I realize that this could be a big development job for them - but then they have a product that produces income without having to pay licensing fees - and there'd be less bandwidth required so it might pay for itself. It'd also be something they could provide into all markets, even when they hadn't yet negotiated licensing agreements so they could start marketing pre licensing.
I'm guessing that track identification is where the bulk of the work would be. I -think- there are already some music fingerprinting algorithms out there - but they could start out just assuming tag info is correct and go from there. Maybe they could work a deal with MusicBrainz or the current owner of MusicIP. Once they had something like this, I'd hope to also be able to say "I'm looking for new music like this track/artist/album - don't play anything already in my library". And I'd love to be able to switch between a MusicIP mix and a Pandora mix. -- bobkoure ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71602 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
