Jason Herskowitz is a self-proclaimed "music/tech nerd with a bad social media habit." At a young age he instantly became a diehard music fan, and a lover of all things tech. His career went on to marry those two loves. He started as an artist manager and owner of a small indie record label.  More recently, Jason served as Director of Products for AOL Music (Winamp, AOL Radio, MusicNow), the VP of Product for TotalMusic, the Sony / Universal Music joint venture, and then LimeWire. So he knows a thing or two about digital music. Digital Music Monthly’s Kenn Richards sat down with him to discuss the past, present and future of the streaming and subscription based music. And topics like:   - how connectivity on phones completely changed how we consume music when we went from EDGE to 4G   - whether windowing music is a good idea    - the ability to access your music on one platform instead of it being locked behind each music providerPlug in and take a listen to May’s Digital Music Monthly.

May DMM  \\ Jason Herskowitz, Hatchet & Tomahawk

Last week TechCrunch reported that a huge percentage of Rdio staff were laid off. Months earlier, Slacker and Rhapsody also laid off staff. This trend begs several larger questions: Are these layoffs just the start of a correction and we will being seeing more soon? Are we on the verge of a major consolidation in the online music sector? Are the growth strategies and business models at the streaming companies sustainable? The Deep Dive examines these difficult questions alongside startup founder and industry pundit J Herskowitz.

The Deep Dive: "What Do The Streaming Layoffs Mean?" ft. Jason Herskowitz (Tomahawk)

Jason Herskowitz, an outspoken technology executive, talks about the fractured state of the online music market and how music sharing could be improved. Herskowitz is a core contributor and co-founder of Tomahawk, an open-source music platform; he also recently co-founded a stealth music startup, called Hatchet Industries. In this episode, Herskowitz also answers questions like why is Pandora only available in the U.S.? Why is Deezer avoiding the U.S? Is the reality that launching in the U.S. has become too expensive? Can Pandora ever afford to become a dominant global player?
