Here is an example of PlayMPE linked to musicians.

DSNY announced that they are going to allow band websites to use PlayMPE to pre-release singles off of a new album early to fans.
This partial song was released free in Jan 2012 without PlayMPE.

Earnings do not jump when software is launched. Earnings jump after a launch as the bugs are worked out and the sales process ramps up.
It seems investors have forgotten about PlayMPE. Version 5 launched in May. The 4Q reported included May, but the earnings did not jump immediately. Universal Music acquired EMI records in October, so all the EMI labels that were not using PlayMPE may start using PlayMPE. Universal has made PlayMPE their worldwide standard for music distribution, so they are rolling out the use of PlayMPE into more countries every year.
I do not expect a huge jump in earnings due to PlayMPE, but an increase is possible. In the Q4, revenues from independent labels in the US jumped 15-20%. This increase offset the drop in revenues from the decline in Market Research uses of Clipstream G1.
