Interesting stat.

32 to 1? That's potentially huge!

It's not potentially huge, it is huge. And it's also the reason my brain spins inside my skull every time you post something that I interpret as a call for a higher digital performance royalty.

As time goes on, webcasts will continue to grow as a preferred medium to listeners. Already some mobile devices are capable of playing webcasts; I'll be shocked if that segment of the phone market doesn't grow in the next few years. That's a lot of fans of jazz, bluegrass, and basically anything that falls in the cliched Long Tail that are underserved by radio now. I like iPods and the convenience of being able to program playlists, but there's still a need for learning about music you haven't heard before. I think webcasts are a really good tool for this.

as opposed to terrestrial radio that has never had to worry about performance royalties.
