It's also important to note that a lot of artists don't make money buy simply moving units. Honestly, selling 20,000 copies of a non-pop non-rap album is a pretty big deal.

A mildly technical assistant could get some simple iOS functionality up for a band; maybe not on the scale of bjork's app, but there should never be a reason to stay out of the mobile market. It's too integrated in modern culture to safely ignore. You want a great million-dollar start-up idea? Be the first company that app-ifies albums.
