There are hundreds of websites serving almost 2 billion global users within a multi-billion dollar online music market. Multiple ‘single-solution’ sites compete within their chosen market sectors, predominantly on a like-for-like basis, for the same consumers’ attention, all without any significant competitive advantage.
