It seems that the time has come to enter a new era of portable music. Cd's are a thing of the past, as people are more openly embracing downloaded digital media and using devices like the ipod. Let's take it further.
Instead of an artist releasing a new album every year or so, why not embrace a more constant way of releasing new material. As more and more people have the ability to record from home, and many artists setting up their own personal studios, it seems a better idea to release a few new songs every couple of months by way of itunes or some other online service.
This would allow a relative constant hype for a band, without the former downtime associated with having to wait a year for new material, which can seem like an eternity if your favorite band's latest album is garbage.
Cd's are wasteful and expensive. And a constant flow of music from artists throughout the year seems a much better alternative.
