Anything would help

Most radio stations are owned by ClearChannel or Infinity, so its no fun listening to the radio anymore. Large record companies spend too much on distribution and promotion, so they very rarely put out anything interesting. The Napster debacle is just too obvious to bring up again: we all loved it, record sales were up, and now its as gone as my unconditional love for Metallica.

If another venue can pick up the open source distribution of music again, that's great.
