Digital Classics: World class leader in digital media broadcasting

Nice find MM....

This recent article also points to an expansion of classical music from online downloading.



I like this bit....

"This is all pure profit for us," said Mark Berry, national publicist for the budget classical label, Naxos. "There are no post-production costs - no booklet to print, no (disc) pressing costs, no jewel case costs.
"And really, it hasn't hurt our CD sales"


Another small piece making reference to the above article



1.37 million Beethovens and counting
Via ArtsJournal, a good piece by Marc Shulgold on classical downloading. Shulgold writes: "Naturally, we're not talking huge volume here: According to [Naxos's Mark] Berry, classical downloads account for only about 6 percent of the total of all music downloaded on the Internet." But note: classical music has had 3 percent of the CD market in recent years. So it's twice as popular on the Internet, and growing.
