another major difference, as noted in the article, is that emusic is selling largely independent music, while the UK-based study was apparently looking at a venue offering music from the “majors.” hope for indie music models?

Any chance of this mix becoming available in a higher bitrate, for purchase or otherwise?

interesting -what a huge difference btwn the various stats! eMusic is subscription-based, which encourages ppl to dwnld mp3s they might not otherwise buy directly from regular sites — folks will get to the end of the month, then realize they’ve got X downloads left and take more chances.

re: that study supposedly debunking the "long tail" theory, emusic says it's wrong --

"Approximately 75 percent of eMusic tracks sold at least once during 2008 based on a recent analysis of worldwide sales data," says an announcement detailing eMusic's 2008 sales. "This finding supports the existence of retail's 'long tail' and contradicts a November 2008 study released by British licensing body MCPS-PRS. That study claimed that of the 13 million songs on the internet, ten million did not sell a single copy."

on the post scarcity tip, i want musicians to be able to stay musicians forever.

on that note i would be VERY interested to see what you think about this idea”…

it might not be a panacea, but might be a band-aid until business models catch up.

Loved this music ever since hearing ‘Lisandro’s Cumbia’ compilation on cassette as a kid so its great to hear this mix on mainstream radio, excellent work!
