Show timeline:
00:50 Guest introduction
01:39 Pandora's Q2 earnings, is company's business model sustainable?
04:45 Pandora under pressure due to iTunes Radio. Will lifting the monthly cap of 40 hours for mobile listeners in the US put them in a better position?
09:10 Rise in viewers this year for the VMA's up by 66% compared to last year. Is the public getting more excited about award ceremonies? What could be the cause?
16:30 Does winning or performing have more of an impact on sales in the VMA's/Grammy Awards?
19:12 Radiohead's producer Nigel Godrich follows-up on his streaming comments, but does this add anything new to the conversation?
26:19 PRS for Music signs a licensing deal with YouTube. What does this deal mean for YouTube, have they won over the societies with their current model?
30:40 Short break with Digital Music Trends' sponsor Sheridans
33:30 Nince Inch Nails went down a very traditional route as far as their releases are concerned, does this mean that the "majors are dying" mantra can be put to bed?
39:00 Pledge music hiring Julian Huntley as head of the Catalog division - is this approach going to attract a new audience?
47:37 Due to Spotify's new homepage interface there isn't a specific place on the client to check out new releases, how do people discover new music? We look at a number of apps and Darren talks us through Rdio's interface too.
53:10 Apple TV adds Vevo function, will 3rd party music streaming companies benefit Apple?
55:10 As of yet there are no advertisements, is this deal just a promotional one, or is money being exchanged, if so how?
01:00:34 Plenty of questions yet to be answered by Apple TV on how money will be made through this deal
01:02:19 Rounding up the interview with some of the events today's guests will be heading off to, in the near future.
01:07:46 Outro
