I appreciate the feedback.

While I'm a big music fan, I'm not the absolutist you are. I prefer mass selection over a few HD-quality CDs. I've found that most of my clients feel the same way. Since I make my living by selling and installing residential technology solutions, I need "tools" that fit the masses in addition to the few that are absolutist.

In regards to the small number of people using the PC for music, I absolutely disagree. The millions of iPods and other MP3 players sold in the US substantiates this. Most of my clients have multiroom audio systems and like the ability to choose different sources (DirecTV/Comcast MusicChoice, XM/Sirius Radio, AM/FM radio, etc.). Thus, I never meant to imply that Rhapsody was the end-all, be-all of music content. As the subject reads, "is the concept of OWNING/BUYING music dead?"
