This decade will mark the begining of a bandwidth explosion. And you need to understand this to put internet music into context. With analog modems music takes five or six times more time to download than to listen to it. But now the slowest cable and dsl lines can download in real time. Eventually every PC in the world will be able to upload and download multiple music streams simultaneously. Hard drives are getting bigger exponentially. Everyone is going to get their terabite drives within the next ten years. In decades to come people won't even compress their music. Will MP3 even matter at that point?

Well for now it's just a dream, but it's going to happen in time.

geez i remember back when i got my first pc.. it had like a one or two gig hd.. now we're talking terabites, i didn't have windows.. just ms dos... none of that fancy stuff we have now, let alone any type of music file!
technology sure changes super quickly... you don't even realise the changes until they are pointed out....
