There is no profit to be made selling canned music. It is freely
available and it belongs to everyone.
Then, there's no profit in selling ( commercial ) radio either.
It's freely available, and belongs to everyone.

- The point is that radio needs compelling exclusive content.
- Canned music is not the killer app.

David,

AM Mono 'Canned' Music in the 1940s was a "Killer App".

FM Stereo 'Canned' Music in the 1970s was a "Killer App".

iPod Personalized Digital Stereo 'Canned' Music in the 2000s
is a "Killer App". A Music Library in the Palm of your Hand.

-BUT- Most AM/FM "Music" Radio Stations offer more than
just Music in their All Music Formats; and this 'extra'
Content for many Listeners makes AM/FM Radio the preferred
'choice' of many Listeners - Who Choose Radio.

"The Extras" Make AM/FM Radio Music Formats Better Than An iPod

The Extras : News + Weather + Traffic + Info + Stuff

yes i heard it on the 'free' over-the-air radio ~ RHF

- Who still does news?

Most AM & FM Radio Stations still "Do-the-News"
in some form or fashion.

- The weather is obvious.

DOH - Not Beyond "Rain Drops Keep Falling On My Head" !
