I will pay for the following article How Is the Music Industry Being Affected by iTunes. The work is to be 7 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. The fact is that the Internet has added a new dimension to the music industry business. According to Joshua Friedlander, vice-president of RIAA, ‘There have been a lot of changes over the past 10 years, in which the industry is adapting to consumer demands of how they listen to music, when and where, and we’ve had some growing pains in terms of monetizing those changes’ (Stolpmann 7).

Gone are the days when people used to buy cassettes or records of their favorite artists. They were replaced by CDs and DVDs however now these are also growing redundant as people are switching to downloading or buying music albums or songs online. iTunes and other services such as Amazon MP3, Napster, Zune Marketplace and Rhapsody have changed the landscape of the music industry, however, in my opinion, the music industry was on a decline before these services emerged and their impact with regards to providing relief to the industry has not been very significant (though I agree that the launch of such services is a step in the right direction for the industry).

Although I agree that instead of buying the whole CD just for one song people nowadays prefer buying their favorite single. Previously people were forced to buy the whole album of a particular artist or band on CD if they liked a particular song however now people have the choice of buying only the song they prefer instead of the whole album. This means that people save on their cost and can buy many more such singles instead of wasting their money on just a single album, whose songs they will hardly listen to except for that one song. Hence services like Amazon and iTunes allow people to choose amongst various songs from a plethora of songs in their database. With services such as iTunes, music has become increasingly accessible for consumers.
