I believe digital music changed the way we obtain any information. How Music Got Free helped me realize that the compression we’ve talked about is due to digital music and the way we obtain and listen to it. “Most listeners didn’t care about quality, and the obsession with perfect sound forever was an early indicator that the music industry didn’t understand its customers” (Witt). Although, Witt argues that the music industry created this problem (which is totally true) we have adapted to the life of digitized information. I listened to the free audio version of this book, do I feel terrible now that I know what the book is about? Yes, but digital music was the turning point for which we became forever intertwined with the world wide web.
