I see that the blogs today are carrying the story that the huge Warner music label has withdrawn licences for streaming music (from Spotify, Last.fm, Pandora and others).
Wow!
On the one hand they are stopping one of the ways that music fans enjoy their music, on the other they say that these business models (free streaming, plus buy a premium service) are not for them.
I have another opinion to add strangely in support of Warner. The audio quality of all the streaming services is very poor and by supporting them the labels are downgrading their product. What they need is CD quality downloads, and a new HD quality service at premium cost.
They should go talk again to Apple to see if they will put Apple Lossless files at 16bit/44.1kHz and 24bit/96kHz on iTunes. That would be a premium service worth paying for.
