Music Ally has an awesome list of 200 digital music startups from 2008.

2008 has been a startling year for innovation in digital music. We’ve been covering startups all year in our daily bulletin, not to mention our work with the Popkomm-IMEA and MidemNet New Business Showcase awards. So we thought we’d round up some of the most interesting startups from this year.

We ended up with 200 everything from social networks to streaming sites to recommendation engines to mixtapes to online games to… well, you get the picture. They weren’t all successful (or, indeed, legal), and they’re presented in no particular order within their categories. Oh, and some are less startups and more projects from established firms.

But even so, we thought the list below provides an overview of some of the innovation around music that’s happened this year. Bear in mind this is startups or projects we’ve written about this year for the first time – so the likes of Imeem, Project Playlist, Napster, SpiralFrog and the rest aren’t included, because we covered them in 2007 or before.
