      Will Music Sales Be Profitable for Record Companies in Ten Years?
      As others have said above, physical music sales may not exist!!! There are a growing number of 'smart' people in the music industry (esp indie) that are giving away their music for 'free' - whether that's via a "promo download card" (I've seen a number of these handed out that came from discrevolt.com), on their myspace, personal website or blog.

      The the new model for artists will be: give my recorded music to fans for free and let them support me in other ways (coming to my show, buying my merch, etc.)

      The new model for labels will be that of a "digital label" whereby the "label" is used by the musician (that's a change!) to promote its music through the web.

      There are, however, still plenty of profit avenues (think ad revenue) in the above model. Some smart people who are not afraid of change will make some serious money in the near future in the music industry.
