A study conducted by the group reveals that just 10 percent of all purchasers at Amazon MP3 are converts from Apple's service, with the rest either switching from other stores or else are new to direct-download music. This comparatively new audience is a "healthy i... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/15/npd.on.amazon.vs.itunes/ Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/14/emusic.passes.200m/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/ipod-emusic.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Web-based music service eMusic today celebrated a milestone with its 200 millionth song download. The figure was reached approximately four and a half years after the store's November 2003 launch of its MP3-based subscription service but is touted as having been accomplished without the help of most major labels, relying chiefly on independents for its content. By comparison, Apple is known to h... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/14/emusic.passes.200m/ Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/03/myspace.music.today/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/myspacemusic-woodhands.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />MySpace's frequently rumored music download store could launch as early as today, according to a rumor put forward by CNET. The publication claims to know sources who say that an initial announcement is planned that will expand the site's currently hands-off music section into a service that offers a combination of downloads and streams. Mirroring past stories, the feature would allegedly let us... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/03/myspace.music.today/ Thu, 03 Apr 2008 15:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/20/myspace.music.rumor/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/myspacemusic.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />MySpace is currently in talks to create a music service that would offer both free and paid service, according to alleged leaks from those familiar with the negotiations. The social networking site is reportedly securing rights from all four major music labels for a simply-titled MySpace Music service that would allow it both to provide free, streaming music from its pages as well as paid MP3 tra... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/20/myspace.music.rumor/ Wed, 20 Feb 2008 13:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/20/radiohead.on.emi.itunes/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0712/thomyorke.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />One of the key reasons Radiohead has refrained from signing on to digital music is licensing rights, the band's lead singer Thom Yorke says in an interview with Wired. The musician observes that the group's previous, multi-album contract with music label EMI contained virtually no clauses for digital music rights as it was struck years before digital music stores were available.
