like rain whispers mist

For nearly a year MediaMaster has been dwindling on life support as the founder and original programmers left for other, more economically viable, projects. And it looks like as of March first or so the domain has reverted to an open domain name.

Hence, all previous posts no longer feature the ability to hear the music at hand. This is also partially the reason as to why there has been no activity here simply because it has been a week to week thing at MediaMaster.

From a post on January 22, 2009 (now only available through Google Cache):

There are many other complexities to the business as well and one can point the finger at our friends the record labels. Their lawyers have created such a swamp of legal complexity from the old days that just does not fit in the new world. Funders of businesses are afraid of funding them and big companies do not take a risk that they might succeed and give the labels a new model for revenue.
