I just read a nice article from Portfolio.com that talks about Apple’s dominance in the music distribution business and how it won’t last. I’ve read a lot of these types of analysis and personally believe that services like Rhapsody, Napster and Zune pass are the way of the future. No per song fees, access any music anywhere, single monthly fee is the model that will allow MORE music discovery, MORE enjoyment of music, a WIDER spectrum of listening and a sound music industry that is MORE fair to the artists.
The main point of the article is that it will take Apple to convert to this model in order for it to really take off. It may not be Apple, but someone big or something really discontinuous needs to happen in order for the broader public (ie - everyone with an iPod) to try the services. Here is the link to the article - enjoy.
