Dont need the media to tell of about over saturation in the music industry. the amount of requests ive had to except from musicians, i accept simply cos i havent got the chance to listen to them. but when i do, 3 quaters of friends will most likely be gone... if i hear another remake or remix or both in 1 song.
aaarrgghh!
 

Hey nice article! We can't live without music anymore guys. Music enhances & magnify what we feel. Much like drugs. As for the saturation of music. Yes there is too much already. The Problem is when anything is too much, it becomes common, when it become common, it loses it's charm eventually. As if everything you hear on the radio starts sounding the same.


Every now & then I make it a point to be completely unplugged from music. The Magic of Music is it's rarity... and I don't want to lose that feeling when I listen to music
 

I personally dont think its over saturation but I do support my friend Wreckless Erics campaign with the Noise Abatement Society.
As a professinal musician he would like to see music banned as noise where it is used simply as a filler sound - supermarkets , lifts , airport lounges , telephone waiting he also does not want his music used in these contexts I think he is right

With regard to over saturation no its always been there you can just access easier - but you can still only listen to the same amount there are only 60 minutes in an hour
 
 

A very good point. I would think that it truly is an accessibility thing.

 
 

I think that article is interesting, but ultimately inaccurate. We make the decision to put on our headphones, to turn on our speakers, and to listen to our cds. Music has so many functions for me, I don't understand this concept of a passive listener. It can pull me out of a mood, or help me dive deeper into it. It can verbalize the thoughts and feelings that I can't. Music inspires me to create other things, to explore my own mind, to definte the world around me. It keeps loneliness at bay--when someone is singing songs that could be about your own life, it's hard to feel alone. It helps me feel whole, and in a world where everyone runs around feeling crazy and damaged all the time, how can that possibly be a bad thing? I don't think there can ever be too much music, because there are so many people in the world. My favorite thing to do is put my zune on shuffle. I download massive quantities of music, which I will never be able to listen to in it's entirety, but I shuffle through, song by song, and sometimes, there is a song that is a perfect anthem for that moment, where everything falls together. If we didn't have this "oversaturation" of music, I couldn't experience that moment of completeness.
