Sansa e200 with RealHere's some bit and pieces of goodness that I don't want slipping through the cracks...

  • Live Earth Internet streaming sets record, generates more than 9 million Internet streams (remember, streams != individuals... but still impressive) [Reuters]
  • WCBS-FM, Cousin Brucie's old home, flips back to oldies format (...and you know you're getting old when '80s music is considered "oldies") [New York Business]
  • Music licensing companies are calling for royalties from... a coffee shop?! (this is a disgusting article... say bye-bye to live music) [Florida Today]
  • Sansa e200 coming pre-loaded with Real's 'Rhapsody DNA' (soon with social tagging - effectively creating a perfect-reception version of a music channel - watch this space) [Wired Blogs]
  • Sony BMG signs with Last.fm (joining EMI Music Group and Warner Music Group) [Hollywood Reporter]
  • Clear Channel's HD Radio powered Total Traffic Network now available in 48 of the top U.S. markets (look ma! no competition!) [FMQB]

In the Dallas area, RIAA wants licensing fees from a coffee shop that has musicians that only play original music. It's gotta stop somewhere.
