THE DIGITAL MUSIC BUSINESS IN 2010

Lots happened in 2009, but it wasn’t a vintage year for digital music (in fact, it was the year digital music lost the digital buzz to e-readers). All in all I’d give 2009 a 6 out of 10, with the launch of Spotify accounting for at least couple of those points. Here are five of biggest disappointments of the year:
1. Comes With Music underwhelmed (as did Play Now plus)
2. ISP services didn’t get off the ground (including unlimited MP3’s nearly-but-not-quite moment)
3. Apple’s new killer music format was….oh, iTunes albums
4. imeem gave a master class in how not to make money from social music
5. The big boys (MySpace, Apple) snapped up the innovative competition (Lala, iLike, imeem)

So will be 2010 be any different? [Read More]
