Yahoo! Music Cuts Update

The New York Times is reporting that 80 to 100 Yahoo! Music staffers were reassigned and one knowledgeable Hypebot reader tells us that half the music staff was let go late last week.

Whatever the details, all signs point to the Yahoo! Music shakeup that we reported yesterday that big changes are ahead at Yahoo! Music.

Did SpiralFrog Try To Fix Hypebot's Poll Results?

UPDATED: I've been running a poll in the right hand column of Hypebot for about a week asking which paid download service has the best chance of success - SprialFrog, We7 or "Other".  Throughout the week We7 was beating SpiralFrog by about 4 to 1 and as of yesterday evening less than 100 people had voted.

But this morning I awoke to see that 650 726 people had suddenly voted in the survey and that Sprial Frog was now slightly ahead of We7.  Sometime last night Hypebot's hits started to look like this:

Why Amazon Will Do Nothing To Help The Music Industry

GUEST COMMENTARY from Marc Cohen who blogs @ Ad Supported Music Central and  the founder of Lirix, a tech company focused on ad supported music solutions. Early next week I'll write about why I disagree with Mark and think that Amazon's new mp3 store is industry changing.

To much fanfare, Amazon launched its Amazonmp3.com music download store.  As one would expect from Amazon, Amazonmp3 offers a superior on-line buying experience. Amazon has perfected the art of the up-sell and now it will weave music downloads into its synergistic retail web.

So Amazonmp3 is great for Amazon, but is it great for the industry?  I say that this new digital music storefront will do nothing to help the recorded music industry. Why? Because Amazonmp3 will not grow recording industry revenue. This is the critical point. Here is my rationale:

I don't believe that any more than an infinitesimally small portion of the digital music market has not bought a download because they couldn't find the right store. The available supply of music downloads exceeds the demand.

Yahoo! Blog Confirms Changes Ahead For Music Division

Rumors of major changes within Yahoo! Music have been rumored for weeks and a post on a company blog all but confirms them.

"We are streamlining the structure of one portion of our Santa Monica presence — our entertainment division — with a vision of offering a more integrated entertainment experience. That means we’ll be creating more synergies between our music, games, movies, TV, and omg! properties..." wrote Vince Broady head of Yahoo! Entertainment and Video.  "...rather than staffing entertainment business units around distinct properties, we’re freeing up resources to feed new areas of focus. We’ll be investing in the development of next gen media platforms, applications and services, creating cool new opportunities for third-party publishers and media companies while also harnessing the power of social media and user-generated content."

Translation: Cuts are ahead and in the future more content will be user-generated and come from cheaper outside sources.

100 Free & Affordable High & Low Tech Music Promotion Tips - Part 8

As we reach the final 20 tips we'd love to add your ideas.  Please leave them in the comments section.

71. Hire or befriend a geek who will help you keep up on new technologies and internet promo opportunities.
72. Partner with an appropriate charity. Build good will and get more free media.  Maybe it’s a small % or maybe it’s auctioning off or selling the seats on stage or tickets to the sound check.
73. Consider Craigslist, Ebay and StubHub as promotional tools…Try selling tickets and other stuff there.
74. Musicians want to be actors and actors and athletes want to be musicians.  Think about how you can cross promote so everyone wins.
75. Always make available a hi-resolution color photo available for easy download and you’ll get much better placement in print Sunday editions and calendar sections.
76.Some fans travel so try cross–promoting with another show (by the same band or just a similar band) in another city 50 or 100 miles away.
77. Create a special “Insider” email list for pre-announcements and include key media and tastemakers who love to know things first…and like to tell others.
78. If the artist will agree to do a meet and greet after show make sure that it's advertised. Fans always want a chance to meet the musicians.
79. Consider offering a student discount or senior discount.
80. List all your tour dates online at pollstar.com, celebrityaccess.com, musictoday.com, livenation.com and elsewhere.  You never know where people will go looking for a show.

