I feel for them but as the music business evolves there will be winner\u00a0and losers. I believe streaming services, such as Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube\u00a0Red, will eventually have a hundred million subscribers worldwide\u2026then more money\u00a0will flow.<\/p>\n<p>I also understand that fidelity is an issue.
