MySpace’s music service changes the game
MySpace is taking a completely different approach to digital music.
Unlike Apple or Microsoft, MySpace will sell
unprotected*
MP3 files. That means any user who buys a song from a band’s page on MySpace can play the song on an iPod, a
____1____
or any number of other MP3 players. Also, that song can be
burned*
to a disc endlessly.
“We have a strong
____2____
that our users want unprotected songs," said Amit Kapur, director of business development for MySpace, “We feel this is a big test in the market.”
That test will begin without music from the major record labels, which demand that
____3____
put strict
digital rights*
management tools on songs to limit copying.
Future needs
“It’s clear to us we need to have major labels
in the long run*
,” Kapur said. “We will need to find a business model they will agree with.”
Instead, MySpace will tap the estimated 3 million undiscovered bands that have profile pages and independent labels willing to
____4____
digital rights restrictions. The artists and small labels will be able to sell songs from their own stores built into their MySpace pages. Fans, too, will be able to create a store on their pages to sell songs from their favorite bands.
All of the digital music action is focused on what remains a small, but growing market: Roughly 90 percent of music purchased is still sold on compact disc.
Convergence
Despite where one buys music, the player are likely to hold the key to who may eventually
put a dent in*
Apple’s dominant market share. And many analysts still believe that mobile phones will one day be the music player of choice.
“All the parts that make up an MP3 player are pretty
____5____
the parts in an MP3-playing phone,” Albert Lin of American Technology Research said. “There’s certainly a reasonable market of people that want both a phone and music player in one device.”
