This week on Digital Music Trends I'm joined by Darren Hemmings (@mr_trick) and Sam Taylor (@saaaaaam). We talk about:

- AC/DC landing on iTunes (finally) and the parallels to hold-outs now happening in the streaming world including Rihanna's latest album release

-  digital groceries, as UK supermarket giant Tesco plans to integrate recently acquired music streaming service We7 into its video distribution brand Blinkbox, discussing the role large-scale retailers can play in this area and whether the fact that they don't actually need to make a profit from these services could damage stand-alone music and video distribution companies.

- the latest on the Internet Radio Fairness act including some of the numbers unveiled by songwriters in regards to royalties received by Pandora

- finally we do a quick overview of the music industry events happening in the first part of 2013 including Eurosonic, Midem, SFmusictech, SXSW and the Great Escape.

This week on Digital Music Trends I chat with Martyn Davies (@martyndavies, Sendgrid) and Syd Lawrence (@sydlawrence, Twilio, Wemakeawesomesh.it) about Musichackday London 2012 which took place over the weekend of the 17th/18th of November at Facebook’s HQ in Soho. This week it’s well worth checking out the video version of the show as I’ve incorporated videos of some of the demos to showcase the hacks that we ended up talking about.

Now in its 4th year, we start by talking about Musichackday at large, including the spread of the event worldwide, why music hacks are more fun, the mindset of the community, Facebook’s sponsorship of the year’s event (& thoughts on Open Graph).

Then we move on to specific hacks from the London event - below’s a list of links including time they appear on the show - as well as lots of generic topics like the role of remix apps, status of Spotify apps, value of APIs, Radio and discovery, video-capture hacks and more...

- Screecha (19:00)

- EyePhone (23:13)

- Move It (25:33)

- Johnny Cash Has Been Everywhere Man (27:30)

- Podiki (34:30)

- Disco Disco Discotech (Hospitality Club) (39:40)

- Remix of the Century (44:43)

- Tracks In a Box (53:16)

Hope you enjoy the show and ‘’till next week.
