Going into RT is an incredible experience of its own that many of the young music listeners have never had (RT isn't a worldwide chain). One hope is that leaders like RT will be able to create a similarly meaningful experience online which while naturally being different will also be interesting. A place like GEMM is a good example, though I will agree it needs some work.

I'm sure I'm not alone. As you say, it's all about convenience, but also that I generally discover music online - or at the very least, find out the track name by Googling the lyrics. Literally a few seconds later, the album's either on my Amazon wishlist or on its way. I can’t remember the last time I bought something from a “real” record shop. I’m sure I’m not alone.
