I have been saying for over a year, that the MP3 cannot be the last digital product this industry ever makes, and that everyone needs new, interactive, high-margin products for this industry to thrive financially.  Well, Apple is set to release a new interactive album product that is certainly a step in the right direction.

Anyone that has been reading this blog for over a year, knows that I have been working on a similar vision for some time now.  I am positive that there's room in the marketplace for multiple, competing products to thrive.  Moreover, there are plenty of other companies that don't want to see Apple own the entire next generation of music products.

I am in the middle of trying to get another music industry startup off the ground, and we are waiting on the outcome of our patent application (94 claims since 2002).  Choate Hall and Stewart is working the case.  We will be seeking investors next year, or we are willing to sell (partially or entirely) this intellectual property now.  Please contact me for more information.  Serious inquiries only please.
