Startup Idea #50: Micro payment for music

AVC articulated this idea very convincingly. There is no easy way now to pay the artist directly for streaming their music. The proposal that is subsequently highlighted is very necessary:

What's needed is a comprehensive web service that I can pull the music I
want to stream from, play it in their player (like the tumblr player or the
yahoo player or the delicious player), have it record the number of plays
for me, and then send me a bill.

What would be even better is if I could direct a portion of my adsense or FM
ad revenue to go directly to the streaming music bill

What is interesting is the last portion where bloggers can channel their ad revenue to paying the music artists. This not only makes it less 'painful' for people to pay, but also solve the issue of payment system.

Would love to build such a widget based system...
