The emergence of the Internet has changed the music industry in many
             ways. The Internet has made listening and getting music more easier and
             sufficient. Now if you want o listen to songs, you can log on and just download
             whatever song you wish. Why spend money for just one song you enjoy when
             However, musicians think that this will lead to loss of money and record
             sales, but others contends it stimulates more buying. But downloading songs can
             mean far greater input from fans into what they hear. If a sample of a song is put
             out on the Internet, fans can have a say if they think it could be a "hit." As the
             article states, five years from now, one fourth of all music sales in this country will
             be online. And more than one fourth of that sum will come from listeners digitally
             downloading music rather than using the Web to order CDs. So the argument
             that the Internet will put musicians and their labels is inaccurate. I think it will help
             the music industry and the artist gain more notoriety.
             I downloading many songs from the Internet, mainly Napster and some of
             the songs I did download I went out and bought the album. If I like the artist I'm
             going to buy the album, and I think that holds true for many people. Downloading
             songs can be time consuming and sometimes difficult. Also the quality of sound
             is not the same as if buying the CD. It doesn't make you appreciate the music,
             and it is not fair to the musician if they put everything they have into and album,
             and not get paid for it. So just like everything else in life, the Internet has its good
