Streaming Services Continue To Grow
paidContent:UK recently published a overview of the most popular on demand streaming services around the world. You can find the full overview here, but The Orchard’s Daily Rind Blog has published a quick recap:
Rhapsody remains ahead of the pack with the largest published subscriber base of close to 675,000 subscribers, although this number has been steadily declining.
Napster has continued to be a well-known brand name, despite being “the biggest loser” of the 2005 Super Bowl Ads.
MOG is fairly new service in the US (and soon UK) that offers unlimited streaming ($9.99/month) with a catalog of 8 million songs. Last week, MOG unveiled its long anticipated mobile app for the iPhone and Android.
Apple is a wild card. Shortly after Apple shut down recently purchased Lala, many speculated that Apple will step up with a global service of their own. Yet, the future of Apple’s place in online music streaming still remains unknown.
Same goes for Google, who recently hired music attorney Elizabeth Moody. They are rumored to launch a music service later this year along with the Android 3.0.
