Comments on: The Incredibly Shrinking Music Biz — EMI Shutting Down Some Asian Offices http://gigaom.com/2008/04/13/the-incredibly-shrinking-music-industry-emi-shutting-down-some-asian-offices/ Tracking the Internet Evolution Sun, 07 Sep 2008 11:11:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 By: Dimitrios Matsoulis http://gigaom.com/2008/04/13/the-incredibly-shrinking-music-industry-emi-shutting-down-some-asian-offices/#comment-872203 Dimitrios Matsoulis Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:33:04 +0000 http://gigaom.com/2008/04/13/the-incredibly-shrinking-music-industry-emi-shutting-down-some-asian-offices/#comment-872203 <p>CD sales fall for the last few years so as other commenters have mentioned downsizing would sooner or later happen. The music industry has lost historic opportunities to modernise and instead chose to fight to end in order to retain the CD model of distribution. In the meantime it did nothing to keep its customers. Prices have remained extremely high and to say the truth I found that music quality in the last few years has suffered considerably. http://electronrun.com/</p> CD sales fall for the last few years so as other commenters have mentioned downsizing would sooner or later happen.

They have enjoyed such a huge over-price over previous decades, due to the constraints of physical distribution -CD/vinyls cost, scarce shelf space-, that they can only shrink now. Labels used to control the distribution and were the ones deciding what would be the hits. Now Internet, mp3 and the low cost to produce content have liberated Music from the tyranny of the labels. That means potentially a bigger share of (smaller) revenues to artists, and huge variety and choice for the user.</p> <p>http://tech-talk.biz/2008/04/11/bubbles-recession-and-music-industry/</p> Music industry can only shrink.

I resort to buying Japanese iTunes pre-paid card and using it to download music. I have seen people buying iTunes cards in Thailand and Indonesia. That means there is some demand for digital downloads.</p> I want to buy digital music here in South East Asia. I resort to buying Japanese iTunes pre-paid card and using it to download music.
