Radio has long been the number one promotional vehicle for music, but radio programming has become less diverse and reduced the opportunities to introduce new acts. Online offers a wider channel for introducing music and sparking new demand. Is the Internet a cost-effective marketing tool? What features and tactics aid an online marketing campaign? Do Internet exclusives really boost early sales for a new release? Will the Internet ever break an artist?
