Cloud Music – Changing notion of Music Ownership
When Apple launched its iPod, one ad said “1000 songs, in your pocket.” Now the time is to get all the songs out of your pocket and listen then anytime, anywhere by just connecting to internet through your device.
Cloud based music service is the selection you should opt if you want to get rid of storing songs in MP3 player.
So will the people in future see ‘music’ as a thing they own or they will access the service when needed? Think of a situation when you do not need to carry your iPod with you everywhere to listen the songs. You have a service where you connect to internet through your phone and listen to any song you want stored in the cloud.
Definitely, it sounds great! But what is the problem? It is not easy to convince users to pay for listening to songs. For now at least, there is no cheap, cloud-based music service in the U.S. that gives you access to almost any song you want, from any device you want.
I think advertising supported free music service would be the best option which companies should focus on.
