Music fills a different void, though. I don't know many people who just sit down and listen to music the same way that they watch TV. I tend to agree with the other poster. Music is good, but any more is typically more of a backdrop to our lives than a driver of our lives. Music is something I put on in the background while I work, or while I exercise, or when the house is just too quiet.

I'm a Spotify subscriber, and they can't go much over $10 a month or I'll just stop subscribing. Spotify's real value is that it's cheap and it's easier than piracy. With younger generations becoming more technical, the percentage of people able to download uTorrent and get on TPB is getting larger. The value of music is declining as free (though illegal) methods of getting it are getting easier, and as music is starting to take less of a focal point in our lives.

Music just isn't worth what it used to be.
