AskJeeves As the Music Search Engine?

So how are search engines going to capitalize on the recent activity in the legal online music market? One answer, given by Steve Berkowitz, CEO of AskJeeves: there may be a case for Jeeves to direct its users straight to the maker or producer of that music where a consumer can immediately download the song in question.

Though that kind of arrangement might be a way off, the company hopes to get the likes of Apple, Napster and RealNetworks, among others to tap its traffic base. In this way, consumers can type in a song and go to a site that allows them to download the song, rather than wait for a song to be shipped in the mail.
