Coupled with the spot, is the way to go

Delayed payment options are the ones that generate the most revenue (see: ringtones, 600 million in essentially one year)

The disappearance of albums is the only viable model. SO SO SO SO SO sad. the experience of listening to a record will be gone, in favor of isolated recordings that are subscription based
(live, remix, album track, solo songs)

especially with what ? has said about the profit sharing system, this will be good. i dont think that anyone other than real music heads and album reviewers listen to albums as albums.

the ability to choose individual tracks has destroyed the album experience. but this needs to be supplanted with a better experience for the fan. and NO ONE has a better fan experience than the roots. the shows, this community, only dane cook circa 2005 was better.

so why no sales? the experience needs to be tied together. and i think a spot can do that.


and also, bets that labels are going to want a cut of touring revenue to recoup. the only way around this is to own the venue
