Not Just Kids Looking For Downloadable Music

from the fun-for-all-ages dept

New studies are showing that it’s not just crazy teenagers and college students who are looking for music online. It’s people of all ages. This is important, because older users are apparently a lot more likely to pay for downloadable tunes. Of course, I don’t know how sustainable a plan that is because eventually those younger “freeloaders” are going to be older. The music industry really needs to figure out a way to get its act together, and to be honest, I don’t think they care much about older users even if they are willing to pay.
