An NPD Group study says the pace of growth in online music sales and the continued crumbling of the CD market will cross path by the end of next year.
When it comes to the unit-sales volume of music sold at retail – including paid digital music downloads and CDs – Apple iTunes leads in the U.S. with 25 percent of music units sold, which is up from 21 percent in 2008 and 14 percent in 2007. Walmart (including Walmart.com) remains in second position with 14 percent of music volume sold. Best Buy ranked third.

LifeWay launches online music service
Posted on February 5, 2009 at 1:50 pmWhat started as a digital hymnal has turned “the largest known recording project in Nashville history” into an iTunes-like service that lets users customize the songs they want. From the AP’s report on the launch of SongMap this morning:
“It’s a one-stop worship shop,” Pack said. “There’s nothing of this scale that allows you to do this. There’s software that allows you to compose music, but the ability to move those blocks around, the chorus or the verses, to change the key, that’s not really out there right now.”
