  1. Great show!
    Very interesting comments on podsafe music. Neville, could you post the URLs that you mentioned.
    With the potential for such methods to bring the revenue directly to the artist has anyone noticed a reaction, positive or otherwise, from the music industry who surely must be most at threat from this?

    Thanks,
    ~Robin

  3. Robin, Adam Curry once asked his listeners to let him know if they ever bought music from iTunes or other resources after hearing it on a podcast. The response was overwhelming. One individual, for example, had spent thousands of dollars on online music based on hearing the tunes on shows like Jan Polet’s “Hit Test.”

  4. On this subject I found a very interesting podcast on IT Converstions: Voices in Your Head, an interview with Gerd Leonhard and David Kusek about their new book Future Music. (And, no, that Amazon URL doesn’t contain an associate ID.)
