"It's nice to see steps in the right direction (as Fred mentioned, a free, comprehensive on-demand streaming service), especially from big players. I agree with you, however, that it's more than concept: it's execution. The MySpace Music homepage is atrocious (since MySpace is known for their great UI), the exclusion of indie labels and artists is disappointing, and I'd much prefer it if they focused on just letting me find whatever music I want to listen to and share rather than trying to portal me through advertisements/sponsored content. Eh. Sites like HypeM, Last.fm, and Grooveshark (full disclosure: I work there) all offer fully-fledged content that isn't hindered by interests of major labels, music-oriented UI, and much easier ways to find music you want and playlist/share/discover. Again, a step in the right direction, but so far the wrong product for the right problem. -Ben" - ben
