not to play devil's advocate, but digital distribution isn't killing anything. at this point it's the direction the industry is taking, and labels/artists are just adapting to the changing marketplace. if you don't want to release mp3s, more power to you. but if you do, i don't see how it's harming the marketplace.

i don't miss lugging around those heavy record crates that's for sure. there are plenty of DJs who spin digital and this isn't a direct indicator of their skills. i've seen plenty of DJs who equally suck regardless of their chosen medium to deliver the music.
