Don't the two go hand in hand? Once someone "acquires" a new track via file-sharing it seems like they would also want to listen to that same track in his or her car, stereo, etc.
Another interesting development that is occuring is where swappers upload not only all of the track of a newly released CD, but also a copy of the Cover Art. That way file-sharers can download a copy of the entire album. They can print the cover art and then use scissors to trim it to fit into a jewel case, which easily snap apart and back together again to accomodate the process.
