RWW Predictions: Facebook Music Coming Soon?
Last month we witnessed Myspace launch its long awaited Myspace Music service. Users of Myspace can now assemble playlists from a vast collection of music from four major labels and one independent distributor. Users can also stream these songs for free or purchase them free of DRM restrictions thanks to the AmazonMP3 service integration. Myspace Music isn't the perfect streaming music service, and there are talks of Facebook following suit. We'd like your help in predicting the following: Will Facebook integrate streaming music into its site by the end of this year? If so, via which service/partner will it do so?
Questions For The Digital Music Business and The Rise of Band Blogs
Looking back at the SanFran MusicTech Summit earlier this week, a few notable moments stand out that reflect on the state of the digital music business and how a new crop of startups may shape its future.
Perhaps the greatest challenges to companies like MySpace Music and Facebook may not be from the big players, but startups that offer artists greater control over their work and pricing flexibility.
5 People to Watch at The SanFran MusicTech Summit
The SanFran MusicTech Summit is on today. This event is fast becoming an important hub of conversation about the state of the digital music business.
I'm covering the event for ReadWriteWeb, primarily looking at the overall impacts that policy developments and the economy are having on the music industry. But also how these forces may affect the underpinning structure of the industry and the artists who create the music. I'll be shooting video, too, interviewing speakers and conference participants. To kick off our coverage, here are five important online music biz people we plan to track down at the conference...

We're running the interview in 3 parts, over 3 days. See also Part 2, on business models and Part 3, on design and features.
We started out by asking about the increasing competition in online music this year.

MySpace Music Launches Tonight and It Looks Very Cool
The long awaited MySpace Music service is launching tonight around 9pm PST. (It's the old site at that link right now.) We just got off the phone with the company for a briefing and we liked what we saw. It's going to be a very big deal.
Users will be able to assemble playlists from a huge catalog of songs from all four major labels and from independent distributor The Orchard, full length songs are all streamable for free, users will be able to purchase DRM-free MP3s through a close integration with the AmazonMP3 service and developers will have a gradually increasing amount of access to user activity data from the Music section. Screen shots below.
Imeem Taking Off - Before MySpace Music Has Even Launched
Music-based social networking site Imeem is getting a lot of the right kind of press currently, based on strong traffic growth and key deals with record labels. We last wrote about Imeem in March, when they launched a developer platform that enabled read/write access to user information and more. As we explained then, Imeem is a site where users can listen to licensed streaming music, as well as upload music and blog about it - all for free.
As SfGate.com reported tonight, Imeem is the third-largest social network in the United States after MySpace and Facebook; and it's now the No. 1 streaming music site in the US.
