Audioscrobbler 04/28/2004 04:06 PM

Audioscrobbler is an amazing community music tracking application that is really starting to gain some steam. The premise is pretty simple, you run a small app on your deskop which sends information about what songs you are playing on your computer's MP3/CD player. Now that they have thousands of regular users, they aggregate the information and produce weekly charts and allow even record-at-home musicians to see who is listening to their music.

To promote more interesting uses of the data, they also offer it for download (anonymous data -- user details are stripped) to developers, under a Creative Commons license. This makes perfect sense, as they don't want users and developers to have to wait for Audioscrobbler to program new features or views of the data. With the license they can open it up to anyone that is interested in doing cool stuff with it, but they also want to protect the data from being exploited for commercial reasons and resold.

This originally started as a student project for a computer science course and a little over a year later it's turning into a bustling community that may someday rival things like pop music charts and sales data.

MetaBrainz goes 501(c)3 and announces
board


MetaBrainz goes 501(c)3 and announces
board
04/19/2005 03:56 AM
The MetaBrainz Foundation is a 501.(c).3 tax-exempt non-profit based in San Luis Obispo, California that operates the MusicBrainz project.

MusicBrainz is a user maintained community music metadatabase. Music metadata is information such as the name of an artist, the name of an album and list of tracks that appear on an album. MusicBrainz collects this information about music and makes it available to the public.

With the creation of the MetaBrainz Foundation, the MusicBrainz project enters its second phase of life. In the first incarnation, the project was privately maintained and focused primarily on basic music metadata described above. Today the MusicBrainz project has the legal backing and infrastructure of the MetaBrainz Foundation, which will allow it to embark on a mission to expand its scope.

This is a very important project because, unlike CDDB, MetaBrainz is protecting the data from capture by corporate interests and if successful, will allow us to make information about music interoperable and the data will provide a foundation for this interoperability. This will allow people to share playlists across languages, meta-search on music across services, etc. I have joined the board together with Dan Brickley, Cory Doctorow, Lawrence Lessig and founder Robert Kaye. They are doing a fundraiser and we'd be happy for your support. Congratulations Robert.

Cory Doctorow: Today marks the launch of MetaBrainz, a nonprofit 501(c)3 on whose Board of Directors I proudly serve, along with Joi Ito, Larry Lessig and Dan Brickley. MetaBrainz will oversee and fund the work of MusicBrainz, an audio fingerprinting service that can fill in all the MP3s and Oggs in your music library by listening to them and figuring out what they are -- this means that if you make a music player, you can opt to use MusicBrainz instead of kissing ass at Gracenote, the for-profit entity that took all the info that music-listeners typed in to make the CDDB and closed it off and started charging monopoly rents on.
Recently, the MusicBrainz project released its much-anticipated Advanced Relationships feature that allows users to contribute detailed information about musical works and artists. These expanded capabilities can capture all of the credits that are typically printed in the liner notes of an audio CD, as well as data found in comprehensive musical biographies or discographies:

"With Advanced Relationships, MusicBrainz expands its data coverage beyond basic metadata and sets its sights on becoming a user contributed music encyclopedia. The project can now capture more information ranging from common knowledge to obscure facts about music. We are finally ready to incorporate the detailed information that users have been clamoring to contribute." said Robert Kaye, the Executive Director of the MetaBrainz Foundation.

“Following the discovery that several major financial institutions’ Web sites were being used to spread an Internet Explorer exploit, The Register ran the story, “CERT recommends anything but IE.” CERT’s point is that enterprises and individual users can reduce their risk exposure by using browsers that aren’t as susceptible to Web-based exploits. So, why are we giving malware writers easy targets? Why aren’t we switching to more secure browsers? When Robert Morris released his famous…

Step aside TiVo, here comes Freevo.

Reuters catches up with the homebrew PVR revolution with today's article "Step aside TiVo, here comes Freevo." It's a new overview of the home PC-based options, including Freevo, MythTV, Snapstream's BeyondTV, and Microsoft's Media Center. It also mentions the the Build Your Own PVR website.

Personally, although I've heard good things about MythTV and Freevo, unless you're fairly familiar with building your own PCs from scratch and running command-line tools, Snapstream's BeyondTV is the easiest way to dip your toe into the homebrew PVR pool. Microsoft's version is a non-option, as it can only be legally obtained when buying a new home theater PC, which typically runs $1200-1600. [PVRblog]

PVRBlog is quickly becomning one of my favorite sources.  Keep up the great work dudes!
