Informational Text:
People used to go to a music store to purchase their
favorite song. They would drive to the store, select a
compact disc (CD) by their artist of choice, and
purchase the CD at the cash register. This method has
been declining for years. Now music fans can shop on
the Internet in virtual music stores. There, they can
easily purchase and download songs and albums. This
method has become so popular that over 50 percent of
all music purchases are now done online. Millions of
dollars worth of music are purchased on laptops, digital
music players, and phones.
