already create your own music CD's with the PC's that are out now. Make your own CD which you can play in any radio and not just your PC. Tons of software that is already out there with much of it for free. That's not going to stimulate demand for new PC's. In addition, Morpheus has already taken over the spot napster once held. Any new Napster that comes out which involves pay to play will fail. People will always seek the cheapest route and that is the free one. Even on the radio you have services like XM satelite radio where you can pretty much choose what you want to hear. Even the movie part has been filled. Pay per view is there and it's a whole lot easier for me to walk down to my local video store to rent whatever I want to see rather than download it from the internet. I can also watch it on any size TV I want rather than my computer monitor. I don't see media on demand as a big concern for many and again, today's computers are already capable of handling all this already. Media is over-rated as a cause for PC growth. It's not going to happen.
