Surprisingly enough, iTunes sells already 10% of the music in the US, right behind WalMart (15,8%) and Best Buy (13,8%). Apple gets a 10% profit operating iTunes and proves the forecast: rain for physical retailers vs. online.
I am not surprised at all that this is happening in the US. When I was there two weeks ago, I could see how the Carnegie Mellon students were using a break to download some songs from the iTunes Store and the prices were more than reasonable… till when are we going to use those uncomfortable and unreasonable pieces of plastic called CDs? Who uses CDs? In the era of the USB, a CD is turning as obsolete as the A: diskette… (Thanks to Enrique Dans).
