Publisher Description

The record industry as we know it is dying. But the music industry is healthier and more vibrant than ever, with limitless possibilities for change and growth due to the Internet and the digitization of music.

The Future of Music will show you cool new ways to find music and connect with your favorite artists. Discover the Top-10 truths about the music business of the future and how you can benefit from the explosion in digital music, today and tomorrow.

The Future of Music punches gaping holes through the foundation of a record industry that refuses to adapt.

  • The best-selling CD of 2004 is blank and recordable.
  • Blink-182's best-selling single of all time was launched on EA's Madden 2004 video game.
  • File-sharing can be the savior of the music industry.
  • The artists are the brands, and entertainment is the main attraction.
  • Radio is no longer the primary way that people discover new music.
  • The record business is NOT the record business.

      " Introduces and explores the concept of "music like water - as a service". If you like to download music and are interested in the music industry as a business, this book is fairly interesting. Perhaps a bit too preachy and already a tad outdated it still holds up in a broad sense. "

      " I'd hear the kids talking about their CDs and their MP players and their Nintendos...so I wanted to know what it was all about. I probably should read this book again. "

      " Admittedly, this book came out whe iTunes was on the rise and P2P was on fire, but the authors' rosy and painfully optimistic hope for the future of music-for-sale seems short-sighted, now. "
