I’ve announced that DI Magazine is over and done with now.
I’ve had some time to think about it. These days, I am trying to refocus as much as possible. It all came down to the fact that Digitally Imported is really about the music. About hearing the music, and in a wide spectrum of electronic [...]

Digitally Imported Trance vs Mainstream Services
| Music, Streaming, Web | 3 Comments |
Ever since a major overhaul of our Trance channel at Digitally Imported, it’s been sounding really banging not only during show times but at off-peak too. Much of the older neo-classic Trance stuff has been removed.
Well in recent weeks I’ve been going to the gym and using my iPhone while on the elliptical machine. I’ve [...]

Mercora aka Social.fm has closed
| Business, Marketing, Music, Streaming, Technology, Web | 0 Comments |
Reports are on the web about Social.fm – the word is that it has closed shop.
I’ve heard of Mercora before, of course, but have not actually used it. It was supposed to be one of those music discovery services. Recently Mercora re-branded as Social.fm, going into the me-too game of trying to be a social [...]

Here’s a neat list of some popular dance radio stations on the Internet. Call it an experiment of sorts to see if its sticky that way.

The Freemium Model and the Music Industry
| Business, Marketing, Music, Technology | 1 Comment |
The Freemium business model is when you give away roughly 99% of your service away for free, but charge the rest of the folks for upgrades to some Premium features or services.
The free portion of the service can still be monetized, via ads for example, but it’s still free to be used by anyone.
I’ve been [...]

Domain Acquisition: iClassical.com
| Domaining, Music, Streaming | 1 Comment |
Here’s another domain name I’ve acquired in the last couple of weeks.
It certainly wasn’t the only one, I just can’t talk about many of the nice names as it would leave a digital footprint. Sometimes it’s good to keep services separately, if only for the sake of being paranoid over how Google likes to index interrelated [...]
