Psycho

"Stream: Alfred Hithcock's foundational 1960 horror immortal charts the lethal convergence of unlucky losers Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) and Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) in a remote hotel haunted by sexual jealousy and violence. The rest is film history."
"MOG is planning to unveil its mobile app on March 15, a day before Spotify founder and CEO Daniel Ek is set to give a keynote at the Austin technology conference."
people who use free streaming music sites that enable users to listen to any song any time free of charge, make 13 percent fewer purchases of digital downloads.
"Only Pandora has shown a profit and that's just for one quarter."
Rhapsody’s subscriber base shrank for the third consecutive quarter in the final three months of 2009, falling below 700,000 by year’s end for the first time since mid-2008, meaning that its mobile apps aren’t winning over new customers fast enough to replace cancellations.
You can't help but like the continued disruption in the music business. The great thing is the internet will ensure the best models will win out..at least the models hopefully most beneficial to you and me.
"..the biggest question, at least in my mind, is what Apple intends to do for new music. Will it automatically allow any purchased track to be streamed for free? Will it offer a subscription plan for streaming of music that’s not currently in a user’s collection?"
"Livestream is the first to offer a turn-key streaming service that uses the new H.264 HTTP live streaming functionality included in the native QuickTime player that Apple has pre-installed on the iPhone. This means that Livestream producers do not need to obtain iPhone App Store approval to launch their own iPhone live streaming channel, nor do their viewers need to install any application. Streams are viewed using the iPhone’s Safari browser."
"The company commissioned a study that showed more than 80% of its user base was keen on getting mobile access, while 40% was interested in better sound quality. But the Premium offering in my opinion is interesting because it’s basically a way for users to have seamless access to their account and playlists whether they’re opening Deezer up in their browsers, start the cross-platform desktop client or listen to their favorite music on the go. It’s the type of convergence I keep wishing every online music service would offer."
"The move differs from some recently released services like Twitcam and Camtweet which can record video as well as stream it out live for your followers to watch and interact with. On the plus side, Yfrog's implementation has very generous time limits, as my test video went well past the 40-minute mark."
CNET's Josh Lowensohn on Jelli's arrival:
"Jelli's deal with Triton will put Jelli's user-picked station on FM radio, twice a day on around 4,500 stations across the U.S. This won't start until early next year though."
