All day, I've been asking myself this question. To me, the most pressing issue is and continues to be exploring the emergent social ecology of music culture online. Now that's a rather abstract one. Close contenders are:
- Fostering online music communities that support creativity
- Raising local cultural awareness and active fan participation
- Decriminalizing digital youth and deepening media literacy
- Identifying artist revenue streams beyond digital song sales
