  • Interview with NDM - "Non-Digital Man"

  • File Sharers Beware!!

  • Microsoft turn their back on WMDRM and their customers (again!!)

    I read with some dismay and anger that MSN Music UK - is to stop supporting the WMDRM from 31st August 2008.

  • Disposable Heroes

    In my quest and mission to inform and of course to put my tuppence worth in in regard to the state of the music industry - I think you have got to look at the state of the business and how the consumer ultimately sees and feels about their music, bands, artists - and dare I say it ''heroes'' Does that term even exist in today's MP3 Generation - ...

  • It was 45 years ago today (almost!) The Beatles go digital?

      March 2008 will see an unbelievable 45 years pass since the analogue mono release of their debut album on vinyl ''Please Please Me'' So it seems only fitting that the Fab Four's catalogue has the digital treatment and released to the world ''officially'' When this happens what will be the main driver ?
