This week on Digital Music Trends I chat with Darren Hemmings (Motive Unknown) and Tom Satchwell (Beatsontoast, Fortitude PR). It's a busy week as we tackle Tunewiki's closure, the rumours surrounding iTunes Radio and the indie sector, the idea of Jay-Z's Samsung deal being a controlled (& lucrative) leak, Spotify apps (where to?), Sony Music Unlimited and Xbox Music expanding their feature sets, Amazon to launch AutoRip in Germany, C3S crowdfunding, Saavn striking a deal with Tata Docomo, music streaming app Anghami reaching 2m users, Pink Floyd "schooling" Pandora in an editorial on USA Today & finally an interview with Michael Robertson on his new startup Uberstations.

You can find the shownotes with links to the articles discussed here: http://bit.ly/DMT138notes and below the show's timeline and links to specific points on YouTube (make sure you subscribe to DMT's YouTube channel)
