Music is a fundamental part of our lives, yet the vinyl record and the CD are increasingly formats of the past. The rise of digital music has been exponential and mobile is firmly part of that picture.

So where is this all going... and how on earth do you make any money from it?

The event was chaired by musician and mobile specialist Oisin Lunny with contributions from Vincent Roger of Mobibase, Ohad Sheffer of Play My Tone, Kim de Ruiter of Cheil and Alyssa Tisne of 7digital.
