Hi, I am writing a paper about the the "future of music" and the influence technology will have on music in general but specifically the music industry/radio/etc. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to relevant books, articles, or websites. I appreciate the help.

maybe beyond your scope, but Erik Baurnow's "Tube of Plenty" is an excellent history of television/radio broadcasting with a focus on technology.

Stephen Hawking supposes that the future of technology will involve us figuring out how to make machines that are conscious. In music, I guess that means we'll have machines that are "creative" in the same way we consider people to be creative.

My guess is that will happen sooner rather than later.

is also wildly relevant, on a legal/political level.

i second aarons recommendation of siva -- check out his book "copyright and copywrongs" as well.
