Good article. Reminded me of when I bought my first i-pod in 2007. Loaded all my favourite songs onto it, plugged it into the car stereo and after about three songs found myself reaching to change the radio station, only to remember it was my own "favourite" music I was listening to.
Owned music is not a replacement for radio.
