I agree with Mike S. that the DRM is killing new formats. I don't buy new songs off iTunes or Napster. Not because I can download them for free (I stopped doing that a few years back), but because I don't understand the copyright protection well enough to know if the song I pay $1 for will play on my iPod or if I can copy it to CD and take it home to my PC there. I am sure there are more people like myself that would spend the money if I knew the song was going to play whereever I want to use it.
