I'd love to buy music in a record shop, but I am living in a rural area and there aren't really any options. There are small sections in electronics stores, but they only offer popular albums and no Vinyls or singles. And the shopping atmosphere isn't really great either. Therefore, although I really prefer buying music in person as it is a much more intense experience, in most cases buying online is the only option (or driving 100km to the next big city).
Thus I am quite thankful that nowadays you can get almost every music release regardless of your local supply. It may be a little boring to just click a button, but it helps people in rural areas not stay behind the city people all the time.

Word. Even though it has its downside, online offer has broadened my range of options so much I don't miss older times at all. If I had to choose between the survival of one or the other I'd have to say goodbye indies.
Different worlds I guess.
