Audiobulb Records has its work out in digital shops and yes iTunes, eMusic,
Napster and RealNetworks/Rhapsody seems to be where the action is in terms
of sales. There is definately a sense that this is agrowth area and whilst
CD sales drop off from some - digital sales are picking up. The eMusic deal
seems like a good one.
Which of these digital outlets do people find easiest or most useful to use?
