Thanks for the shout, Taylor. Would love to rap with folks about monetizing the experiences AROUND music. Holla -- twitter.com/clintschaff.

The bottom line is that content is free to distribute now, more or less. With distribution costs at zero, the music goods will become closer and closer to free every day. So need new products around the music, and there should be no shortage of possibilities.

Thanks for the link.

The marketplace is in a very nascent stage right now. It is similar to how advertising was before Adsense came about. Buyers typically have to go through either their media agencies, which in turn find music through their personal networks. Negotiations will then have to be conducted before concluding on the final price. All these inefficient processes meant that there is an opportunity to make a better chain of buying and selling of music for commercial purposes.

Re: Events driven aggregator: you might be interested in JamsBio. The focus is a little different, but it's a business based on the stories behind the music. Drop Clint Schaff a line if you want to learn more..

Re: Marketplace: interesting - do you know anything about how the market currently works? How buyers find music, how the transactions are done, how buyers and sellers are matched?
