How successful will Amazon music services be?

It sounds interesting but I don't think they can make any dent  into Apple's domination with iPod + iTunes. Amazon should think more in line of having a service for downloading and viewing books - that is do something for book like what iPod + iTunes did for music.

Well, I am an advocate for leagal downloading.  Theer is a site wher eyou will pay about .10-.14 cents a song, about 2.99 or less an album.  You will pay about .99 anywhere else.  Check out either www.allofmp3.com or allofmp3s.com with the second one you can get unlimited download deals, its cheaper because the company is in the netherlands, but its legit and they have lots of other things to check out.  Thats where i went a while ago and I am very satisfied.  Thanks for the www.jesusfreakhideout.com i had never heard of it, ill be on there quite a bit now.

Nope, Just dowload it and install it like a new program it will import your music and things right with it. It just installs over the top of it.

only if you get it legaly, but that still isn't 100% great quality, safest way is cd's or something legal-iTunes is great.

I've bought many things on Amazon (directly from the company, not the auctions or resellers) and have NEVER had problems with them, they're very reliable.\n\nI've also purchased things on Ebay, you must check a person's feedback, if their feedback is reliable and they have nearly all positives, purchase the product with them. If the person has a ton of negatives and shows that they aren't reliable in sending merchandise then it's not worth it. I would also advise you to NEVER send plain cash to people, always use money orders, checks or pay services like Paypal.

Interesting quiestion.\n\n1) Go Multi-Local: A great way to improve revenue while leveraging their strongest asset (customer focus technology)would be to go multi local expanding into high throughput consumer economies (such as Germany and Japan) If amazon would launch multi-local sites with strong logistics.\n\nEven atypical markets would be good for Amazon they could follow the example of ebay in latin america (check out a case study on ebay´s latin american branch http://www.deremate.com )\n\n2) Go into alternate service markets:\n\nThe back bone of amazon´s success is the strong logistics motor that links customer traking and physical delivery. Amazon could create a new brand umbrella and sell Logistics outsourcing for Distribution centers. (go into a segment dominated today by ryder, and dhl) In a way they have allready started to exploit this strenght offering electronic storefronts for small businesses but it would be great if their distribution center knowelege could be sold to traditional retail giants such as K Mart.\n\n3) Cross brand with competitive size brick and mortar bookstores. Amazon could easily cross brand, merge or even hostily take over a good competitive bookstore chain to build a physical presence in malls and shopping centers arround the country. There is still a suprising amount of consumers who are not internet buyers. If amazon would cross brand with someone like borderbooks or walden books they could probably access the best of both worlds. (Amazon is still positioned as a bookstore more than anything else)\n\nThere are three ideas you could elaborate on.\nCheck profit margins and typical markup values in each of these businesses to support your case in class and you will have a solid project. . . Good Luck

successfully ? who knows

Hmmm seems to be working well for me.  What music are you rating highly? If you rate something like Fall Out Boy highly .. then you might get a lot of pop with that because FOB is listened to by so many people who also like Kelly Clarkson et al.\n\nBy the way..  there is a Yahoo! Group for LAUNCHcast, and the folks that actually program the algorithm often answer questions about why certain songs play. If you're polite and reasonable, you might find it informative.

Actually if you have different profiles set up on your machine then you'll be ok.  My wife and I have an iPod each and since we have different profiles on the machine we are able to sync our own without crossing over each others music.  That's the easiest way I know.

I used to have it and I was pretty satisfied with it.  I was able to find A LOT of hard-to-find songs and it downloaded pretty quick; and it was user-friendly.

You can get it on Yahoo music.

I just discovered this really fantastic site called Pandora.com, an offshoot of the Music Genome project.  (I'm not sure, you might need iTunes for it to run.)  All you do is tell it your favourite artist or song, and it pulls stuff out of the project and plays it. No commercials, either!\n\nBefore that, I used Yahoo! Music, but I disliked the commercials and the fact it would not transition between styles well - otherwise it worked pretty well.

Yea, make sure you hava a data plan, but you will need to upload the music files to a privite server (e.g. Geocities) Since thas what i do for Pictures,music,ringtones.

I used to have Ares and Kazaa and all those free music download things, but they were really slow, so I saw there was iTunes. It's 99 cents a song and I don't use a Credit Card I just buy the Cards @ Wal-mart lol. It's really worth it, even though you have to pay for it. No spam and it's set up nice.  It is safe and wouldn't get bloocked or anything like that.
