One in 20 downloads music, shuns stores - U.S. poll
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A study released Thursday showed that 5.5 percent of
Americans aged 16 to 40 have not purchased a single music CD or cassette in
the past year but have been actively downloading music from the Internet.
The survey, conducted by Edison Media Research for the radio and music trade
publication Records & Radio, was one of the first attempts to quantify the

have had on sales of recorded music and, more generally, to show how the
Internet is changing music listening habits.
