Music Sales Increase

So, music sales are up for the first time in 13 years.  Amounts to a 0.3% increase.  Small, but any upward tick is good for the industry.
But the industry could have seen this sooner had they not fought the very things that are driving these sales.

Thanks to digital and subscription sites they get their increase.  Both things record labels tried to fight for years.
I don't know what this means for physical copy buyers like myself.  I still buy CD's, but use Itunes for individual tracks. But a decrease of 5% still troubles me, even if digital is helping offset it.

We're in a new world of music buying, that's for sure.  Link below for more.
