Take a look at this list and you’ll be reminded just how exciting and rapidly changing the digital music space is.

EVDB’s Eventful.com is another site shaping music’s future. Not only with music event discovery tools, but with its new Eventful Demand service that enables fans to “demand” their favorite performers to come to their town and perform.
Remember, the web is not just about digital music delivery. It’s also about delivering the musicians themselves 🙂 That’s what we’re trying to enable, giving performers and fans alike the tools to connect and collaborate on events THEY want to happen.

Also look at Replay A/V – this one can record multiple radio shows and stations simultaneously (all formats, not just shoutcast). It merges the best of RadioTine and StreamRipper.
