The NPD Group, a leading global market research company, recently reported that iTunes, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target, and Amazon are the top music sellers, in terms of both CDs and digital music, in the United States. Consumers who purchase CDs are doing so more and more from Web sites, and digital music sales have climbed 54% in the last year alone. Moreover, the four top CD sellers sell CDs at prices that are 35% lower than those found in brick-and-mortar music stores. According to Forrester Research, an independent technology and market research company, digital music sales will continue to grow, outstripping CD sales in a mere five years. Unfortunately, digital music sales are not growing sufficiently to account for the continuing decline in CD sales. Based on the information given above and information gleaned from outside sources, respond to one of the following essay prompts: 1. With the continuing drop in CD sales, what is the benefit, if any, of selling CDs at such low prices? What is the benefit of music labels' continuing to produce CDs? 2. Is the advent of digital music killing the music industry? What can digital music and/or CD sellers do to expand the market (increase profits)? Good Luck!
