Starbucks impact on Music

Starbucks has been able to make cd's sell in large numbers by playing the music in their stores , such as Ray Charles . Starbucks resently has decided to go from main stream music and enter the open and coming musicians. Starbucks have 4,400 stores where people can hear these musicians and buy there cds. While eventualy the cd's are sold in other music stores, starbucks still gets a profit of what the cd sells. Personally, I think that starbucks has the ablitly to launch some musicians careers but they have to be carefull which musicans they pick because these new groups may not have main stream appeal.
