The Problem With Current Music Sellings

Throughout the years, the way music is kept and shared has changed dramatically. I still remember when I was about 8 or 9, buying my first song on ITunes, it was Clean by Hilary Duff and I bought it for 99 cents. When I pressed the "buy" button, I couldn't believe that I had this song on my computer and I could listen to it any time in perfect quality for no charge. I never personally got to experience the area of big disk, but my dad has one and one time I listened to it, and for some reason it just sounded so sharp and clear, I loved it!! Then I remember the joy of opening a new cd and delicately putting it into the cd rom, and cherishing every song. I never get to experience that anymore, and there are some ups and downs to that. Don't get me wrong it's great to be able to reach any song with the stroke of a few keys, and even see music videos and live performances for free on YouTube, but I feel like it has kind of corrupted how we listen to music, almost made us greedy. Even this blog is an example. I can think of a song I like and put the link on my page, and someone could listen to just 20 seconds, and the maker of the song doesn't get any money or any benefit from being listened to. Also, we take music less seriously and dispose of it all the time. I think people need to take a step back from the electronic world, and appreciate music as a rarer art form, and love music like in the older days.
