Sites like listen.com are serving as portals for online music. I think ultimately for small independant artists this model will be the sucessful one.
There will always be a place for labels as they can provide a valuble promotion service. The Internet supplies the artist with an alternate distribution channel giving them more leverage in their relationship with their label.
