  5. Research Research has issued its five-year digital-music forecast for 2004. The report claims that the U.S. digital-music market will nearly triple this year but says the music industry as a whole will have trouble matching the peak revenues achieved in 1999.

  6. Jupiter Research, the top entertainment industry research firm, predicts the digital music download and subscription market will hit $80 million this year and climb to $4.6 billion in 2008. That's still a sliver of the $35 billion industry. "We have a long way to go," Jupiter's Card says. What You Should Know Apple’s iTunes has sold over 100 million songs Real Network streams 1.5 million songs a day MusicMatch is the most listened to Radio station OD2 is the largest digital distributor in the world

  7. MusicMatch Is January’s Top Non-Commercial Internet Broadcaster According to Arbitron Internet Broadcast Ratings, MUSICMATCH was the top non-commercial Internet Broadcaster with 9,721,080 hours of Total Time Spent Listening (TTSL) for January. MUSICMATCH Artist Match was the top non-commercial Internet Broadcast Station with 3,636,655 hours of TTSL. Virgin Radio was ranked as the highest commercial Internet Broadcast Station with 1,330,522 hours of TTSL. The top content delivery networks (CDN) were Live365 with 11,790,004 hours of TTSL and StreamGuys with 2,553,872 hours of TTSL. The Total Time Spent Listening for these Content Delivery Networks is the sum of all tuning to stations streamed by the CDN, including commercial and non-commercial stations.

  8. Napster Sells five million songs. Music download service Napster says it has sold more than five million songs since relaunching as a legitimate, paid-for service last October. Napster was once the biggest thorn in the music industry's side, allowing fans to share copied songs without paying artists or record companies. But it has reinvented itself as a site for users to pay for songs and albums. Napster remains behind market leader Apple iTunes, which reported over 30 million download sales last month. Chief executive Chris Gorog said the "important milestone is a testament to the quality of the Napster experience".

  9. Sony Connect LOS ANGELES ﾑ Sony (SNE) aims to take on industry leader Apple (AAPL) starting Tuesday with an online music service whose songs will play only on Sony products.Internet analysts are scratching their heads, especially because the digital download service ﾑ called Connect ﾑ is geared toward supporting Sony's MiniDisc, a 13-year-old format that has never hit big. Sony says it has sold about 2.5 million Connect-compatible devices. By taking on industry leader Apple, Sony will compete with a company that has sold 3 million iPods and 70 million songs at its iTunes Music Store, which celebrated its first anniversary last week. Other digital music competitors: Wal-Mart, MusicMatch, Napster and MusicNow.

  10. ITunes cellphone planned for 2005 First there was the ring tone. Then the camera. Now the music player. In its relentless push to add features to cellphones, the wireless industry is preparing to make affordable new phones that can store and play full-length downloaded music files. Motorola's recent announcement that it is working with Apple Computer to make phones that can store and play iTunes music files is the first major indication that the convergence of the portable music player and the inexpensive cellphone is occurring. The Motorola music phone will be on the market next year. Under the Apple-Motorola agreement, iTunes users will be able to transfer songs stored on their PCs or Macs to their cellphones using a cable or Bluetooth wireless connection. The phones will hold anywhere from half a dozen to a few dozen songs depending on the model, and could come with a variety of related features, including the added ability to display music videos and information about the artist.

  11. Apple iTunes catalogue tops 1m Apple's iTunes Music Store now offers over one million songs, though while the company's UK arm was quick to trumpet the passing of that particular milestone today, it only applies to the US store.Still, it's an impressive target, and we eagerly await the addition of sufficient songs to take the UK, French and German stores past that point, particularly now that the company has settled its differences with key European independent labels. Apple isn't the first online music provider to pass the million-song mark - its mobile music rival, Loudeye, announced a similarly extensive track listing when it acquired ITMS' European rival, OD2, in June.

  12. Mobile ringtone sales boom[Downloading a special ringtone on your mobile phone so that it plays a tiny rendition of a pop song instead of ringing is a booming market. Ringtone sales were at $3.5 billion worldwide last year, up 40% from 2002, according to ARC Group consultants. ﾊ Europe and Asia lead the way, but in America the Yankee Group, another consultancy, raised its estimate of last yearﾕs ringtone sales from $50 million to $80 million. Sales of ringtones, costing up to $4 each, have overtaken CD singles. The appeal of ringtones, to teenagers in particular, is that they act as a fashion statement. Sound quality is improving fast: latest mobiles support polyphonic playback and allow actual music clips, called true tones, to be used as ringtones. Already in the US, Verizon Wireless has partnered with BMG and EMI. In Europe, T-Mobile is collaborating with Universal and Sony. ﾊ The success of true tones will give record labels and operators a larger slice of the market. Will it also spawn an entirely new, far bigger, market for mobile-music downloads? It is not a big leap to downloading a whole song for playback through headphones? In a couple of years ﾑ as new 3G networks are switched on, mobiles get smarter and music playback is more common ﾑ there may be a thriving market in music downloads to handsets that are also personal jukeboxes. Martin Fabel, analyst at AT Kearney, says mobile downloads could account for 20-30% of music sales by 2006.

  13. The end of physical media is nearing. In an effort to fight file-sharing piracy, music and movie companies will embrace legitimate downloading and streaming services, creating a new era of media distribution. According to "From Discs To Downloads," a new report from Forrester Research, Inc. ( FORR ), 32 percent of Americans CDs. In five years, 37 percent of music sales will come from LEGAL downloads. • Music sales will increase by more than half a billion dollars in 2004 thanks to online revenues. As consumers become more comfortable with online alternatives, subscription services will take off. • New York Times 9/4/03 engage in music downloading; half of those admit to buying fewer • “CD singles to go 'in three years” • CD singles will be phased out in the US within three years, according to a leading chart expert. • Technology Today 2/23/04 Current Industry Status

  14. Online Music Market Online Music Market Apple’s iTunes has sold over 100 million downloads. Real Network streams 1.5 million content streams a day. Online music and entertainment sales estimated to reach $250 million in 2004. Room for growth: $250 million represents only 2% of $11.2 billion in 2003 CD sales.

  15. Sturfing the Internet Fifty Percent of Workers Spend Nine Days a Year on Personal Surfing at Work According to a new Web usage survey conducted by Cerberian Inc., and SonicWALL, more than 75 percent of people at work have accidentally visited a pornographic Web site, and 15 percent have visited such sites more than 10 times. The survey also reported that 50 percent of respondents spent more than 10 percent of their time at work surfing the Web for personal reasons, which is roughly equal to four hours per week, or nearly nine days a year.

  16. Online Music Market Online customers buy broader range of music, than physical store customers. 75% of paid downloads are not in Billboard’s Top 200. 60% of paid downloads are “catalog” (older) tracks. 63% of CDs sold in physical stores are new releases

  17. African Americans and the Internet African Americans are active online consumers, purchasing more clothing/apparel online (48% vs.. 41%) and more music/videos (44% vs.. 39%) than the general online market. African Americans listen to music online and watch videos more than the general online market. Source: Digital Marketing Services Inc.

  18. In August 2001, African Americans spent more than nine hours and 41 minutes surfing the Web, spiking 22 percent from the previous year. • MORE THAN 10 MILLION AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE ONLINE, • ACCORDING TO NIELSEN//NETRATINGS • The African American Internet population spent a total of 44 hours on the Web, initiated 42 sessions, and viewed 1,186 pages online in January 2003.
