I don’t know how many of you remember when the only way you could get new music was to go to the record store and buy a record or even dare I say this – a 45. Do you remember the terms LP, EP and 45’s? Of course while you were at the record store you could also buy music on cassette tapes as well.

I can remember trying to make my own cassette tapes by trying to record music off the radio or taping records as they played. When I was young I didn’t have my tape recorder hooked up through the stereo so the recordings were not very good!

By the time I was a young teenager CDs were starting to come into the picture. I don’t think any of us thought they would last at the time. That kind of reminds me of the Beta video. Little did we know that CDs were here to stay and were only a harbinger or things to come in the form of digital music.

It’s so easy to buy music digitally now I bet that almost all the people who read this post have purchased at least one song or album digitally if not hundreds. Have you ever wondered how the online music industry has evolved over time? Here’s some interesting information about it.
