You are absolutely correct on the importance of mobile to the future of music. However the relevance of the mobile space goes much deeper than just being able to buy music via your phone. As time and technology moves on we may find that discovery, sale and referral all takes place in the mobile environment. I really like your take on this topic Matt.

I think you couldn't be more correct about the importance of the mobile space to the future of music. The less barriers that exist between the listener and the band for ways to exchange value for cash (such as songs and ringtones for US dollars), the more successful that band will be. Smooth integration with mobile devices is perhaps the most critical hurdle to remove. For example, how killer would it be to use your phone to take a photo of the band, have a facial recognition program identify it's Grand Ole Party, which then brings up ringtones and songs to buy in 1 click from the iTunes music store. I know we're almost there (minus the facial recognition), but the more user friendly the mobile space is the better. In Japan and a few other countries, people can already people can take a photo of a UPC label and have the money debited to from their bank account. Well written. This post will influence my response. :) Right on, Matt. I think you couldn’t be more correct about the importance of the mobile space to the future of music.
