YouTube Joins the MP3 download business
Oct 9th
Partnering with iTunes and Amazon’s MP3 store, YouTube is set to unleash there new puppy: an in video link to download songs in music videos.

When people have a certain way to get music they usually stick with it, so for this to get a positive response not only will the person have to be a YouTube video watcher, but also a Amazon or iTunes customer. This may tap into a whole new market or fall flat on its face, only time will tell.
