mp3.com - from sheer hype this one will probably explode on ipo
the challenge for michael robertson (mp3.com ceo) is to monetize the freebie downloads

for all intents and purposes mp3.com is a record label by another name

liquid audio embraces the music industry with copyright protection

it's still early. i like mp3's bulk but not its weak business model; i like liquid audio's copyright protection but not its weak distribution at the moment

perhaps a hybrid mp3/liquid audio could serve the best

mp3.com IPO will probably rocket on hype and download numbers; it still hasn't figured out a business model in my opinion, and musicians who use it (as well as audiophiles) tell me that the mp3 format cuts off the high-end of the sound spectrum (read: no clear treble)

liquid audio is in bed with the record companies so we'll see if that bears any offspring

i expect a middle ground model, free and pay to use that still hasn't emerged fully
