Based on recent numbers, streaming music apps on the iPhone are a great place to be. Obviously, being able to call up any song at any time is wonderful, but based on the most recent — and sadly, public — news on Imeem’s finances, I can’t imagine a better compromise.

If you have any doubts that streaming iPhone apps are profitable, check out what Pandora did

Just a marketing fight for them now.

I’ve recently uploaded my entire library to LaLa (they already had most of my tracks do I didn’t have to upload them) and the experience of being able to listen to my music wherever and whenever has been great – a major leap forward in web-based music as far I’m concerned.
