Listmates,

NPR has been running some stories about music and the Internet; two of them I thought might be of interest:

Morning Edition, December 28, 2004 · Though online sales make up only about 4 percent of overall music sales, one Oregon company has found success in the Internet market. CD Baby has found a middle ground between corporate record labels and the independence of the Internet. Marcie Sillman of member station KUOW reports.

Morning Edition, December 29, 2004 · Songwriters and musicians get royalties when their music is played in public, on the radio or in clubs. With the advent of Internet radio and digital cable broadcasts, performers are also entitled to royalties. In the final story in our online music series, NPR's Neda Ulaby reports on Sound Exchange, a company dedicated to tracking the music and sending royalties to musicians.
