True what you are saying, photostill.

The story is, that in the past, all the money had to come from CD sales.
A lot of these record company CEO's still think that this is the way to get money.
The performing artist get a very small profit of these sales and the company makes most of the money.
A good band or singer performs live, at festivals and concerts, and will make enough money, in any case.
Some of them work without record companies and use the internet to make their music known to the public.

On a CD, there are maybe a few good songs, the rest is all stuffing.
The consumer want's to pay for the few good songs and not for the stuffing.
These few good songs are not for sale in a shop, without buying the whole CD. So people download them, and cutting out the record company.
Today, there are only a few artists around, where a person could say "It is worth to buy the whole CD".

The technology world claims that within a couple of years, the cd's are something of the past. Because it is all digital now, one can store music on various media.
The record industry is missing the train.

Today, the quality of music, is not the same level then when the biggest names in the UK music industry made music.

This scientific article came out today.

"New Study from No Duh University Finds All Modern Pop Songs Sound Alike"

In a paper published today in Scientific Reports, researchers from the Spanish National Research Council claim that pop music has become increasingly homogenized over the last 50 years, as well as "intrinsically louder."

"We found evidence of a progressive homogenization of the musical discourse," team leader Joan Serra, an artificial intelligence specialist, told Reuters. "In particular, we obtained numerical indicators that the diversity of transitions between note combinations - roughly speaking chords plus melodies - has consistently diminished in the last 50 years."

To study pop music's development — or lack thereof — Serra and his crew turned to the Million Song Dataset — "a freely-available collection of audio features and metadata for a million contemporary popular music tracks."

They determined that not only do all modern pop songs sound the same, but they've also gotten much louder.

According to Reuters, Serra says his paper is the first to properly measure the so-called "Loudness War," which Serra defines as "a terminology that is used to describe the apparent competition to release recordings with increasing loudness, perhaps with the aim of catching potential customers' attention in a music broadcast."
