Loudenergy.com buys online assets of once mighty Riffage.com (Site PopUps!).
- Bottom Line: Can they make money doing this? We'll see.
Napster News: Napster Licenses Relatable.com's New Commercial Release of TRM Acoustic Fingerprinting Technology filtering.
- Bottom Line: Happy court, happy RIAA and happy Sony but frustrated users. Filter that!
Listen.com beta test - ListenSeeker.com, which provides contextual info.

What's it all about? Ask RIAA.org. First ask who is RIAA. What's @ stake, really? M-O-N-E-Y & Control. Keep telling them what you want them to hear and eventually no matter how outrageous it will be believed as truth.
Windows Media - Media Player Usage Up? Good for Microsoft & EverAd.com? Who? EverAd's client server technology @ work! How about more ad-supported streams? Think of it as more ad-supported REVENUE streams. How many ways can the XP in your computing experience annoy us all?
More layoffs; Cdnow.com's 2nd round of cost reductions. To those 40 employees happy job hunting. Expect more layoffs to follow.
House of Blues new site: HOBPM.com Will it catch on?
- Think subliminal marketing!
Top Audio Site: Real.com determined by MediaMetrix.com
- I personally prefer #10 on the list, Launch.com, for video.
