चूंकि आज के समझदार और पारखी श्रोता अपनी पसंद की चीज़ें खुद चुन सकते हैं, इसलिए कलाकार और उनके रिकॉर्ड लेबल इस बात को लेकर पहले से कहीं अधिक सतर्क हो गए हैं कि नए एल्बम का हर एक गाना बेहतरीन होना चाहिए।
And since discriminating fans can pick and choose exactly what they want to buy, artists and their labels are more conscious than they've ever been of making sure that every song on a new album is as good as can be.

जब भी आप उपभोक्ता को उनकी पसंद की ज़्यादा चीज़ें दे पाते हैं, तो यह एक अच्छी बात है। मैंने पहले दिन से कहा था कि एल्बम के गानों को अलग-अलग बेचना (अनबंडलिंग) एक सकारात्मक कदम है।
Any time that you can give the consumer more of what they want, it's a good thing. I said from Day 1 that the unbundling of the album is a good thing.

चूंकि मेरी अन्य जिम्मेदारियों में काफी समय लग रहा है, इसलिए मैंने 31 जनवरी, 2012 से डब्ल्यूएमजी (WMG) के बोर्ड चेयरमैन पद से हटने का अनुरोध किया है। हालांकि, मैं कंपनी का निदेशक बना रहूँगा और इस तरह वार्नर म्यूजिक और उसके असाधारण लोगों के साथ मेरा जुड़ाव जारी रहेगा।
As my other obligations are beginning to take an inordinate amount of time, I have asked to step down as WMG's board chairman, effective January 31, 2012. However, I will remain a director of the company and in that way, continue my association with Warner Music and its extraordinary people.

एक पूरे एल्बम को रिंगटोन, वीडियो और अन्य कई रूपों के साथ एक पैकेज के रूप में पेश करके, हमने ऐसे उत्पाद तैयार किए जिन्हें उपभोक्ताओं ने वास्तव में सराहा और अच्छी कीमत पर खरीदने को तैयार हुए। और अंदाज़ा लगाइए क्या? हमने इनकी भारी मात्रा में बिक्री की है।
By packaging a full album into a bundle of music with ringtones, videos and other combinations and variations, we found products that consumers demonstrably valued and were willing to purchase at premium prices. And guess what? We've sold tons of them.

जो कलाकार किसी रिकॉर्ड लेबल से जुड़ा नहीं है, उसे आज भी व्यावसायिक सफलता आसानी से नहीं मिलती। ऐसे बहुत कम कलाकार हैं जो किसी रिकॉर्ड लेबल की मदद के बिना सफल हो सकते हैं। रिकॉर्ड लेबल की भूमिका आज भी प्रासंगिक और आवश्यक है।
Commercial success still hasn't come to an artist that isn't signed to a record label. There are very few artists that can succeed without the help of a record label. The role of the record label is still required, it's still necessary.

साफ़ तौर पर कहें तो सही, सही है और गलत, गलत है, खासकर तब जब कोई माता-पिता अपने बच्चे से बात कर रहे हों। नैतिक जिम्मेदारी की एक स्पष्ट रेखा खींचना बहुत जरूरी है।
Frankly, right is right and wrong is wrong, particularly when a parent is talking to a child. A bright line around moral responsibility is very important.

अगर आप आईपॉड के आने के बाद से एप्पल के मार्केट कैप में हुई बढ़ोतरी और दूसरी तरफ संगीत उद्योग की स्थिति को देखें, तो आपको मानना पड़ेगा कि इस सौदे में एप्पल को ज्यादा फायदा हुआ।
If you look at the market cap increase in Apple since it created the iPod versus what's happened to the music industry, you have to say Apple got the better part of that deal.

यह दिलचस्प है कि आईपैड पर बुक पब्लिशिंग इंडस्ट्री के पास, म्यूजिक इंडस्ट्री की तुलना में कहीं अधिक लचीलापन है।
It's interesting that the book publishing industry, on the iPad, has much more flexibility than the music industry had.

यह पारिवारिक व्यवसाय का एक नकारात्मक पहलू है: अगर कुछ अच्छा है, तो इसलिए क्योंकि मैं किसी का बेटा हूँ; वरना, मैं कुछ भी नहीं हूँ।
It’s the downside of a family business: anything good is because I’m somebody’s son; otherwise, I’m a schmuck.

मुझे यह अहंकार लगता है कि यूनिवर्सल, ईएमआई (EMI) को खरीद लेगा। यह बस एक ऐसा सुपर-मेजर बना देगा जिसके पास जरूरत से ज्यादा ताकत होगी... मुझे लगता है कि जब यूनिवर्सल की बाजार हिस्सेदारी 40 प्रतिशत से ऊपर चली जाएगी, तो समझदार नियामक इसे कैसे स्वीकार कर सकते हैं। यह न केवल लेबल को, बल्कि कलाकारों और सांस्कृतिक विविधता को भी प्रभावित करेगा।
It strikes me as hubris that Universal will buy EMI. What it will do is create a super-major that will have far too much power... I think when Universal goes up over 40 percent market share, I don't see how reasonable regulators can countenance. It will impact not just labels, but artists and cultural diversity.

संगीत उद्योग का इतिहास अनिवार्य रूप से प्रौद्योगिकी के विकास की भी कहानी है। प्लेयर पियानो से लेकर विनाइल डिस्क तक, रील-टू-रील टेप से लेकर कैसेट तक, सीडी से लेकर डिजिटल डाउनलोड तक—इन फॉर्मेट्स और उपकरणों ने न केवल संगीत को सुनने के तरीके को बदला, बल्कि कलाकारों के उसे रचने के ढंग को भी बदल दिया।
The history of the music industry is inevitably also the story of the development of technology. From the player piano to the vinyl disc, from reel-to-reel tape to the cassette, from the CD to the digital download, these formats and devices changed not only the way music was consumed, but the very way artists created it.

आईपॉड ने संगीत को चलायमान (मोबाइल) बना दिया, लेकिन आज आपको घूमने के लिए कितने उपकरणों की जरूरत है? आप चाहते हैं कि यह सब सिर्फ एक ही डिवाइस में हो। और लाजिमी है कि वह फोन ही होगा।
The iPod made music mobile, but today, how many devices do you need to walk around with? You want it on just one. And inevitably that's going to be the phone.

100 डॉलर को 110 डॉलर बनाना मेहनत का काम है। 100 मिलियन को 110 मिलियन बनाना तय है।
To turn $100 into $110 is work. To turn 100 million into $110 million is inevitable.

हमें उस गुमनामी को प्रतिबंधित करना चाहिए जिसके पीछे छिपकर लोग अपराध करते हैं। एक नागरिक के रूप में, हमें निजता का अधिकार है। हमें गुमनामी का ऐसा कोई अधिकार नहीं है।

यह देखने के लिए आपको एप्पल के आईफोन से आगे देखने की जरूरत ही नहीं है कि कैसे एक शानदार यूजर इंटरफेस वाले और खूबसूरती से डिजाइन किए गए डिवाइस पर बेहतरीन ढंग से लिखा गया सॉफ्टवेयर, मूल्य निर्धारण, बिलिंग प्लेटफॉर्म और ब्रांड वफादारी के सभी पारंपरिक विचारों को पूरी तरह बदल कर रख देता है।
You need to look no further than Apple's iPhone to see how fast brilliantly written software presented on a beautifully designed device with a spectacular user interface will throw all the accepted notions about pricing, billing platforms and brand loyalty right out the window.
