<title>Three times in visit to "Mother" may be the charm for Britney Spears</title>
<link>http://music.moldova.org/stiri/eng/118437/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Three times may be the charm for Britney Spears and &quot;How I Met Your Mother&quot;, relates Reuters reports.&nbsp;

With Spears making her second guest appearance on the abruptly popular CBS comedy, the show's co-creator, Craig Thomas, tells THR.com that Monday's episode was written to leave the door open for the pop singer to make a return appearance next season. 

&quot;She was better than the first time, and I think the fans will enjoy it because her return answers a larger mystery set up earlier in the series,&quot; Thomas said. &quot;So there's a good plot reason why she's there. And when people watch Britney's second appearance on the show they'll see that the door is still open for her to come back.]]></description>

<title>Music industry hopes upgrades boost mobile sector</title>
<link>http://music.moldova.org/stiri/eng/118430/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Perhaps no single device has had more impact on mobile music than Apple's iPhone. While only 6.7 percent of overall mobile customers use their phone to listen to music, rising to 27.9 percent for smartphone users, a full 74.1 percent of iPhone owners reported using the device as an MP3 player, according to M:Metrics. 

According to Reuters reports, the majority of this music, however, is transferred from the computer, rather than purchased through the phone and downloaded wirelessly. That may change this summer once Apple unveils what many expect will be a new version of the iconic device, featuring access to high-speed third-generation (3G) wireless networks. 

The company has not made an official announcement, but signs point to an early June release.]]></description>
