YouTube #1 for Music Listening Among Teens; Radio Still #1 for Music Discovery

Sound quality's horrible, but when have most teens ever cared about sound quality? Certainly not when they were buying pre-recorded cassettes to play on their Walkmans.

Well, you care about sound quality, but you still listen to Youtube

Saying most teens don't care about sound quality might be using a too big of a brush. I think they can distinguish between lo-fi and hi-fi like when we were teenagers, and the numbers-36% of teens buying CD and 51% buying digital download-might be an indication of that.

My cellphone is also an MP3 player (LG800) and with right headphone and hi bit MP3, the sound qualty is pretty darn good. So can't imagine teens not distinguising between high quality digital downloads and Youtube as to not care about the sound quality.
