Well, according to sources, we'd get LG5 this year, but reality is a different story. :green:

Actually according to sources LG5 will be available next year. Wasn't it Gaga herself that said LG5 would be this year? I'm now confused about who said what. :huh:

Pfftt in 20 more years streaming will be dead too!

Instead, we'll have ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING! Yay! Isn't that great? In fact, all of my music is already illegally downloaded...

That's probably true. It does look like every 10 to 15 years the music industry shifts the way it makes music available for consumers.

50's - 60's Vinyl 

70's - Vinyl & Eight Track

80's Vinyl & Cassette

90's Cassette & CD

00's CD and Digital Download 

10's Digital Downloads and Streaming

20's Streaming & ??? (a free option like Anti) :huh:

I hate streaming music. I don't wanna waste data traffic every time I want to listen to a song. And I think the possibility to choose is always the better option so, why should we only stream music when we can easily download it or vice versa? IMO it would only bring more people to illegally download music.

Streaming music isn't always streaming. All streaming services offer you the ability to download the track to your phone so you can listen to it offline. You don't have to stream it all the time.

Okay, so if you download it you don't stream it. Then maybe they will simply put the two things together, for example get rid of iTunes and keep Apple Music as a platform where thanks to a membership you can stream and download your music. Plus, lets say Apple puts an end to iTunes, it's not like iTunes is the only digital music seller, it's only the most known.

it has nothing to do with the functionality of the CD. it's about owning a physical piece of art of someone you admire so much while also being a symbol of support.

I've never really understood this feeling. 

To me it's just all music files. One stored on a CD, the other downloaded on a device. 

For me it's about what's more convenient. And that's downloading onto my device to me :shrug:
