``The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry estimated that digital music sales totaled $790 million in the first half of this year, equivalent to 6 percent of industry sales, compared to $220 million in the same period a year earlier.``

I wonder how those numbers compare to the 1999 projections we were getting from Forrester on the expected industry growth for digital music. Real time reality vs historical data...certainly the MP3 market growth met expectations.
