Napster was neat for consumers and still MP3 file sharing is the word, that shakes the record industry.

Everyone has his winamp and a 3 gig mp3 storage at myplay, what is basically the same thing like the old tapeswapping.

And still, no Cassettes and no CD writers have destroyed the music industry although billions of fans have been exchanging their music this way.

"Escape the Matrix" is the future at rapstation.com, where things run different. Record labels can only survive in the long run with a strong foot on the web and more competitive offers like from Apple.
