Goodnight from The Digital Music Weblog

The Digital Music Weblog is retiring from active duty as of today. I'd like to say a huge note of thanks to everyone who has helped or contributed to this fantastic blog since its launch in 2004. TDMW has seen some brilliant bloggers and has been a launching pad for many among the ranks of Weblogs, Inc; I will always be proud to say I'm one of them.

TDMW may be retiring but, I will continue to write for other Weblogs, Inc sites. You can still read my work, along with a stable of other great bloggers, on Download Squad.

Thanks to everyone who made TDMW a great place to be! Some high-points on TDMW from our last year.

3. Sorry to see you go. This blog was one of the few with original content on those issues.

At least it looks like some things might also show up in your new blog :)

Thanks for all the insightful articles so far!

4. That's so sad to know. You guys have wonderful post . It has been also my habit to check your blog and make some good comments if I want to. And to tell you frankly, every post had always persuaded me to read and comment more. whatever it is.. I hope that you'll get all your heart's desire with God's guidance. Till then... :)

5. You will be missed. I always enjoyed your point of view in a discussion that has too few voices. I'd like to invite you readers to check out my own little music industry blog HYPEBOT - http://www.hypebot.com

6. That's a shame. I always thought this was a great blog waiting to happen. It just needed better writing.

7. Grant (and others) --

Sorry to hear it's coming to an end -- TDMW has been a daily read of mine for many months!

I'll second Bruce's recommendation for HYPEBOT, and make a plug for a blog of mine that covers some of the same ground, Digital Audio Insider:

Thanks for all of the great posts!
