09: The Changing Face of Distribution

While much attention is paid to the growth of digital distribution, subscription models and satellite radio, the vast majority of music is still sold as physical CDs via terrestrial distribution channels. But even this area has changed with the entry of new online sources like CD Baby, Amazon, eBay, and offline places like Starbucks and Whole Foods.  How do the online and offline worlds compare? How are retail record stores changing to keep up?  Why are new players like Starbucks entering this marketplace?