Read tips 1-10, 11-20 and 21-30, 31-40, 49-50, 51-60, and 61-70. And please share your ideas for the final 20 !

>>> Global Grind opens online hip hop community. Backers include Russell Simmons.

>>> Kudos continue for the new Amazon download store (Newsfactor) Read Hypebot's roundup of what's being said around the web here.

Sonicbids Responds To CMJ Controversy

In responding to the recent controversy accusing CMJ of taking showcase submission fees vai Sonicbids and not listening to the applicants, Sonicbids CEO Panos Panay write wrote:

"....one of the nice things about being an online company is that we are able to see activities that happen on our servers...The issue arose from the fact that the current version of the Sonicbids EPK “hits tracker” tells you if an MP3 was streamed, but it does not indicate if it was downloaded...Since CMJ prefers to review submitting artists by downloading their tracks first, this resulted in several bands getting a rejection from CMJ, but, when they checked their tracker stats, noticed that their music was not registered as having been played..."

"....In addition to this, we know that CMJ listened to the artists that submitted because, simply, we know CMJ. Big deal, you say, right? I can tell you that there is hardly an organization out there that has done more for independent music in the past 25 years than CMJ..."

Amazon MP3 Store Reaction & Analysis From Around The Web

Our news story and analysis "What The Amazon Store Is...And Is Not" got so many links and hits that we thought we'd take a look across the web to see what other's thought of the opening of Amazon's MP3 Download Store.

Engadet - "If you're into DRM-free music, you have a reason to get pretty excited today."

Om Malik @ GigaOM - "Bottom line: 26 out of 50. I am not ready to write Amazon off just yet. We might have a worthy competitor..."

David Card of Jupiter Research - "Amazon's 2.3 million song catalog is fairly crippled...But pretty soon, consumers will see the fruit of competition based on pricing, merchandising, packaging, user experience, editorial, knowledge of consumer habits, etc., etc., instead of on random acts of technology...The game just got a lot more interesting.

Hypebot Comment by Bruce Warila - "Is Amazon going to make the pie bigger or divide it? I am doubtful that the paid download market is going to keep growing...:  (more great comments from Hypebot readers here.)

WMG Stock Falls

Warner Music Group shares hit new lows yesterday closing at $9.74.  A year ago the stock traded at $27.

As the only publicly traded stand alone record label WMG is the most visible recipient of growing investor doubts about the recorded music industry.  But despite public pronouncements to the contrary, the label group's slow adoption of new revenue streams - WMG labels were left completely out of yesterday's Amazon launch for example - is also causing concern.

Pirate Bay Turns Tables On EMI, Universal & Sony BMG

Swedish torrent site Pirate Bay has turned the tables and sues 10 major music and media companies who tried to disrupt the site by hiring Media Defender.  Using evidence it gathered thanks to the recent massive hack of MediaDefender's email, Swedish police are expected in the next few days to decide if charges should be brought against the labels and studios.

" Thanks to the email-leakage from MediaDefender-Defenders we now have proof of the things we've been suspecting for a long time; the big record and movie labels are paying professional hackers, saboteurs and ddosers to destroy our trackers...The charges are infrastructural sabotage, denial of service attacks, hacking and spamming, all of these on a commercial level," wrote Pirate Bay.

Analysis: What The Amazon Store Is... And Is Not.

You can find our in depth first look at the new Amazon DRM free download store here. But just how "industry changing" is it?

The Amazon MP3 Download Store IS:

• An important step forward for digital music.
  
  • Amazon has set the bar higher and that's good for the entire industry. Plus Amazon name and buying experience and the universal usability of the tracks should help expand the universe of download buyers.
• A another big nail in the DRM coffin.
• A boost for the record industry.
  
