Annual digital audio conference, organized by MP3.com, MP3 Summit 2001, begins tomorrow. Summit, first held in 1998 which gathered couple of hundred participants, is held in San Diego and lasts for two days.
This year's theme is "Mobilizing your music", offering device and service vendors a possibility to demonstrate their products for digital audio -oriented audience. In heart of the summit is, of course, MP3.com's own mobile application set.
One aspect that makes this year's show more interesting, is the fact that now MP3.com is acquired by Vivendi Universal -- old music world rebel is now owned by world's biggest record company (and European one, just to mention). It's remoured that his year's conference might be the last summit -- it's hard to see the interest for this kind of conference after Vivendi has completed its acquisition of MP3.com.
