[...] As a social network, MySpace has been associated with teenagers and unsigned musicians, who hoped to be spotted and propelled into stardom (there was a rumor about Lilly Allen being discovered through her MySpace page – showbiz parents and access to record labels types had nothing to do with it) or as a support for already established artists. MySpace Music is a community that allows its users to stream music (there is advertising in between) and download selected songs. Major record companies have a stake in the enterprise. Here is where I see a problem – streaming is nice, as a promotional tool. Check out the album, then buy it or get it some other way. For ongoing music consumption, streaming will not do. Some people came up with ways of showing others how to download the music already on MySpace, so MySpace Music will be no exception I am afraid. It seems that the only viable model – both in terms adopting the music to digital age and its sale – is Itunes. Portable, beautifully designed player beats streaming or any kind of online community anytime. Which is why MySpace is already thinking about a player. [...]

You count out the Zune and the Sansa before history has. That is a bit of fanboi action going on. The Zune IS competing, the sansa IS competing. Just because they havent defeated ipod YET doesn’t mean they haven’t yet.

It is hopeless media types like you that try to influence the industry. If people would give the other options a chance they would realize almost ALL the competitors to ipod are BETTER. Ipod just snows all the media so they don’t bother to review and think for themselves.

I hope apple and ipod are destroyed.
