I wonder if acts will hold back releases once iTunes has a streaming service? Hopefully when it does launch it will encourage UK labels to release singles for purchasing sooner than they currently do. Of course the launch of the iTunes streaming service will probably hasten the fall in permanent download sales as there is less incentive to have to buy a track if it is easily available to stream. The amount of streaming that currently takes place will be completely dwarfed once iTunes enters the market.
