Labels dissatisfied with MySpace Music performance
“….With Apple dominating online music retail, MySpace Music is seen as a potential new opportunity to generate sales.

Yes, but I think it’s even simpler than that. It basically comes down to the time/money balancing act. The less time one has, the more likely they are to gravitate to a paid service like iTunes. The more time one has, the more likely they are to use P2P networks. Maybe there’s something in the middle — say $0.50 per tune. Then again, maybe the P2P users can never be enticed (at any price) to pay for downloads.
