been away for a bit...
nothing jumping out as all that earth shattering here in the New Year...then again, it's almost February so we should assume that the race to be out there with something new and exciting has subsided (at least for Q1).
i did find the NYT piece today about Internet distribution of music sans copyright restrictions to be interesting. actually pretty amazing to think about the short amount of time it has taken to essentially deconstruct the business model with respect to music distribution. i can't help but get a little weepy and overcome with nostaglia everytime i drive by a shuttered TowerRecords storefront.
but then again, i get excited to think about the day when all i have to do to get the music i want is be willing to endure a couple of ads -- either on the site where i download my songs or in a pre-roll audio ad when i fire up my iPod. makes me think that the $4m that Kiptronic raised is actually a pretty good bet given the move to digital music service models have the potential of creating demand for refreshed audio ads hooked in to the music you download for free.
