Billboard 200 Chart to Incorporate Digital Track Sales, On-Demand Streaming Music

Sadly, I have very little use for streaming music in the reverse black hole of an office I work in: no signal can get in.

If you go pro on Spotify, you can cache as much music as you want on your device -- I do it all the time so I can listen on the subway.

Interesting! Thanks for the tip!

Seems like everyone is jumping into the streaming music scene. I bet some drop out quickly; there are only so many slices in this pie.

Like any other business.

In the 90's there was an attempt at a retail "custom cassette" where you entered a dozen songs on the charts and it high speed recorded it for you and spit out the cassette. This did not work out as 1) the design of the machine was too complex, 2) Writable CD's killed the format.

I can see a service that collects streams and builds a flash drive full of them to play. Yes, this has been done before but not in a "hot girl literate, click, click, click" manner. Thus, when off line or you streaming eats your bandwidth, you can play this of a multi-gig flash drive or in your smartphone.
