For example, I feel like I don't need to "own" a man because I can do the equivalent of "streaming" one. It's scary!!

How is the emotional investment is changing with the shift from physical to digital? Is there anything different at all when teenagers experience music minus two senses (i.e. touch and see of the physical CD or vinyl?

There are two reasons why possessing your own mp3 files are still important- - to provide music on the move (obviously). the alternative: (eg) premium spotify + data charges + suitable phone is beyond their means. - sharing. if they go to a friends house it is easy to plug their mp3 player into local docking station/speakers and play it. It's far easier than any alternative. I think an interesting challenge is going to be controlling the content we all create on the cloud. Who owns my spotify playlists? Can I transfer them to napster if I want to ? My teenage kids possess no music at all in physical form (ie CD). that idea is def. dead.
