Some Perspective: Streaming Vs. P2P Downloading

Some interesting info from Compete, who has figures showing that online streaming (as opposed to P2P) is the top method of online music consumption by far (though, granted, P2P was up 140%). Imeem has now surpassed Yahoo Music as the No. 1 streaming music destination, drawing 10.3 million unique visitors in March, up 58% from a year ago. Yahoo placed second at 9.7 million, and AOL came third with about half that number, 4.6 million. In seventh place came the music blogs (in aggregate (tracked by Hype Machine)), who pulled a total of 2.3 million uniques (up 148%).
