Post Subject: The "Promise"Posted by Paul S on: 12/29/2019
One thing I have noticed is that most of the effort for many years has gone to "marketing", and "they" have gotten better at it with the passage of time, at least broadly speaking. At that same time the size of "The Audience" has grown it has also become more fragmented, with more "groups" that are off doing and listening to things I don't care about, often using platforms and playback media and hardware that I may never explore. By this I mean to say, while there is more than ever "going on" there might be even less going on that's of interest to me, personally. In fact, I'm pretty sure this is the case. This could all turn on a dime if I were to hear something that moved me from a streaming system, with a reasonable promise of more to come if I got up to speed. But this has simply not happened for me, and to date I remain stuck with LPs and a few CDs for my "serious" listening. Does this mean that most of the past 50 or 60 years have been "misspent" by the "music delivery" industry? It appears to mean just that, at least for me, in terms of "Industry Guided", deliverable Music.
