I'm thinking the way to make a quick buck now is to start a streaming music company and wait for Apple to buy you. :)

lol.

But to be honest Lala was nothing to Spotify. If you experience what they offer, you can see why Apple would want them. Spotify's the best music streaming service around, and no-one can really compare. The only wonder is how they make money out of seemingly giving tracks away for free.

Spot a threat to your business and buy it, thus nullifying the threat. Classic Apple.
