Now we have instant music, and just like instant coffee, most of it is crap. Most of those internet radio sites are loaded with just as much advertising as MTV. Anyway the discussion was not about how things are consumed but how they are perceived. And no, it's not the same thing.
Not sure where you're going with this. I don't miss spending wads of cash on things I have to work out how to store, and I strive to think of unfamiliar music in terms of whether I'd like to hear it again, not whether it's good or bad. And when you subscribe to internet radio, the adverts go away.
