Assuming Apple isn’t ready to walk away from whatever revenue still comes in from downloads, it is probably a matter of time before it happens. But at this point, there is still a perceived value in owning music.

That’s contrary to a report that said Apple planned to stop selling downloads in two years — or, alternately, “the next 3-4 years.”
