Agree that this is another factor in the cascading calamity. I hear something on the radio that I like, but then I can never find out who the artist is, or what was the name of the song.
Impossible to find out = not likely to try and buy it.
When I hear a song on the radio I really like, I try and remember a line of lyrics and then I type the line into Google. I've used this method countless times to discern the title and artist.
