When asked to predict what would happen to music distribution in the next 5 years, both stated that CDs, DVDs and SACD's will be gone, as physical distribution of binary data doesn't make any sense. Byrne stated that vinyl will hang on as a "fetishist" format, but streaming/online will be the only format to matter. No mention of hi-res, and Byrne laughed at the idea that there would be significant quality differences between the different streaming services, again referring back to the smartphone speaker of his daughter.
Bit of a problem looming for the 60% of the world without internet access then.
As soon as it gets misty we struggle even here in Essex to stream Spotify.
