<>To most people, when you say that you think that Warner Music Group (nyse: wmg) is a great investment, they’d laugh at you. But I wouldn’t. I love the idea. Warner was spun off from Time Warner (makes sense…) in may 2005. The physical side of the business, which accounts for about 88% of revenue, is declining, but the real “magic” in this company comes from the digital side (12% of revenue). Last year, digital, which comprises both ringtones and music on websites like iTunes, sales doubled. This is the real growth driver for the company, and the management knows this- on the last conferenc...

Warner Music Group and Live Nation: Two melodious investments?
Filed under: Earnings reports, Apple Inc (AAPL), Amazon.com (AMZN)  I thought I'd take a look at two companies that reported earnings earlier in the week that share a couple things in common. First, they deal with music. Second, their prospects have been defined, in part, by the surge of Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPod/iTunes zeitgeist.
<>Let's begin with Warner Music Group (NYSE: WMG). According to Reuters, Warner Music Group lost 25 cents per share from continuing businesses in Q3. Analysts wanted to see a loss of only 16 cents per share. In last year's Q3, the company lost 6 cents per share. Not...

A source tells us that as a part of its original licensing agreement with WMG, Google agreed to pay $0.008 each time a user played any WMG music video. <>Multiply $0.008 against 2.97 million and you get $23,760 per...
