How is BBI going to do in the music business?

blockbuster.com

Will they have to close their music stores due to competition like:

cdnow.com
musicforce.com
broadcast.com
audiohighway.com
emusic.com
mp3.com
liquidaudio.com
rioport.com
amazon.com

That's just to name a few.

I don't know if you have noticed, but there are lot of people in the music industry that think the future of music is on the internet, but not mail order. They believe the that music will be downloaded to the computer from the internet then transfer to a portable digital music player that does not even use a CD, but provides CD quality music.

What is BBI going to do to compete with downloadable digital music?

The press releases only mentioned video. Does that mean that VIA is keeping the music part of the business? I don't think so.
