I think we are quickly moving away from decades where people spent significant time acquiring music. My 2 terabyte music library was rendered mostly pointless after I got Spotify premium (I say mostly because some is not available on the service). The entire purpose of collecting all that music was not because I listened to many of the tracks frequently but because I wanted them playable with a click of a button if I ever desired to give them a listen. Now people can skip the collection building phase and also access their (Spotify's) entire collection anywhere and on many devices.

I don't think people that want to listen to music are going to listen to anything else. I DO believe that people who want to listen to news articles may settle for listening to music if the methods for accessing what they desire are not convienient.
