Where’s it all heading?
Four news items over a couple of days.
1. Motorola puts iTunes on mobiles
2. Real’s store will sell files that will work on the iPod
3. Woolworths to launch a digital music download service (Music Week, sorry, no story link, but trust me..)
4. iTunes sorts out rights deal with indies
I don’t want to go into too much detail on this, but does this mean that
- Anyone who wants to set up shop is going to be selling every bit of music ever created (rights resolved/ white label offerings/ all music digitised).
- Everything is going to be able to be played on every device. (or at the very least there will be hundreds of different suppliers for every device)
- You’re going to be able to buy/ download whatever music you wnat wherever you are through your mobile or some such wirelessly connected device.
Sounds like fun.
