Next steps for the music industry?

Blogmaverick has some suggestions for what the music industry should do next. These involve creating a music search engine monopoly and a comprehensive mp3 portal with what he describes as a "holistic variable pricing algorithm". He suspects that the most significant inhibitor of such a plan would be industry egotism, but put another way, it seems to involve making the web less webby, which can't be a very good idea, can it?
