  • Music Reports will be handling lyrics-related licensing and reporting for TuneWiki, according to details tipped to Digital Music News this morning.  Expect a broader announcement tomorrow.
  • MySpace Music is now showcasing Taio Cruz, Janelle Monáe, AM Taxi and Delphic through its "Introducing" discovery series.
  • In the face of a possible court order requiring filtered results, isoHunt is now redirecting US-based traffic to "isoHunt Lite."  The surprisingly usable, torrent-focused search engine queries the broader web, instead of isoHunt-collected torrent links.
  • AOL is looking to shutter to sell-off Bebo, according to correspondence and filings now emerging.  The social network was purchased two years ago for $850 million.
  • The Harry Fox Agency has promoted Maurice Russell to Senior Vice President Licensing, Collections and Business Affairs.  Russell will report to HFA President and CEO Gary Churgin.
  • Wall Street edged downward in early trading, and music stocks were mixed.  Stay tuned for a complete, post-bell wrap.
