Years ago, if you want to listen to music performed by your favourite singers, you needed to go to the physical CD store to buy an audio CD. However, those standard CDs can only hold up to 70 minutes (around 700MB of data), which is roughly 15 songs. With the limitation of storage capacity, you need to buy a number of CDs for a large music collection, while it is not practical to carry your entire music collection with you and have those CDs occupying the space. Besides, you may pay for a hundred dollars and pick up an album just to get one or two songs that you want, and you may not be aware of the rest of the songs. What a waste of money!
Since the last decade, sales of recorded music have dropped dramatically, while digital music has increased as importance. Nowadays, digital music can generate about $2 billion revenue per year, while study forecasts it will hit $5.34 billion by 2012, accounting for 80% of music industry revenue. Thanks for the increasing popularity of the Internet and the low distribution cost of digital music compared to traditional album as there is no shipping cost, no packaging cost and no retail cost required. To cater to the increased consumer demand, there are over 500 online music stores from across 40 countries worldwide selling music online.
