show moreThis week on the show we start by talking about Songkick opening up the beta of its Detour concert crowdsourcing platform to all Londoners and joining forces with Soundcloud to showcase gig listings next to the tracks on the audio sharing platform, we also cover Spotify's new charts, Tumblr's acquisition by Yahoo!, Google Play All Access Music (post-announcement), Merlin's latest digital music numbers from a survey of its members, Deezer and whether they are eyeing up the US market, Pandora working to woo artists and much more.
As usual you can find links to some of the stories we covered and also to the stories we didn't have time to cover in the Google doc: http://bit.ly/133notes.
Under the embeds of the audio and video you can also find the timeline of the show and links to jump to the stories you really can't wait to hear. Remember that Digital Music Trends is also available on iTunes and most podcatchers just type my name or Digital Music Trends in the search bar or follow the links in the menu bar of digitalmusictrends.com.
