Apple, The Predominant leader in Music sales
For those who are eternally We understand that markets are changing and that there alternatives successful models for implementation and to look to innovation even ask, I recommend reading the last study of MarketWatch where there are some really good statistics:
1. Apple with 25% of all music sold in the USA is the absolute leader with iTunes and its model … no one even comes close!
2. Physical sales (CD’s etc..) Accounted for 65% of all music sold.
3. Digital music is growing in sales, between 15 and 20% a year with falling physical music format at the same pace.
4.In late 2010, it will sell more music in digital download format than any other format.
And I miss the times where the music went with a Technics SL1200 MKII and had to clean the teeth is not important, the important thing is to see that (and I think I repeat for the thirtieth time) to people you give comfort download , sound quality, consistent pricing and tracks separately …. and the market “legal” is quite profitable and efficient, just look at iTunes and voila, no need to invent or even put into exquisite.
