‘It is easy to see the beginnings of things, and harder to see the ends.’ –Joan Didion
Turntable.fm is a little miracle that does something simple and essential: It lets you play your favorite songs for your friends and strangers on the Web, in real time, for free.
I’d say it’s astonishing no one has done it before, but it’s not: The music business has a long tradition of resisting good ideas. So how did the Turntable.fm guys finally get the industry on board?
They haven’t. The start-up doesn’t have deals in place with any labels or publishers.
