Downloading music at the coffee bar

Tech: Fast Company | Thinking Outside The Cup: “So this girl walks into a bar. She holds a tall iced coffee in one hand, and her blond hair is piled high in a ponytail, neon bikini strings peeking out from her tank top. At this bar, however, headphones hang above the stools, and computer screens are embedded in the countertop. The girl looks at the ‘bartender’ quizzically. ‘So you can burn music here and it’s, like, legal and everything?’ she asks. The bartender smiles and nods. ‘Omigod, so you have, like, every song, ever?’ Well, not every song, but quite a few: approaching 150,000 — about 20,000 albums’ worth. The girl settles onto a stool and grabs a headset, taking a long drag on the straw in her drink as she starts tapping away on a screen. ‘That’s awwwesome.’”
