"I'd like to see people's iTunes collection in 30 years"

Might look different and be called different, but I bet there is some service offering most music in existence in 2050.

I have at least a dozen albums that are not on any music service today! In 30 years they’ll be impossible to find in any form.

If you get deep into any small/independent music scene you’ll find CDs are still king.

Are you saying that they will be lost and people will keep buying it again and again?

People will subscribe to another service. But you mean the local iTunes library? Isn't that DRM free? I mean having DRM on it still makes it their music that you "rent", so basically a subscription service.

My father was so ethical and bought a lot of music from some service of his ISP (Planet music or something), it is all lost. I'd never pay for DRMed music. At least with Spotify you know you don't own anything and just pay for access to a lot of stuff as long as you pay.
