A radio that plays music even if I just look at it? Not when I turn it on? No thanks.
"You are dialing channels and not only do you get music, but unlike radio, you get a story, and pictures, and links..."
This kind of undermines not only the radio analogy but any idea that a performer's page is about solely listening to their music. As I said myself earlier on in the thread, when I go to an artist's site I'm not necessarily interested in hearing their music there and then - even when I'm using someone's broadband connection. I usually have their albums for that anyway. I'll go because I'm interested in news updates, blogs, pictures and so on.
