Synopsis

Abstract

This IDC study presents data and analysis from IDC's 2004 Consumer Markets: Audio Survey. The document provides an examination of survey responses related to digital audio technology ownership, usage, awareness, and purchase intention. Topics covered include household music expenditures, preferred recorded music formats, CD and PC-based music file ownership, PC-based music consumption, and paid and free online music services. It also includes an evaluation of responses regarding ownership, awareness, and purchase intention for portable, home, and automotive CD players, multichannel audio devices, compressed audio players, and terrestrial and satellite digital radio receivers.

These survey findings suggest that, today, ownership of and intention to purchase emerging audio technologies ? even those that have received considerable media attention in recent years, such as paid music service providers and portable compressed audio players ? are very small in comparison with ownership of and intention to purchase CD players and CDs. Among those who are using new audio technologies, adoption varies widely depending on demographics and other variables.

"The transition from older to newer audio technologies is proceeding gradually. U.S. music consumers are slowly adopting new digital audio technologies, including paid music service providers and portable MP3 players, yet they continue to depend on the tried and true, namely CDs and FM radio." ? Susan Kevorkian, senior analyst, Consumer Markets: Audio
