"" BMI reported revenues of $673 million for the 2004 fiscal year,
an increase of nearly $43 million, 6.8% over the prior year. The
performing rights organization generated royalties of more than $573
million for its songwriters, composers and music publishers. Royalties
increased by $40 million or 7.5% from the previous year. BMI President
and CEO Frances W. Preston said both the revenues and royalty
distributions were the largest in the company's history. ""

I usually do not buy a CD till I have at least heard it. MP3 does not make
it except for samples.

And here I thought it was the recession killing the industry. How many
people are going to buy CDs instead of food.
