Computers are taking on show business.
In this week's In Business, Peter Day hears about the music machines... the computer programmes that record companies are using to try to predict which songs will be hits.
Film studios are getting in on the act too. Peter Day wonders whether it won’t mean that everything sounds alike.

About the programme
Ìý We try to make ear-grabbing programmes about the whole world of work, public and private, from vast corporations to modest volunteers.
In Business is all about change. New ways of work and new technologies are challenging most of the assumptions by which organisations have been run for the last 100 years. We try to report on ideas coming over the horizon, just before they start being talked about. We hope it is an exhilarating ride.
