The latest is from Finetune, which is one of the better personalizable streaming music sites online.
A Sirius/XM player and iPhone version from Slacker are both on the way.

We're rapidly heading towards a world where mobile streaming music solutions will be commodities, differentiated less by the feature-set and brand power and more by whose application enjoys the largest share of voice.

And the advantage there belongs, theoretically, to the brands with the biggest loudspeakers.

Hello, Radio.

  • Share of voice? Not exactly sure why that word is used to clarify what the new differentiator is, but I can explain in three paragraphs or less how I see the shakeout going down in the next 2 years.
    I dont have time for the paragraphs, so I'll just say, look how facebook and myspace emerged from the pack.

    Two questions:
    How do they monetize?
    What's between the songs?
  • Do we really need 8000 ways to stream jukeboxes to iPhones and other phones?
    What's going to differentiate besides marketing foot print is the content outside the music, which can and should attract listeners. We might actually have to be broadcasters again.
