The problem I can see coming here is having any big acts licence this, because as I'm sure you know big acts make their money by selling tickets for gigs and selling merchandise these days not from selling the actual music on CD or Mp3.
I doubt any self respecting music star/band will accept a licence.
This could be good, but I'm hesitant because Yahoo has their name attached to it.

I love going to concerts and this may be a way to fill in the gaps between each one.
I agree with you about being cautiously optimistic, but I do look forward to being proven wrong.
