Actually, it’s not possible to find music beyond the top 500 on baidu. I’ve tried. And tried. And in conclusion, baidu sucks.

What’s funny is that there isn’t a very diverse selection in music or taste in China, and yet it seems like they listen more than people here in the west. I guess people who live in China reaaally like repetition.

When publishing our content for China we also realized it was better to give it away! http://www.ysqm.org

Just a small insight for a certain demographic. Its popular in some neighbourhoods to use the mobile as a mini ‘ghettoblaster’ for mp3 or radio. Badges of modernity and so on. See you shortly.

About Baidu, while much of its music is provided without copyright protection, if you look back to early this year or last year, EMI cut a very forward thinking deal with Baidu, for an upfront payment and share of related revenue in exchange for EMI’s Asia back catalog, meaning that music available on Baidu is in fact legally available. Why haven’t other music companies followed EMI’s forward-thinking move?

@JC

No word on the uptake of the over-the-air service I’m afraid. I’ll keep my eyes peeled and let you know.

Very good post Ed, keep them coming. Any word on the uptake of the China Mobile over-the-air download service? Curious about the pricing and how Chinese mobile users embrace the idea of paying for downloads versus the less convenient, roundabout process of downloading via PC and transferring to their handset.

@ Jonny,

Western music has a virtually negligible presence in online/digital. If you look at one of the Top 500 lists I mention above, try to spot a western song/artist. You can see how much of a hill needs to be climbed. This will slowly change but currently Western catalogue owners find it very difficult to get digital content deals over here.

Wow..that Google/Top100 thing could be a huge change for the industry. On a seperate note, is it possible for western music to get into that ‘walled garden? JJ
