I'm surprised that the find this an efficient approach, but it is is pretty cool either way. bruce, I'm always skeptical about NPD's numbers, which tend to play to RIAA illusions about how bad things aren't, but in this case they match my own expectations. Listeners prefer the browser to dedicated clients like LimeWire or iTunes. Usability and convenience of an in-browser app blow away dedicated apps. I had no idea it was a p2p architecture, tam.

Pretty smart, but definitely not killing all p2p technology, just using it smartly.

Downloads from peer-to-peer networks fell 6 percent in 2008, NPD said. Meanwhile, 52 percent of teens said they listened to online radio in 2008, up from 34 percent from 2007. Almost half of teens, 46 percent, used social-networking sites to download or stream music, an increase from 26 percent in 2007, NPD said. -B did you the NPD Group stats yesterday?
