Magnatune
Magnatune is a start-up, which helps independent artists to distribute their music. Customers can listen to the music online and download it, if they want to (after paying for it of course).
When I read it, I wondered whether artists will not be able to publish their material on their own in the future. Create an RSS-feed with your music. Anyone can then subscribe to your music. Maybe a payment mechanism should be around RSS. All the promotion will be done through the RSS-grapevine. A company such Magnatune might help the artists with all the technical stuff. Then we only need a Music RSS-aggregator with metadata, so I can tune in to the feeds to my liking.
