It's pretty much revolutionising the way we listen to music in the UK, through being able to create and share playlists, and stream full tracks or albums at leisure. And apparently an app is being developed for the iPhone, which means listeners will be able to use it on the move. It's only a matter of time until a pocket Spotify player (or something similar) is created, which will mean constant streaming – leaving downloads redundant. Which is a scary proposition for an industry that's only a few years old! Good point about Spotify from Matt.

Esp. with platforms like Hulu and in the U.K. Spotify. I wonder if the future of artist and creative type lies more in licensing rather than consumer markets. I think you should really take a look at Spotify and factor that into this post. It's a game changer. I'll email you how to login. I do think ownership is on it’s last throws.
