Overall agreed. I gasped a little at the suggestion of redistribution of wealth (couldn’t we just redistribute 168 flavours of salad dressing instead?)…

It has actually made me a little happier as an artist (Eugenia… I’m on iTunes if ever you go on another spree ) …allow me to explain:

The thought of being this small fish in this immense ocean of talent was always daunting… on its own. The question “why don’t more people buy more of my music” was always echoing in the distance. What Barry Schwartz has done was put me in the head of the consumer far beyond just thinking about the lack of “filters” in this new music industry. It put me on the other side of that thought in the sense of making the sales that I do get just that much more special not only in terms of someone on the other side of the globe choosing to buy above of all others but that, faced with these millions of choices, they actually made one and it was me.

Thanks for posting this. Barry Schwartz’ book is on my Christmas wish list.

There is definitely over-saturation in the market right now.

However, there’s also consumption. I have personally spent over $1100 on iTunes in the last 9 months for music alone. Only for a few of these records I have felt that I shouldn’t have bought. I have put a break on my purchases since though.
