The music industry better be careful. MP3 could hit them hard in the pocket book. With near quality CD sound and software that can convert a complete CD to MP3 format in 10 minutes, the store bought CD could be obsolete.

There are thousands of songs available on the Internet for download, FREE. Some are illegal, as you are infringing on copyright, but the underground MP3 factories are ripping new MP3's every minute.

There is also software available to burn your downloaded MP3 songs on a CD and listen to it in any CD player.

Some MP3 Sites:

dmusic.com

members.xoom.com

musicglobalnetwork.com

The record companies have to give the consumer more, customization, better price, etc. MP3 is going to hurt the recording industry BIG TIME unless they jump on the bandwagon.

Here are some that are trying to deliver music in a new way:

Liquid Audio:
liquidaudio.com
(Check for an Anouncement about Iomega)

AT&T is trying, check it out:
a2bmusic.com

The problem with these last two sites, they NEED big names to draw the people in. If they FAIL, MP3 will CHANGE the face of the recording indusrty as we know it. Billions of dollars at stake here, BILLIONS.
