OUR FAVORITE RESPONSE TO THE OP-ED PIECE SO FAR:

Nostalgia for the days when music stores for pop music aficionados doubled
as salons for the cognoscenti won't bring back those days. The CD album
and the CD single are dead and gone, done away by technology that delivers
the whole repository of recorded music direct to listeners' ears. All this
calls for a new business model, still evolving, based not on longing for
days gone by but on the realities of the here-and-now era of digital
technology.
