Cellphone + MP3 Player = Cellphone
Some phones, like the iPhone, let you watch YouTube videos for most music,which is as close to a free, on-demand portable listening experience as you're going to get for free. Offering an on-demand playback service to give users the level of control they're used to with their MP3 players is complicated; SeeqPod has a great solution too, but it's still wrangling with Warner Music Group in the courts.
With that in mind, here are five ways the cellphone will change the way you listen to music:
1. Yes, interactive radio on your phone can replace your MP3 player on some days
2. You'll pay for music in subtle ways 3. The streaming services you customize for your phone will spread to other areas of your home
4. You'll still use an MP3 player from time to time, but it will have cellphone-like features
5. Music blogs will program internet radio stations I suspect that a day when music blogs start offering their own radio applications powered by these larger streaming services isn't far
