10:40-11:40: Pirates Are Alive and Well
Even as legal digital music downloads show encouraging growth,  illegal file sharing still continues unabated. As sites are shut down and operators sued or arrested, the action simply shifts to other sites. How should the music industry respond?

12:10-1:10: P2P Gets Legal

Now that Grokster has been unceremoniously squashed, some peer-to-peer sites have gotten religion. The relaunched iMesh services bills itself as "100-percent clean"; Shawn Fanning's SnoCap is open for business; even former Grokster CEO Wayne Rosso is getting into the act, with his Mashboxx service. Can legal P2P take off?

12:10-1:10: Ringing Up Profits

With ringtones a $2.5 billion market worldwide, the music industry is waking up to their potential. We explore why hip hop artists like 50 Cent and Eminem are such dominant players; the outlook for other genres (such as inspirational, R&B and classical) and artists’ voices; the rise of true tones, video ringtones and ringbacks; whether the new Napster ringtone service will prompt Apple, Yahoo! and RealNetworks to launch their own; whether ringbones will cannibalize other digital music sales; and finally, how ringtone piracy – already a big problem in India and Asia – will shake out in the U.S.

3:00-4:00: Indie Rebirth?

MySpace.com got its start helping Los Angeles bands connect with fans. Now, the giant social-networking site has started its own label. Warner Bros. Music has started Cordless Records, a digital-only label designed to nurture indie bands. AOL Music’s DJ Sessions has released its first CD of re-mixes. Audio Lunchbox has created genre-based sites such as Pop.com. Meanwhile true indie bands and labels find refuge in and exposure on sites such as eMusic.com and MP3Tunes.com. Are these efforts the record labels of the future?

Sprint is streaming Sirius, Music Choice and customized radio stations over its cellular network. GoTV is experimenting with customized, cell phone-only stations like Pure Phat for Hip Hip, ALTitude for alternative music and Front Row to highlight What does the future hold for mobile music programming?

4:30-5:30: Radio Redux

Radio is fundamentally changing. While FM and AM will survive, satellite, online, cable, high-definition, visual radio, mobile streaming and other emerging technologies are changing listeners' habits. Business models are also changing, as subscription becomes a viable alternative to free broadcasting. We examine the landscape.

4:30-5:30: Can Anyone Take on the iPod?

Apple sold 32 million iPods in 2005, dominating the market for digital music players. While Sony, Samsung, SanDisk and others rolled out a broad array of new music and media players at CES, Apple didn't even bother to show up. What's the right combination of features -- video downloads, FM reception? -- for challengers to woo consumers?  And what must Apple do to retain its dominance?

9:00-9:50: When Does It Get Better? The Labels' Outlook

Piracy and other problems led to a four-year free fall in the music business, followed by painful corporate restructuring that resulted in thousands of layoffs and slashed artist rosters. Are the good old days gone forever?

10:40-11:30: The Subscription Alternative

Although RealNetworks' Rhapsody has passed one million subscribers, it remains orders of magnitude behind, say, cable networks. In focus groups, many consumers are still confused by the notion of music subscriptions -- particularly mobile subscriptions for portable devices. How can the public be educated and what's the correct price point?
