RadioTime Wunderground: Thousands of Radio Stations - new Phone App (via Hear 2.0)

Picture_22 Mark Ramsay's blog points to a new app for the iphone, offered by Radiotime, and Weather Underground: Hear 2.0: Thousands of Radio Stations - Now on the iPhone.  So we are finally getting there: via the iPhone, Internet radio is arriving in the CAR. What will this do to 'Radio 1.0' vs Radio 2.0? Now imagine an app hat saves the streams for a few hours (see the Pioneer Inno) [*probably already exists for the jailbroken iPhones] or get a wimax chip, and we'll have 15.000+ radio online radio stations available. Get Ready + we ain't seen nothing yet.

Mark has a good audio interview on his blog post, too, with the CEO of Radiotime. 

Also - given that spoke to the Trinidad music industry just yesterday - THIS is the kind of thing you need to promote your music: make a Trini music iPhone app that provides free streams. As Mark says "A distribution channel called the iPhone"

The workshop entitled “Music2.0: The next generation and the Music Industry” is geared to address the change that is impacting the music industry universally. Changes which are as a result of the dramatic rise in the use of the Internet and other digital technologies to produce, market, distribute and access music and musical products. For those in the Music Industry, the declining sales of CDs is an example of the stark reality and repercussions of new technologies on the music industry. A lot of today’s music can be attained online at no cost. This leaves us with the question of which new models will make sure that the creator and their representatives get paid for their work" Leonhard is prepared to impart his knowledge and experience to those in attendance by focusing on a number of issues ranging from exclusive rights of authors in the new generation, revenue creation, ownership protection and using new technologies to expand economic outcomes and reach global audiences.
