More than 66% of online music shoppers have not paid for and would not expect to pay for digital music downloads, according to a survey from market researcher Greenfield Online.
The poll sampled 5,200 people who have shopped for music online.
In addition, 45% of respondents have downloaded music from the Internet. The MP3.com Web site, for example, was visited by 20% of the online music shoppers in the study, up slightly from the first such study last August. Also, MP3 music files now have nearly the same penetration level (22%) as music videos (23%).
More than half of respondents (55%) shopped for music online and then purchased offline, while 53% shopped for and purchased music online in the past 90 days.
