The Streaming Music Middle Ground?

The Streaming Music Middle Ground? 04/26/2004 12:48 AM

My Slate Column on Why Streaming Rocks

"Last week Slate published my latest column -- which is an ode to streaming, that mostly-neglected way of getting digital music. I tried out the streaming service Rhapsody, and discovered that quite to my surprise, it rocked madly. With 500,000 songs instantly at my beck and call, for $10 a month, it suddenly became really easy to explore new artists -- something that is incredibly expensive if you do it by buying CDs, and incredibly slow if you do it by using Kazaa. Most interestingly, I discovered that I didn't really care that much about not "owning" the songs; I was willing to trade enormous access to a massive library in exchange for not actually having them, physically, on my hard drive. That's partly because, as I noted, ownership these days isn't actually ownership...." [collision detection]

From Clive's article, The Internet Jukebox:

"Using a streaming service such as Rhapsody also allows you to opt out of the AAC vs. WMA war, a face-off that is queasily reminiscent of the fight between Betamax and VHS. You probably remember the sad fate of the losers who bought Beta movies. The downloading services are forcing you to similarly gamble about which music format will win. Right now, because of iPod and iTunes, AAC looks pretty solid. But what happens if WMA triumphs, iPods die out, and the only music players available in 2014 won't play the thousands of songs you legally bought at iTunes? (Or vice versa.)....

Besides, put on your Jules Verne cap. Think about what it'll be like when wireless companies finally roll out broadband networks nationwide and streaming is possible out in the streets. Imagine subscribing to something like Rhapsody on a mobile device that lets you access any song, anywhere, instantly. What will you think of your iPod and its 1,000 songs then?" [Slate]

I wholeheartedly agree with Clive, and I've been meaning to write more about this for a while. I listen to Rhapsody almost exclusively at work, and I don't miss the ownership aspect at all, a fact about which I am quite torn. On the one hand, the instant gratification is so worth it, and I love having the ability to listen to such a wide variety of music. On the other hand, I worry that I'm helping bring about a subscription-based entertainment future in which no one really owns our culture anymore, except the people charging me to access it.

And of course, my biggest fear of all is that there is room for libraries in that future.

Trying To Find A Middle Ground For File
Sharing?
04/21/2004 04:47 AM
Found over at New Media Musings is a link to Scott Matthews attempt to find a "middle ground" to the file sharing mess. As with many middle ground solutions, there are things with this that are likely to upset either side, and I'm not sure there's much to be thrilled about either. Basically, it's just taking a Creative Commons style approach (where the copyright owner has the right to clearly define their rights over the song) and combines it with a directory/database system like the DNS system. The idea, then, is that you could query the directory to easily figure out the rights on certain songs. As an application of this, he suggests someone could make an RSS/BitTorrent feed of good songs that are free for non-commercial use. The one benefit I see is that this does offer a better way for musicians to promote new tracks that they're making available for free, as it becomes a central place to make such an announcement (and that, alone, could actually encourage more musicians to make their songs available). Other than that, though, it does little to satisfy either side in the debate. The RIAA has shown that they have little to no interest in any discussion that involves anyone ever giving out songs for free, and most file sharers just want to listen to music and not have to worry about any kind of digital rights.

