This article will use findings from the random digit dial phone surveys fielded by the Pew Internet & American Life Project in April and July/ August 2000 and February 2001 to depict the audience of music downloaders during Napster’s “heyday.” We begin with a brief survey of the literature related to popular music and the Internet, followed by a detailed explanation of the Pew Internet Project study’s method and findings. We conclude with a discussion of the Internet’s consequences for the music industry, music fans, and popular music studies, and compare the audiences for home taping and music downloading.