  • Amazon is a partner the labels already know and trust who just gave them everything that Apple is fighting not to: variable pricing, full album downloads, universal compatibility and DRM sales of indie artists.
  • Come on WMG and Sony BMG...walk towards the light...
• A serious threat to every other download store.
  • Not only does it have all of the major label DRM free product that they do. It has hundreds of thousands of indie tracks that the others do not.
• A possible eMusic killer.
  • With defections from some a few of their most important labels, eMusic is left competing on price alone. I predict that when the checks from Amazon downloads equal those they get from eMusic that more indie labels will pull out.

The Amazon MP3 Download Store IS NOT:

• The iTunes killer.
  • Serious competition yes. Killer no. Too many people are used to the iTunes to iPod experience no matter how easy Amazon makes it.
• The answer to all your download buying needs.
  • It's not their fault. The labels won't let them...yet.
• A mobile solution. 
  
  • With the Verizon's deal with Rhapsody/MTV and the the iTunes Wireless store, Amazon needs to move quickly to add over the air downloads.

Tell us what you think. We'll post the best comments and reaction from around the web tomorrow.

Amazon's DRM-Free Download Store Launches With 2.3 Million Tracks

UPDATED: After more than a year of speculation, The Amazon DRM-free download store has finally opened with an impressive 2,323,235 mp3's available from 180,000 artists on 20,000 labels. All tracks are 256 kps mp3's priced at 89 to 99 cents.

Included are thousands of tracks from Universal (more it appears than are available elsewhere) and virtually the entire EMI catalog including Radiohead and Pink Floyd. Missing are digital hold outs The Beatles and Bob Seger.

Leading independent labels offering their catalog of music for the first time DRM-free include Alligator, HighTone, Madacy, Sanctuary, Rounder, Righteous Babe, Sugar Hill, Trojan and Phillip Glass' Orange Mountain.

Vanguard/Sugar Hill/Welk, who have been experimenting with a limited mp3 offering via eMusic has a much broader selection on Amazon.  Drag City and Red House who had left eMusic's subscription service are now available as mp3's on Amazon. But eMusic's most high profile defections Epitaph and Victory have not yet made the jump to Amazon.

No downloads from Sony BMG or WMG are available on Amazon, but some labels distributed by WMG owned ADA are available including Beggars Group, Merge and Touch & Go. Several other ADA distributed labels are absent from today's launch.

While there is a distinct mp3 section and chart, Amazon has smartly also positioned downloads alongside CD's in the general music section.  Search for the Beatles and you'll find only CD's for sale.  Search for most other EMI artists and you'll find mp3's also available.

Amazon has priced more than 1 million songs lower than iTunes price at 89 cents including most of the top 100 selling tracks. Other songs are priced at the industry standard 99 cents.  Full album purchase is encouraged with most albums priced from $5.99 to $9.99 with much of top 100 best-selling albums at $8.99 or less.

As with most Amazon offerings, ease of use should be a major draw. Customers can purchase downloads using Amazon 1-Click shopping and using a special Amazon MP3 Downloader add their mp3s to their iTunes or Windows Media Player libraries. Amazon's popular recommendation feature looks back up on all of your previous CD purchases to provide instant download suggestions.

61. Send thank-you notes. No one ever says thank-you anymore. It will be remembered.
62. Ask for the purchase. Never forget that you are in sales.
63. Market to the niches. Market to bartenders in Irish pubs for a Celtic or motorcycle shops for a heavy metal.  Try tattoo parlors, coffee shops, book stores, niche clothing shops.

66. Share media lists with others highlighting things you think will work best for each project.
67. Sell a series or combo. This works for recorded music and live tickets.

Virgin To Close US & UK Download Stores October 19th

Hypebot reported that this would happen months ago, but the end is finally near. Virgin will shut its music subscription and download services in the US and UK next month.

In the UK, Virgin Digital stopped selling tracks last week and is no longer accepting new customers. Only existing customers now use the service and the site will shut down completely on Oct. 19th. U.S. customers will face a similar fate but will get a credit to be used on Napster’s music download service. No figures have been released from Napster on conversion rates from Virgin or the similar deal that it made with AOL.

