| Summary: "The Future Of The Music Market" looks at what is driving the slump in music sales. It draws on data from more than 60 countries around the world, examining a selection of markets with very different experiences of economic growth, file sharing, CD pricing and music quality. Based on this analysis, the report looks at how various factors have affected music sales in the past, and how the factors are likely to affect US music sales in the future. It examines what can be done to reverse the decline, and asks what impact the changing CD market will have on the online music sector. |

- What impact has peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing had on US CD purchases over the last three years?

- How will US music sales move over the next two years?
- How will record label revenues from CDs be affected?
- What can be done to maximize US music sales?
