not everyone is obsessed with getting something for nothing; time, convenience and quality are more important to many people.

I agree. The savviest p2p users might well prefer to get it all for free but I see no reason why the comfort & convenience seeking masses wouldn't pay something for a quality service with no artificial burn limitations etc.
I also believe that people would be willing to buy much more CDs if the price was really competitive with the p2p way of getting things. 2-3 USD per CD with free sampling from websites would probably boost CD sales into a new renaissance, and even the less known artists would sell well with those prices.
