free online music

Time was that you had to visit a record store to get the music you wanted. Later, a membership to Columbia House meant you could easily order music from the comfort of your own home, but you had to wait. Technology advanced and media got smaller, delivery faster. Vinyl records were replaced with magnetic tape, cassettes and 8-tracks, then compact discs and even smaller compact discs. Silly me, I thought other than making the disc smaller what could possibly replace CD’s? Well, as usual, technology has kept the pace and left me flailing in it’s dusty wake. Digital music has revolutionized the way we acquire and listen to music. Now when you want an album or even a single song, it’s as easy as pointing and clicking, waiting a few seconds for the download and you’re rockin’ and rollin’. Or groovin’ to the tunes. Or gettin’ down with the beat, etc., etc.

Oh, and check your downtown area for a local music store. You’re more likely to see a Starbucks or 7-Eleven.

Roots In The Fatherland

MP3, or MPEG Audio Layer III, got its start in Germany in 1987 when the Fraunhofer Institut began doing research on the subject and started the EUREKA project EU147. Karlheinz Brandenburg, sometimes called The Father of MP3, explains how MP3 almost never got off the ground. The code, for some reason just would not work. Luckily, just before they were to submit the project to the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) subcommittee, the group that oversees standards for the industry, they found the compilation error that was causing the problems.

A company called Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft now owns the patents and licenses the rights to its use.

The television market is witnessing serious fight for higher market share by all the major TV manufacturers. The television market continues to grow at a good pace but the scenario is undergoing a revolutionary change. Cheap TVs are giving way to costly LCD and plasma models. Further, according to one survey data, the online TV market in the United Kingdom is expected to be worth about ₤181 million by the year 2011. More and more persons are turning towards viewing their favourite TV programmes and shows in online processes. This is affecting the cheap TVs market severely.

Change to Online TV Watching a Real Threat

Television broadcasters and cable TV operators are likely to face higher competition from online video providers like YouTube and Joost. This will cut into the sales of traditional televisions due to the increase in computer-based TV viewing. Hardware manufacturers like Sony, Apple and Toshiba will claim higher market share with their computer monitor sales. Cheap TVs will become outdated and obsolete in a decade or two. Online watching will become the norm. In spite of the above threat, the online TV market growth will not be as rapid as the online music market. The downloading of movies and other TV programmes is not as easy as music downloads. Hence, for the next decade or two, cheap TVs will still dominate the purchase preferences of UK consumers.

UK Cheap TVs Market Share

Samsung had been leading the television sales in the United Kingdom for the last 2 years. Latest Gfk data release show that Samsung is having a market share of 23.8% in 2008, compared to a meagre 0.7% in the year 2000. Surprisingly, Toshiba had moved up to the second place, pushing Sony to the third position. The acquisition of all the shares of Panasonic by Toshiba in its joint venture with Panasonic for production of LCD and OLED TVs might help Toshiba further.

Still, the share of Toshiba is less than a fourth of Samsung and it