Update: Report From the Protest Against Sony BMG At Popkomm

EXCLUSIVE: This report came in this morning from the organizers of the protest against Sony BMG at Popkomm in Berlin:

"(At) Popkomm, we staged a small action at the SonyBMG stand with our large "Copy protection Disempowers" banner. SonyBMG are to date not cooperating with providers who would like to deliver music downloads without restrictions and protection schemes. For this the MP3-format would be well suited. We therefore suggest a Boycott of SonyBMG-music which is delivered with copy protection. Sony was responsible for the Rootkit-disaster, spreading millions of cds containing malignant software. Sony is also one of the largest manufacturers of hardware with built-in copy protection systems." - Marcus @ Netzpolitik.org (site in German)

Starbucks Gives Away 50 Million Tracks For iTunes WiFi Launch

Starbucks is going to give away 50 million tracks as it helps launch the new iTunes wireless service with Apple. From Oct. 2 to Nov. 7 customers in all 10,000 U.S. Starbucks outlets will be handed 1.5 million "Song of the Day" cards each day for redemption on iTunes.  The first song featured is Bob Dylan's "Joker Man."

Starbucks own Hear Music label artists Paul McCartney and Joni Mitchell will among the 37 artists featured along with Dave Mathews, Joss Stone, John Mayer, Annie Lennox and Band of Horses.

Starbucks will also start selling iTunes digital release cards for full albums plus bonus material. KT Tunstall's "Drastic Fantastic" and the soundtrack to the film "Into the Wild" featuring music by  Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder will be part of the card debut retailing for $14.99 and $11.99 respectively. Starbucks will also sell limited-edition re-loadable purchase or gift cards that include two free downloads when registered online.

Beginning with 600 stores in NY and Seattle on Oct 2 and then expanding nationally, a Starbucks icon will light up on any iPhone or iTouch when in range of a Starbucks WiFi signal. People with the Apple devices or any laptop with iTunes software can use the WiFi signal free to browse iTunes.

ANALYSIS - The partnership allows Starbucks to further imbed music into its brand experience with limited cost and precious self space.  In return Apple gets a ubiquitous and trusted retail partner as it works to extend its own dominance in the music marketplace.

But could Starbucks and iTunes actually accelerate sluggish download growth?  "We're going to see huge improvement in terms of the amount of tracks downloaded", Ken Lombard  the president of  Starbucks Entertainment told AP.

That may seem a bold prediction, but the majority of downloads already happen over the air in Japan and some other markets. Starbucks and iTunes  could in fact be on the front edge of a wireless download wave that once again transforms the new music business.

Is Amazon Ever Going To Open Their Download Store?

We were amused buy yesterday's post on Idolator...

"From Amazon.com's homepage today. Is this their way of waving the white flag with regards to their MP3 store, or is this their way of saying "eff you, you idiots, you're just forcing users to take extra steps and they'll probably steal the music anyway because they're as sick of your antics as we are" to SonyBMG and Warner Music Group, who are still holdouts on selling DRM-free music? It's so hard to tell!"  -  Idolator

It made us wonder...is it possible after all of the rumors and even public announcements by the company, that Amazon isn't going to open their mp3 store after all? All we can tell you is this: some of the record labels - who in the past have been a veritable fountains of information - are staying strangely silent both on and off the record.

We'll keep digging, but if you have heard any rumors or even have any good conspiracy theories, leave 'em in the comment section or email me privately.

New Study Says DRM Violates Canadian Privacy Laws

A new study says that the DRM used to "protect" music and software downloads violates Canadian privacy laws.

The study which was published by the University of Ottawa's Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic showed that DRM is being used to "collect, use and disclose consumers' personal information for secondary purposes" without giving the consumer real notice or the opportunity to opt-out of DRM collection.

iTunes was one of the examples used in the study but it seems that any download with DRM attached would also violate Canadian law.