What Was Actually Broken In AirPort
Express' Music Streaming


What Was Actually Broken In AirPort
Express' Music Streaming
08/13/2004 12:47 PM
There seems to be a great confusion out there in the world of armchair critics *cough*slashdot*cough* about what is actually being broken in the latest Great AirPort Express hack... so, here' s my attempt at summarizing (and simplifying) what's going on, based on what I understand.
In the ideal scenario as envisioned by Apple engineers and lawyers...
Step 1: iTunes decrypt songs purchased from iTMS. This step is omitted if the songs are not protected (e.g. MP3s that you rip from your CDs.)
Step 2: iTunes encrypt the output from Step 1, using a "secret" algorithm so that only AirPort Express know how to decrypt.
Step 3: iTunes send the output from Step 2 to AirPort Express.
Step 4: AirPort Express receives the output from Step 3 from iTunes.
Step 5: AirPort Express decrypts the output from Step 4, using a "secret" algorithm.
Step 6: AirPort Express send the output from Step 5 to your speakers.
Now, what was broken? Only Step 2. Which means that other applications besides iTunes can now encrypt audio streams that the AirPort Express will decrypt will play.
Please note that the decryption algorithm in Steps 1 and 5 are not broken in this hack. So this hack is not about removing the DRM protection in songs protected by iTMS (i.e. Step 1), nor is this hack about allowing other devices or applications to hijack (and play or record) songs that is meant for AirPort Express (i.e. Step 5).
Having said that, everyone is still expecting Apple to come down hard on this hack.
(P.S. Yes, I know I'm simplifying a little. It's not the algorithm that is "secret", but the public and private keys.)
(P.P.S. I am no expert on this, so please do correct me if I've gotten anything wrong, or if someone else has a better summary.)

Extending Connexion to the Ground


Extending Connexion to the Ground 04/09/2004 03:57 PM
Connexion by Boeing and Singapore's StarHub connect network billing: It's been a dream of mine since I first heard about Connexion that the business traveler of tomorrow checks their email at home over Wi-Fi (using DSL backhaul), handles work in the back of the cab to the airport by 2.5G/3G, logs into the airport Wi-Fi network, and hops on the plane to use in-flight Wi-Fi--all with a single account. StarHub and Connexion's memo of understanding is the first step in seamless connectivity. The kinds of business travelers who routinely fly distances that will be served by Connexion are the kind who want (and possibly need) continuous connectivity to keep their role in the business information flow active. This doesn't mean you want to sit next to them, on the plane, of course, especially once in-flight cellular becomes a reality....

FCC Decision on Ground-to-Air for Data


FCC Decision on Ground-to-Air for Data 12/19/2004 03:18 PM
Misreporting abounded today about the FCC's air-to-ground wireless spectrum decision: What really was decided in order FCC 04-287? That 4 MHz in the 800 MHz band designated for commercial air-to-ground use will be auctioned. More on how the auction will be decided in a moment. Reports were all over the board in describing the decision, however, partly because of the way in which the press release was written. If you don't know spectrum, as many business reporters still do not, then you can easily misunderstand what was covered. Many articles stated that the decision would allow Wi-Fi on board planes. But that decision was made years ago, and is why Connexion by Boeing is allowed to operate using Wi-Fi for its satellite-to-air service. For instance, this Reuters story incorrectly states, The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) forbids the cabin use of devices that intentionally emit radio waves during flight -- like wireless phones and computers that can communicate with each other. The trade press tended to handle this better. For instance, Stephen Lawson from IDG News Service, a man who has filed hundreds of stories that I've read, got his facts dead right. Mike Masnick also figured out what was decided, but even he errs in reading the order to indicate only data services are at stake. The two licenses the FCC will grant at auction cover voice, data, broadband Internet, etc., although not ancillary services which isn't defined, but which means using the frequencies for purposes other than air-to-ground, like filling in empty spaces in ground cellular coverage. I spoke briefly to Connexion by Boeing's Sherry Nebel today to help clarify what was decided. Stating Connexion's general position, she said, "The FCC did a really thorough job of listening to all of the interested parties and addressing a complex situation. We are pleased that the license will be limited to the intended air-to-ground use and ancillary use will not be allowed. And we now look forward to reviewing the commission's ruling in detail." There's that ancillary use again--we'll certainly hear more about it in the future. Nebel confirmed that Connexion will evaluate all of its options, now that air-to-ground is on the table. Reports have indicated that Connexion pays hundreds of millions of dollars a year in fees to lease the network of satellite transponders necessary to provide the extensive coverage needed for over-water routes. Adding air-to-ground communications...
