HYPEBOT & ODM's predictions for the Music Industry in 08'

As a music lover here are the trends in 2008 that will effect you.

1. DRM IS DEAD. The final labels will drop all DRM within a month.
2. Mega-Stars are soooo 2007. Find the bands you love. Support them. Who cares if MTV doesn’t play their video? YouTube does..
3. The iPod is still cool but so is the Zune and other players.
4. Everything is going wireless: downloads and net radio on your cell, listen to your music collection anywhere.
5. NICHES RULE! Whether you like Scottish Bagpipe Metal or Mexican Punk there will be sites and communities for you.
6. Don’t pay for a subscription to Napster or Rhapsody. imeem and others give you almost the same thing for free.
7. Ringtones are over. Create your own and stick with it.
8. You’ll get more free stuff with your downloads: lyrics, videos, artwork and more.
9. More great music will become available for free thanks to ad supported sites like We7 and SprialFrog.
10. More bands will drop their record labels and go direct like Radiohead, The Eagles, Prince and others already have.

Its a digital world mayne. Dayumm.
