A lot of talk is generating about Apple quite possibly turning iTunes into a cloud subscription service. A recent study by the NPD group concludes that millions would pay for a cloud-based iTunes that would let the user listen to anything in the iTunes catalog. It is not clear on whether or not this will happen but many seem to think 10 dollars would be the monthly fee. Not bad considering the platform would be servicing Computer, Phone and Mobile device users. I for one think it could be a great service. Especially if they get some kind of cloud transfer device in the works that would allow the consumer to stream and broadcast content to our devices at home such as, TV and Radio. Much like the way Blu-Ray Players have Netflix and Pandora built in. Apple already has a huge music and Movie catalog. I do think Millions would jump on board if they were able to stream everything whenever and where ever they want for 10 dollars. I think Apple may have me on this one if it actually goes down. What about you?

Music on the Net
I stumbled upon an article tonight with Prince saying, “The Internet is Over.” This comment in regard to mainstream music and the way the world gets music. Very interesting thought. I think in many ways this is true for him. Especially for a well known artist used to a hefty paycheck. However, I feel the internet has just begun in terms of music distribution for the little guys. The up and coming artists have a real way to do it themselves now. The ocean is large though. A lot of creatures swimming around looking for a bite. We can weigh the pros and cons all day about the state of the music industry but to me it seems that success is in the eye of the beholder. The game is changing and everyone is trying new things. Maybe only releasing a CD is the way Prince will connect with his true fans and get a paycheck. While some artists that have never been heard are making huge gains by giving away their music online. Whatever the case maybe, we have a digital revolution going on here. All of us with Bongiovi Acoustics and DPS Plug In are feeling like we are in the right place at the right time. Different strokes for different folks. How do you feel about the state of the music industry?
