Thursday 6 November 2008 Audioporting Concept - Positives (As I see it!) -Update

Audioporting Concept/Devise Positives Update

Today I delved a little into the broader socio effects of the concept on the music industry and socity as a whole.

• Making music more accessible will generate more revenue for the music artists.*
• Device will gather important import data which could be used by Music Licensing Bodies to calculate a more accurate system of collecting and distributing royalties to its members –songwriters, composers and music publishers.
• Music venues will be better informed to their customer’s musical preference and target market.
• In this system, venue customers could decide what the future listings and music policy of the participating venue are, thought feedback from users to the venue.
• Less well know artists could publicise their music faster and therefore create a broader fan base.
• Users could interact with their favourite artists easier e.g. find the artists MySpace.
• As users could find out what venues play what music, where and where, fans of lesser well known music genres could get to know each other more easily .i.e. human’s need to group as individuals -"The Roar of Collaborative Culture". This in turn will inevitably lead to other hybrid music genres – “When information is brushed against information…”

*e.g. Radiohead's decision to let its fans decide how much to pay for its album In Rainbows in October 2007 was both a PR and commercial success.
