There is no question that the "future" of music is neither CD nor radio, but streaming... all of the music whatever you want to listen to will be there, waiting for your command... that's how most folks who listen to music do it nowadays.

(I oversee a three-service public radio network that includes a classical music service and a new & independent music service, so I see on a weekly basis that hundreds of thousands of people respond to the music we provide and make it a part of their daily life. Hard not to be optimistic.)
If hundreds of thousands of people are receptive to such music, then subsets of these persons could be potential customer bases who could purchase albums (classical, soundtracks, etc.).
Yet, it seems this doesn't happen on any significant scale.
Music Box, Quartet, Kronos, Saimel, Alhambra & others are pressing only 300 copies of their albums and most of these do not sell out.
Why is this so?
Hundreds of thousands of folks could be channeled toward & enticed by this music ... is there any way we can make this happen?
It's a good question, Zardoz, I wish I had a better answer. In my experience, a few folks collect a lot of music, and most folks collect a little and otherwise use easier ways to get music, and typically music that is already curated for them, whether radio or streaming or whatever. Most people just are not motivated to build their own personal music collections.
