Well they announced this the other day…I found it interesting. Makes me wonder how many more years the CD format will actually exist. I'm thinking it'll be dead soon. I guess they determine the trend of music consumption now. My question is how do you stream music on a plane? Or anywhere wifi doesn't exist?

Haha vinyl is going to bury the cd

CDs are still outselling vinyl about 5 to 1.

Yes, but one is on the steady decline, one is on the rise.  I explained it all in the Vinyl thread - both trail streaming by a country mile:

I hate you all. 

Because of the "rebirth" of vinyl, tangible media (16%) is going to (re)surpass download purchases (19%) in the next year or so.

But don't get too excited - the impact of buying vinyl (29% of all physical media sales, up 3%) pales in comparison to the impact of streaming (68% of all music revenues) on the death of digital downloads (down 24%).

Let the high quality streaming wars begin, and prove Jay-Z right…..

Strangely, you're the second person to ask me this question this week.  I thought it was well known but apparently it's not.

With a paid music steaming service, you have the option to stream or download to your device.  You can download individual songs, albums or, depending on the service, your homemade playlists or music service created playlists.  They stay on your phone until you delete them or until you don't pay your monthly service fee.  This allows me to listen to them on a plane, underground on the train or anywhere else I don't have wifi or cell service.

I'm headed to Colorado in a couple days and have my entire Holiday Playlist and all of my best of 2017 Albums cued up for the trip.

. . . just a few years after the reverse.

Bury?  That's like congratulating that light dusting of snow on top of the frozen pond.  They're both going to melt away eventually and return just when you're feeling nostalgic, but have no long term impact.

Very interesting. So are you a Spotify person? Apple music? What is the best service? And what artists are still holding out on streaming their music? Didn't Radiohead just allow their music to be streamed to Spotify? I guess I'm still not ready or interested enough to make that kind of commitment because I'm still very much an iPod guy and at home my primary ways of listening to music are through Bluetooth to a speaker but also vinyl.
