Music is available to the consumer, all over, all the time. Digital radio and Internet radio are emerging. Technology and music seem to have taken that relationship to the next level and the consumer seems to understand and embrace it. In this session, rather than looking at the file-sharing past, we will look to the new technology future. After the lawsuits, after the consolidation, after the first attempts at music subscription and download, we will in this session, try to evaluate what the new music industry is going to look like. The era of digital music delivery is here, but the details of how the industry will be structured are still confusing. What will digital radio mean? What about all those music channels on satellite and cable? What are the different ways that the consumer will access music in the future? And will they be willing to pay for it at acceptable levels to sustain the industry? Anthony Bay, Chairman and co-founder, MOD Systems, LaSean Smith, Senior Marketing Manager, Motorola, Inc.

First a (bad) drummer, then a (slightly less awful) classical oboe player, he succumbed to the siren song of rock and roll and synthesizers during his teenage years. At Dartmouth College, he studied music under noted composers Jon Appleton and Christian Wolff. Naturally, he graduated with a degree in economics. This was followed by nearly a decade in Los Angeles, performing in bands, producing records, dabbling in film and TV scoring, and designing professional audio products. He has been heavily involved in the world of Internet music since its inception. He is an active member of noted Internet music collective Chill and held the number one position in experimental music on MP3.com for six months. He was one of the first employees at Internet start-up TuneTo.com, where he helped pioneer Internet radio. He also worked on the business plan, products, and technology for what would become Rhapsody, leading to a merger with Listen.com. At Listen.com, he served as product manager for Rhapsody 1.0. He also launched Rhapsody411, one of the first mobile phone music directory services. Anu worked at Liquid Digital Media to provide digital music solutions for Wal-Mart, including their WalMart.com download store, Windows Media Player integration, and in-store CD-burning kiosk efforts. Anu recently returned to RealNetworks and is now Director of Product Management where he is once again working on Rhapsody. Anu currently resides in San Francisco, California.
