PHILLIPS: You may have noticed there's a revolution going on in the way people buy and listen to music. CDs, it would appear, are on the way out. And vinyl, well, that's so 20th century. Now it's all about downloads and ripping and shuffling. From the CNN.com desk, Veronica de la Cruz.</s>VERONICA DE LA CRUZ, CNN.COM: Many mainstream artists thought having MP3s of their music easily available on online. But one Atlanta based DJ and producer is using that very technology to his own advantage.</s>JON FOSTER, HIP-HOP DJ/PRODUCER: My web site is MeetJonDoe.com.</s>DE LA CRUZ (voice-over): Jon Foster, known as DJ Jon Doe, is using the Internet to jump-start a recording career.</s>FOSTER: Even though I'm still in Atlanta, Georgia, and I can't fly to Japan, or even if I can't fly to New York to talk to the labels there, I think you're able to actually, you know, cultivate your career and what you want to present to the world in terms of music and even your image.</s>DE LA CRUZ: Technology is making it easier for him to promote himself online. But when it comes to the digital divide, he still faces a few challenges.</s>FOSTER: There's a lot of different types of formats that these companies are using to deliver, you know, the music. So that, I think, makes things even more confusing. The most popular format is MP3. That's where, really, this entire revolution with online music started. I can be in the studio on a Monday night, get done with the song and mix it, and send it out the next night, and it can preview on a radio show, you know, halfway across the world. So that's what's extremely powerful for me.</s>DE LA CRUZ (on camera): And to find out more about the online music revolution, you can log on to our web site at CNN.com/onlinemusic. From the dot-com desk in Atlanta, I'm Veronica de la Cruz.
