It is indeed an amazing Revolution!! The digital age has been changed forever over the past three (3) years due to the emergence of NAPSTER. It would be very interesting, however, to see how consumers will respond to the launch of subscription and digital music distribution services such as MusicNet, Pressplay, streamwaves and other emerging distribution sites such as mangocity.com....Only Time will tell.
