When the music industry gets heated with talk of MP3s, digital distribution, and downloads galore, one very important factor often gets lost in the shuffle: It's all about the music, baby. This week, artists, industry leaders, and fans will descend upon New York for the Digital Club Festival, a get-together designed to celebrate (and perhaps make a bit of sense of) the avenues available to artists online. Many of the acts headed to the Big Apple for the festivities are intrigued by the opportunities and freedom these new pipelines offer, but most just want to plug in and play.We spoke with four of the more notable acts heading to this year's Digital Club Festival (formerly known as the Intel Music Festival) to get their thoughts on the Internet, what it might hold for them, and what they will do when they finally get to plug in this week.So pick your poison, and proceed.
