K-os.net has been on ice for some time. It's on my to-do list to use HTML5 Audio instead of the Flash audio player, or one that works with mobile devices. I'm still interested in making more of it, and I wondered about a digital download service where you don't pay extra for WAV or FLAC or whatever, with some conveniences from SoundCloud such as the web-upload with progress bar and such like, but not for random users - more selective and trusted uploaders.
Not sure I've got the time for additional programming jobs presently. I've been involved in some other projects like Playdar, a music content resolver and I had an idea for a couple of other things, Electronome (recommendation engine) and Playnode (decentralised distribution and music discovery) which were never completed. I had thought about an alternative music distribution network using a decentralised set-up, some kind of peer-to-peer software.
Looking to the future I'm keeping an eye on developments in response to services like Facebook, which are very centralised and will never be in the true spirit of the Internet. I'm not the only person interested in this kind of thing. I'm sure that there'll be some more positive technologies to help moves thing in the right direction again.
I'm quite happy learning to make and making tracks now :)
Music and technology...
