As far as music being available, I think it's a decent option, but it's still beholden (as far as I know) to the music label oligopoly.

I'd like to see something that gives the music labels a run for their money, doesn't require artists to sign away all their rights in return for sales and makes sense for all players in the business, not just the big-money interests.




with services like cdbaby (who are signed on to spotify), independent artists can get pretty direct access to consumers, its only one separation from artists directly controlling their own distribution.

to be fair its been like that for a while with cdbaby and itunes, lets hope we start seeing a larger throughput of artists "go it alone" now that this is all in place, or maybe we were wrong about the labels (and the artists) all along.
