The Digital Music Survey by Entertainment Media Research (and,apparently, Olswang) covers many interesting areas, from MP3 players toDRM to illegal downloading. There's a 106-page PDF with a rich set offigures available for free download from Entertainment Media Research's site. I'm going to focus here on a couple of the findings concerning discovery and sharing of music.
The chart on the right shows the different ways in which people find out about new music. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: don't write off radio (outside the US, at least).
The proportion of people discovering music via community sites like MySpace and Bebo is only 1 in 25.
