I know I'll get blasted for this for one reason or another but what the hell...
Making music so widely accessible is almost a turn-off for me. There's no mystique, no feeling of discovery, no specialness. When the neighbor flying his rebel flag next door can learn about and download the same music I can, what makes my pursuit unique? Back in the day when you had to rely on 120 minutes and underground music rags to keep informed, you "discovered" bands, you fell in love with an album nobody else had heard of, and you went on a campaign to enlighten your friends.
It's too easy these days. Sorry.
