More digital music stuff, and a new survey from Motorola reckons that music fans in the UK are downloading more music than in any other European country. The survey says that us Britons spends an average of 75p a month on digital downloads, which is three times more than Germans, Italians and the French. A quarter of those surveyed in the UK said they owned a digital music player, including a fifth of the over-50s who took part in the research.
Commenting on the survey, music technologist Gerd Leonhard (what exactly is a music technologist?) told reporters: "The UK market is extremely ahead of the curve, because it's situated in the middle of America and Europe. British people use digital radio a lot, and they've adapted to iPod very quickly. Britain is definitely an opinion leader in Europe."
