The Music Revolution
The internet is already revolutionising the way we listen to music and transforming the record industry. Now (legal) music downloading is finally taking off, this year sees the launch of two new major players in the UK - the new legitimate Napster, which launched last week, and Apple's iTunes - both of which have already proved incredibly successful in the US.
There, legal internet downloads are now out-stripping CD singles sales. Something that was considered a dull hobby for nerds two years ago is forecast to become a global business worth $4.5 billion by 2008. But right now, that business and the market it serves are still being invented.
We also report on how we'll soon be using our mobile phones to download and listen to music on the go.
