Heh, same, I'm betting there's lots more on here. Indeed. I'm another. The amount of artists who are self-releasing is rapidly growing as the tools become available, and I'm excited to see which business models will emerge. The future of the music industry is in investment, marketing and management. The idea of treating it like manufacturing and selling of goods will die along with the CD. I'm interested in alternative means of distribution, including mobile apps but also new physical embodiments (something perhaps that uses USB or SD or whatever). I don't want to see the object-ness of "records" gone, but expanded.
