World Awaits Purchase Of Clue By Music Industry
Before they can make a positive change, the music industry must first recognize that they are the problem, not their customers. Many companies cling to failing business models, lacking the flexibility to improve their situation. This is obviously true in many industries, not just this one.

Progress in MP3 Hardware
Interesting things happening in the field of handheld MP3 players/recorders.

The Nueros 20 Gb HD looks like the second act of the RIAA's nightmare scenario.

The Neuros can broadcast songs wirelessly to your stereo. It can record and identify songs from the FM radio. With automatic synchronization all your downloads, playlist changes, and requests from your PC library will be automatically executed.

The coup de gras for this is highspeed wireless sharing between handheld drives.  A simple user preference:  share or private.  Auto-recognition of shared drives within the wireless radius of the handheld.  The ability to select, connect, and download playlists, music, movies, etc at high speed.
