POPSiLike's Valuation Roller Coaster The social media player, iLike, has had a roller coaster ride in its valuation. Perhaps it has been a fun time for the customers (like me), listening and sharing their music tastes. And, perhaps it was an exciting ride for the staff, as they counted their paper money stock options. However, for the investors (e.g., Ticketmaster), who appear to be losing at least half their value, it must have felt like tossing your lunch after the worst ride at the fair.

POPS5 Music Recommendation Services I've tried Musicovery from these and it's quite good. I know people who swear by last.fm. I can't wait to try out the others (except iTunes Genius - which I refuse to use)!

POPS|\| | |/| - Trent Reznor to fans: "Thank you" I'm sure you've heard of this by now... but have you heard it yet? I've been listening to the FLAC version since Monday. &All I could possibly say is wow! . . . no *uberWow*. 'theslip' is nine inch nails latest album. But unlike 'Ghost ' nin's last four digital albums, which Trent Reznor also released online. Where as Ghost gave you the option to pay; theslip is only available for free. Than with theslip you also get all of the cover art, inserts, &etc with the downloads. Which after you download, you can do literally anything with. I'm already playing around w/remixing portions of track 7 & 9. They're my two personal faves, for the moment at least. The last difference between Ghost &theslip is the where as Ghost were only instrumentals/digital. theslip is just as lyrically intense as nin's previous halo albums. So, as always, take a few minutes or hours, depending on your bandwidth, than, what else? enjoy yourself!

POPSRIP Music Business 1.0 1876-2008 Today in New York, 500 music company executives gathered for a historic conference at which the music business as we have come to know it was declared dead. Born in 1876 with the introduction of player piano rolls, the recording industry has fallen on rough times in the face of digital competition. Consider that the following statements were made at this gathering which were uncontroversial and would have been considered heresy mere months ago: * DRM on purchased music is dead * A utility pricing model or flat-rate fee for music might be the way to go * Ad-supported streaming music sites like iMeem are legitimate players * Indie music accounts for upwards of 30 percent of music sales * Napster isn't losing $70 million per quarter (and is breaking even) * The music business is a bastion of creativity and experimentation The recording industry was 132 years old and is survived by thousands of digital music companies, independent musicians and geeks lik
