Funny this is exactly how I use Youtube and Last.fm... Search for an artist and see what "others" come along with them. AND if I'm in transit and not on a network... I have more then enough mp3 songs to skip through to match the mood of the moment.

The Future of Music - as shown on Korea? Very interesting feature at Portfolio.com Future Pop by Jeff Yang Mar 27 2008: CDs are dead, and Korean impresario Jin-Young Park knows it. American music labels could learn a thing or two from the model he's built in South Korea. Highlights "In meetings with music labels here, they talk to me about releasing albums," says Park. "They can't accept that there's no such thing anymore. Where I come from, CDs are nothing—they're just souvenirs. I tell them, 'Wake up!'" "In South Korea, where Park is building a new kind of music-business model, 80 percent of households have a broadband connection; downloads via both PCs and cell phones make up an overwhelming share of the nation's music market. Download revenue there has soared 422 percent since 2000, to $366 million, while CD sales have declined 83 percent over the same period to just $70 million in 2007...." Read this and say YES: "It's the artist as brand: In Korea, consumers don't buy music; they buy a product relationship that reaches across every media platform and entertainment genre..." "Fans of the group can buy tickets for their live concerts at $110 a pop; purchase a growing array of their merchandise (the names and faces of top K-pop stars adorn everything from $5 phone cards to $500 cell phones and music players); download ringtones featuring their songs ($2); and even make bids on a charity auction for a dinner date with the girls on the popular social-networking site CyWorld (five fans paid between $3,800 and $6,000 for the privilege last year). And if all that's not enough, fans can always tune in to the Wonder Girls' reality TV series, now in its third season as one of MTV Korea's top-rated programs..."

Vodafone biggest seller of music singles in NZ (via NZ Herald) - Music THE SERVICE Lots of good stuff in here: Vodafone biggest seller of music singles in NZ - 11 Apr 2008 - NZ Herald: Technology News, views and comment from New Zealand and the World. Mr Donoghue said companies offering digital music sales were trying to combat people "stealing" music from free websites such as LimeWire and BitTorrent. "What we're all doing is looking for the model where it's (music) at the right price, where people don't need to steal it. Because, I think people feel slightly guilty about it (stealing), but unless there's something done to curb the stealing I think it's going to have a massive effect on the industry." "My parents grew up with vinyl, I grew up with CDs and my kids will grow up with music on their mobile phones and on their iPods. That's just the evolution of it. And then music will become something that we consume like we consume power or broadband, it's going to become a service."
