Music Musing

Does that band from Wichita, Kan., really have 42 million MySpace fans? Are free music Web sites a solid business model? How do I reach that lucrative market of older music enthusiasts?

Execs from Pandora, Imeem, Kyte and hundreds of others from the music and digital industry are getting together this week at the Bandwidth conference in San Francisco to discuss just such issues.

The annual gathering looks at how people discover, interact with and, most importantly, spend money on music.

Speakers include Alexandra Patsavas of Chop Shop Music, who selects the music for television shows such as "Grey's Anatomy"; Jonathan Poneman, co-founder of Sub Pop Records; and executives from YouTube, Microsoft, Benchmark Capital and Cisco.
