Does The Emergence Of The Digital Download Signal The End For The Music Industry?

Since February 2010 the iTunes music store first launch in 2002 10 billion downloads. This shows that the digital download market is not the end of the music industry. Music industry should take notice of the digital download, as a majority of music devices like iPod’s are entirely digital. Digital downloads are more convenient now a days to the consumer. Uploading tracks straight to their MP3 players, giving them large amount of tracks on the go.

iTunes agreed with record labels to remove DRM in January 2009, Making downloading appealing to consumers, now being able to download a track and not have the restrictions they once had.

iTunes provide a better way to download. Consumers are choosing to pay for the tracks they download.  Which Means that digital downloads are helping the music industry evolve with technology more specifically the internet which is the future for music.
