Eliot van Buskirk on the online music service QLoud, which formally launched to much fanfare today: “QLoud’s success speaks more to YouTube’s value as an on-demand music service. As one digital music CEO said to me a few months ago, ‘if you want the best on-demand music service in the world, go to YouTube and shut your eyes.’ Right now, users looking to embed music from any artist in the world are more likely to find that music on YouTube than on dedicated music streaming sites, and QLoud is succeeding because it allows them to do just that.” [Listening Post]
