Peut-on vendre de la musique aux digital natives ? Music Web Apps. CHART OF THE DAY: The Death Of The Music Industry.
Coupables ? faux coupables ? Les vieux modèles ? The Pirate Bay set to launch The Music Bay. 22 January '11, 06:16pm Follow Some interesting news today from the beating heart of online piracy, The Pirate Bay. It seems it’s got something new and mysterious ready to launch called The Music Bay. As TorrentFreak reports, fear.themusicbay.com currently displays a blank page with a “Comming Soon” (sic) title. A Pirate Bay insider told the piracy-focused blog that “The music industry can’t even imagine what we’re planning to roll out in the coming months.
Apparently, the new site is planned to launch in time for the IFPI’s 78th birthday in April. We’re not sure exactly what The Music Bay will be, but we (and we imagine the IFPI) will be watching closely. Expect a Flood of Music Apps, Thanks to The Echo Nest’s Play.me Deal | Epicenter The Echo Nest's API offers app developers a wide range of song information -- and now, through this Play.me deal, access to music itself. Small-time music apps for smartphones and the web can now play on-demand music without signing expensive individual licensing deals thanks to one between The Echo Nest developer platform and Play.me, an on-demand music playback service partially owned by Sony Music. App developers can create music apps offering up to five hours of free on-demand music listening per week from a catalog of “nearly three million of songs,” which means your listening options will soon get a lot more interesting. Plenty of the stuff you’re looking for in these apps will be missing, but two-million-plus songs is still an awful lot of music and offers plenty of leeway for apps that do all sorts of things record labels would never think of on their own, using music that people have actually heard of.

One of the more interesting trends to emerge in the world of digital music in recent times has been that of YouTube seemingly becoming one of the most popular, perhaps even the most popular, means of experiencing music online. A recent report by Nielsen for the global music conference MIDEM reveals that listens to tracks on Youtube number three times the amount of legal downloads – a statistic which is likely to be raising a few eyebrows in the music industry right now.
Here’s some of the reasons why this may have come about: A large and familiar user base YouTube has been the home of music videos since it began so it’s not really a great surprise that users would turn to it as a means to experience music in general. In addition to commercially produced music videos for singles, many album tracks and live performances have also found their way on to the platform as well, either accompanied by static images or footage from gigs and concerts.
