Connect
05/06/2004 11:38 AM
Sony
launched a noninfringing music downloading service,
entering a growing market still dominated by Apple's iTunes and
including a revised Napster .
Connect is based on a downloadable client ,
offers more than five hundred thousand songs, and offers
now-traditional pricing: ninety-nine cents per song, with a
subscription option. Additionally, Connect is appealing to
indepedent labels for more content. As with iTunes, a digital
rights management ( DRM
) application,
MagicGate DRM , restricts sharing of downloaded music files.
Connect's file format, ATRAC 3 , is
not compatible with the popular iPod portable music player.
The desktop client
is available for Windows machines only.

Xeni Jardin:
MSN Music launched today.
From a CBS Marketwatch report:
Microsoft on Wednesday unveiled details of a new service for
downloading digital music, placing it squarely in competition with
Apple's rival iTunes music service. Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft
will launch a preview version of its new MSN Music service tomorrow
that will allow users to legally download songs mostly for 99 cents
each. The service will also make entire albums available, the majority
of which will cost $9.99, the company said. Microsoft's push into the
arena for downloadable music trails Apple's hugely successful iPod
digital music player and its own iTunes music service. Apple also
charges 99 cents for each song downloaded through iTunes.

Penn State begins free music download

Penn State begins free music download
service for students
01/18/2004 02:46 PM
On January 12, the University of Pennsylvania began
providing its on campus student body free access to Napster 2.0's subscription
music service through a campus-wide contract with Napster. The contract allows students to listen to
streaming audio or "tethered downloads" for free. (Tethered downloads
are downloaded music files that will only play as long as the user
maintains a subscription to Napster, or in this case, as long as the
student remains at Penn State.) Alternately, students can pay 99¢ a
track to burn songs to disk or transfer them to a mp3 player.
According to the
Chronicle of Higher Education (subscription required) other
schools are watching the experiment
closely to see if the availability of free legal music downloads will
reduce illegal file sharing on campus. As part of the contract,
Napster has provided local caching servers for about 90 percent of the
most requested songs which is expected to improve performance and
reduce network congestion. According to Penn State Live , almost
3000 students (of 17,000 eligible students) registered for the service
on the first day, streaming or downloading about 100,000 songs. No
network congestion was reported.

Sony to Launch Music Download Service

02/01/2005 09:09 PM
The Register is reporting that Sony will be launching a new
music service specifically for its PSP portable gaming system. The new
download service is supposed to be in place by March here to coincide
with the launch of Sony's player. Tony Smith speculates that the
service, once in place, could just as easily be used to push video
content down to the device, which doesn't have a hard drive, but can
accept flash MemoryStick in 1-2GB sizes—plenty big for a couple
of movies.
I think if Sony's got a shot at the iPod, the PSP is it—it
can do almost everything you'd want to do while on the road, including
productivity stuff (if they release a keyboard).

CNet to FCC: Die Die Die!
CNet to FCC: Die Die Die!
06/07/2004 12:09 PM
Is that a pair of balls I'm
sniffing over at CNet? News.com(.com)'s Chief political correspondent
Declan McCullagh makes no bones about his hope for the future of the
FCC: time to fucking die. He uses all those pesky facts and logic that
isn't really my forté, but the essence is that the FCC has far
outlived any supposed regulatory usefulness it had in the first place
while continually overstepping its bailiwick to apply its
foot-dragging moral judgements to everything from wiretapping, to
broadcast TV, to fair use rights of Americans to enjoy their culture
how they see fit.

Then along comes Shelby Bonnie - the CEO of CNet - who I've known
for 12 years. Adam Curry and I did the pilot for CNet - way back
when (thank to Fred Davis) and we reminisced on old times.
But I knew why Shelby was there. He wanted to figure out what
1UP.com had - that Gamespot doesn't!
We also talked about MP3.com and.... well let's just say.....
Shelby's a great guy, but......
I ran into lots of other old buddies at E3 too. Stewart
