It makes sense. Why download music anymore? There are so many good streaming services out there like Pandora and Spotify that downloading and owning music is almost a waste of time. I have Pandora on my computer and phone. So when I workout, I can turn on my favorite radio station and listen rather than creating a playlist on my iPod. My generation grew up with CDs then when I was 18 or so, Napster changed everything and we could create ‘mix’ CDs. Next iPod allowed us to download mp3s. Now it looks as if we are moving into a generation of streaming music due to cell phone data and very available wifi. Here is a little timeline of how this all happened:<\/p>\n

1890s – Jukebox
\n1920 – radio becomes widely available with KDKA in Pittsburgh
\n1925 – records go on sale
\n1933 – FM radio
\n1964 – cassette tapes
\n1966 – 8 Track
\n1979 – Cassettes overtake 8 track and Sony Walkman introduced
\n1982 – CDs introduced and in 1988 they surpass sales of tapes
\n1990 – mp3 born
\n1995 – streaming music introduced
\n1999 – Napster
\n2000 – Pandora Radio
\n2003 – itunes
\n2008 – Spotify<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
