Music distribution & retailing is changing rapidly. Online music distribution is already revolutionising the music industry, and mobile music distribution may have the same impact. Mobile ringtone sales, by many analyst’s estimates, already account for 10% of the global music market. With the recent introduction of real tones and ring back tones, the ringtone share of the total global music market may continue to rise dramatically in the near future.
