P2P Radio Gets A Boost
As folks worry more and more about downloading music files, unless their using the new Napster or Apple iTunes Music Store, there is a new technology springing up that also taps into the social networking category. The new software under development will enable users to share streams with one another as opposed to downloading. What's interesting is the the new MSN Music Service will do something a little similar, enabling users to view what their other MSN buddies are listening to, as well as tap into top radio stations across the country. But remember all this stuff is in development, so who knows what any of these services will truly allow.
Mercora is another company pushing P2P Radio, yet it acts a lot more like Launch radio in that users build a customized station.

this is like the service no one was asking for. Who's their market, other than RIAA lawyers? Who wants to have the restriction of streaming music with all of the difficulties of P2P?
I might as well download illegally.
