Through DRM and watermarking research I came to the conclusion that music ownership is an issue more relevant to Music Law rather than a Design Futures Project.
So I have decided to rethink my concept.
Through the project discussion I have had with my lecturers and class mates I began to see less relevance on a physical receiver box and started to investigate more along the lines of wireless technology e.g. Bluetooth and Cloud Computing - which I explained in previous posts.
And by combining this technology with ID3 metadata and acoustic fingerprinting I devised a new concept.
What about the possibility of a devise installed at participating music venues which could read and store audio track information (metadata) and when requested pass that information on through Bluetooth to a mobile devise.
The devise would not send the complete audio file just the ID3 metadata info. Once the mobile Bluetooth user downloaded the track info, the user would be asked or directed to a database website e.g. site similar to iTunes or MySpace. Once logged into their account the user could download the complete audio track and well as receiving optional additional information on the selected artist.
For example
• Selected Artist’s Previous Work
• Where the Artist is next touring/ performing.
• Similar artists*
• If it’s the selected music falls under a electronic music genre, info on what DJ’s might be likely to play this track. This would then lead to info on that list of DJs.
*lastfm.com is a good example of how a similar artist option.
e.g.
http://www.last.fm/music/Mick+Harris
http://www.last.fm/music/DJ+Vapour
http://www.last.fm/music/The+Teknoist
Information would also be available on the venue where the music data was first downloaded from.
For example
• Future venue Events / Listings
• Background info on the venue.
