  9. The Power Behind Online Music Web: Genre-specific:

  10. What the Industry is Saying Phil Leigh, Raymond James & Associates “Our research indicates the major reason that dial-up customers fail to pay-up for to high-speed access is because of a lack of compelling content. In our analysis, a music subscription service is likely to be the first major step in providing such content.” -- July 3, 2002 Cindy Wolf, In-Stat “Music services could turn into an app that drives people to want broadband access…former Napster users, for example. ISPs look for long-term customers and people who use a service like RHAPSODY are [online] a lot.…They’re not likely to switch providers.” -- July 5, 2002 USA Today “3 1/2 stars (out of four). This independent offering easily is the best of the paid online services in terms of consumer friendliness, overall song selection, sonic quality and editorial content.” -- June 25, 2002
