I’m inclined to believe this, from my own experience:
“Some in the music industry believe that Spotify and music streaming cannibalizes download sales. Not so, says the CEO of digital music innovator X5 Music, at least when it comes to Spotify’s apps…”

I’m really loving the SoundCloud HTML 5 music player… the 128 kbps stream sounds very good, it runs natively in the browser and on all mobile devices, the colors and size are customizable, and it’s got excellent share options, including working well in Facebook. The download/buy links can be directed to any source, in my case download.mikeshupp.com, where I can offer digital downloads (and choice of file format, including full CD fidelity 16-bit / 44.1 kHz) as well as physical CD ordering… and of course, there’s the feature of adding timed comments to the tracks.
Here’s my record “This Time” in the SoundCloud player, give it a try:
“The international team estimates that there are tens of billions of such planets in the Milky Way galaxy alone, and probably about one hundred in the Sun’s immediate neighbourhood.”
Very cool news… now let’s figure out a way to get there…!
“The much-anticipated launch of SpaceX’s Dragon capsule to the International Space Station has seen some delays due to the need for additional testing, but now things are looking good…”
