MSH poll results: Streaming music vs CD sales at shows?

Last week we published this post that discussed the idea of fans (maybe one day) preferring to stream your music from services like Spotify & Pandora instead of buying CDs at your shows.

We wanted to know that as a grassroots touring musician, who might depend on the sale of CDs at shows, does this idea bother you.

Inspired by this we published a poll to ask the question: “Are you concerned that more fans will prefer to use music streaming services rather than buying CDs at your live shows?”.

We had 84 respondents and these are the results:

64% No (54 Votes)
26% Yes (22 Votes)
10% Not Sure (8 Votes)

Interesting to see that the majority did not see this as being a problem. Thanks to everyone who voted, shared and left comments.
