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.
