If you listen to broadcast radio you’ll notice that they keep playing the same songs over and over again for a month before moving on to another set of songs that they play over and over again and so on. I suppose it’s de rigueur to complain about this, but given the way that “popular” culture works I feel like it might be more interesting to speculate on whether a net radio service could save on bandwidth costs by caching the top 100 tracks on the client side each month. Or maybe bandwidth is so cheap that this isn’t even an issue anymore. (Though if this is the case then why are internet providers always bitching & moaning about it?) At any rate, it’s probably not even worth trying to pitch music labels on this, since they’d just assume you were trying to bullshit them.
