Music Week has reported that we7 CEO Steve Purdham believes mobile devices will overtake PCs to become the primary listening device to access digital music in the coming year.
With the online music landscape changing dramatically in 2010, Purdham has given his top five predictions for the coming year.
They are:
- Online radio services will continue to grow in popularity and together with traditional radio will increase overall music listening hours dramatically.
- Mobile devices will become the primary listening device to access digital music overtaking tethered PCs.
- Music downloads will begin to plateau in the UK, and increasingly be replaced by music streaming and subscription based services.
- The music industry will increasingly look to streaming services as the potential answer to the crippling problem of illegal downloading. As a result, both subscription and ad-funded services will take centre stage in the consumer mind-set.
- Apple will at last launch its digital locker service allowing all purchased downloads to be accessed from any location and Apple device. This will quickly be followed up by an iTunes subscription service.
