Musicmatch Jukebox Now Tenth Most Popular Internet Application

Musicmatch: "Musicmatch, Inc., a leader in personalized music software and services, today announced that its Musicmatch Jukebox software is one of the top ten most used online applications in February 2004. The new usage numbers come from Nielsen//NetRatings, which released data on customer usage of both digital music software and all online applications overall. February 2004 Nielson//NetRatings data confirms Musicmatch continues to be the most popular music-focused media player among PC users, with nearly nine times more users than Apple iTunes. With a 32 percent increase in market share over the past six months, Musicmatch has achieved its all time market share high."

Interesting, but it hides a few facts. How many of these users are buying music or paying for Musicmatch's subscription service? Arguably, Apple, with paid music downloads, and RealNetworks, with paid subscribers, are doing "better" than Musicmatch where it really counts.
