   I think we will deffinately see this trend continuing but to what extent still remains to be seen.

   Personally I think there will be more polarisation between the “block busters” and “long tails”. Music stores will still be around, but I believe they will need to sell more volumes of the “block busters” in order to remain competitive while online sales will grow by catering to more niches – making the long tail longer further.

   Now imagine how long that tail could become if myspace offered a direct distribution channel between artists and users…
