Good (if long-winded) article on the state of the industry in the fledgling Digital Music Wars edn.com Song wars: striking back against the iPod empire Apple's continued dominance of the digital-audio-content and -player markets seems inevitable. Then again, so did its dominance of the PC market more than a decade ago. How does the Microsoft-led audio army plan to counterattack, and how might Apple repel its charge? As an aside, I personally loved Real Rhapsody when I was a subscriber for 6 months or so last year. As a means for music discovery, it's ability to generate personalized radio stations (customized by one's musical tastes) and then allow one to cross-reference whatever it's playing (jump to the artist's catalog) blows the doors off of anything that iTunes can offer. Ultimately, I decided that the cost was a little high, especially since I had an iPod. However, I should say that I have not spent a penny on an iTune (despite the assertion in the article above that iPod owners are averaging $50 in iTunes downloads each). For the same amount of money, I prefer owning the physical CD and ripping to the much more flexible mp3 format.
