Musical visions dancing in my head
Vision time! I see a network of music sites… All running on the same backend software, but each independent of the others. They are all tied together by a central portal, which tracks all the sites in the network. The common backend provides several services, including an Mp3 locker for online storage, chatting/bbs functionality, and e-commerce. Think emusic meets mp3.com meets all the niche sites meets all music guide. It would be cool. All the sites would be able to determine their own focus and looks. They would set their own prices for downloads, could sell cds or not. Yet the music I buy or get for free or whatever is always in one place…. My central locker…
