The music industry is one of the world's biggest industries. It has been this way for many decades and it doesn't appear to be deteriorating. Recently people are more and more able to download music for free illegally on the Internet which is creating problems in terms of the amount of money that can be made by musical artists.
In times of old the only way in which you could acquire music was on some kind of physical hardware like a vinyl record or a record tape, but then the first changes came about when the first CD was made.
The first medium to store music digitally so that it can be stored as a file and then put onto a computer and played was of course the CD. This was then the very first steps of the birth of the mp3.
From 20 years ago the storage of music has completely changed. In the 60's you were only able to listen to your favourite music on a record player and now you can listen to it on a device no bigger than the palm of your hand. Not only can you listen to your favourite music but you can add and remove songs as and when you please.
The way in which music is now stored has not only made listening to music considerably easier, but it has also made getting hold of music considerable cheaper. Music can be bought from various websites on the Internet in a downloadable (usually mp3) format for much cheaper than you could ever buy a CD in the shops. This is because as people favour the mp3 more and more, there is less and less need to mass-produce CDs, and so the companies do not have to charge as much to cover their costs.
