A Broadcast Flag For Digital Radio?
A Broadcast Flag For Digital Radio?
05/24/2004 06:59 PMThe RIAA isn't exactly known for understanding concepts like fair use,
or that giving consumers what they want generally helps to grow a
market, but now they're just wasting everyone's time. Their latest
move is to
push for a
broadcast flag for digital radio, so that you may no longer be
able to record what you hear on the radio. In other words, just as
the industry is trying to convince people to switch over to digital
radio for the better sound quality, they're also going to be taking
away the rights people have enjoyed for ages concerning what they can
do with the content they hear.
Developing a URL structure for broadcast
radio sites...
Developing a URL structure for broadcast
radio sites...
06/27/2004 05:38 PMOne of the most common questions I've had about the Radio 3
redesign work that we've been doing has been about the URL structures
that we have used to identify individual episodes of individual
programmes. I'm really keen to address these questions with a full and
maniacally over-detailed post because I think the issue of how we map
broadcast programming to web URLs is a really interesting one, and
because I think we've done some good work here that other people might
find useful or interesting. Drew McLellan writes:
I see URLs like /radio3/showname/pip/randomcode which, as
I understand it, would require a user to locate a particular show
through the site's navigational system. It looks like there's no way
of guessing a URL. Is that right? What's 'pip'? That makes no sense to
me. My preference for date-based material is a path with the date in
it - like /radio3/showname/2004/06/27/ Is there a reason why a URL
format similar to this wasn't chosen?
So the first thing to explain is that Radio 3's new site is
particularly interesting and ground-breaking because it doesn't just
have a page for every broadcast, it has a page for every
episode. This is way cooler than having a page for every
broadcast, but the full implications of it aren't immediately easy to
digest. Basically it means that there would only be one page for any
documentary no matter how many times that documentary is repeated.
That one specific page then becomes the definitive home for that
episode of that documentary on the BBC and all subsequent information
or supplementary material that is relevant to that episode can be
stuck onto that page at any point in time. Imagine it as being a bit
like having an entry in IMDB for
that particular radio episode. It's like creating the basis for an
ever growing encyclopaedia of Radio 3 programming, and it should make
it really easy to search for information about a programme without
getting overwhelmed by dozens of versions of the same page, each
containing little odds and sods of information, none of which are
aware that they're all talking about the same thing.
Having said all that, lots of programmes don't ever get repeated on
Radio 3. Let us take as an example, "Morning on 3". This is basically
the equivalent of the DJ-led shows that we're all familiar with and
which are common to radio networks the world over. These things are
just broadcast live. That's the whole point! It wouldn't make any
sense for it to be repeated. Some of the music on it will
clearly be repeated - just like any popular music radio show, but the
programme itself will not. For programmes like "Morning on 3" Drew's
URL structure (which is familiar to all of us who run weblogs) would
work perfectly. You can imagine very easily getting to today's
episode of Morning on 3 via the URL
bbc.co.uk/radio3/morningon3/2004/06/27/. That would be the
perfect weblog-like kind of programme, where every individual
entry/episode could only be connected to one moment in time.
But if wouldn't work if they programme ever got repeated. By
definition a programme that gets repeated has been broadcast on
multiple occasions in time. Imagine a programme that was originally
broadcast on June 27th 1985 and which is then repeated the following
evening and then again nineteen years later (tonight). What would be
the date-based URL for a programme like that? Well one approach would
be to go for the date on which it was first broadcast. But
what's the experience of that for a user? They've gone to a schedule
page for today (say) and they've clicked on the link to a programme
that's on this evening and found themselves with a URL from 1985. A
plausible reaction would be to think that you'd got lost somewhere
along the line and were on the wrong page. How did I end up
here?. This situation gets worse when you consider that since we
started capturing programmes on the 4th of June, any programme that
was originally broadcast before that date would be assigned a URL
based on a fairly meaningless broadcast date...
So, a date-based URL structure would work fine for programmes that
never get repeated, but wouldn't work very well for any programme that
did get repeated. Immediately, we've got a problem then, because even
though 99.9% of the time we know that "Morning on 3" won't get
repeated, we can't exactly guarantee it. Just recently on the BBC
we've had an unedited re-broadcasting of the live coverage of the 1979
General Election and the daily re-broadcasting in real-time of the
Home Service's commentary on the D-Day landings. So even those topical
programmes we've talked about could quite easily be repeated.
But let's pretend for a moment that isn't too much of a problem.
Let's also pretend that we can easily distinguish between those
programmes that almost certainly won't get repeated on the one hand
(and say they might work with a date-based URL structure) and those
that very easily could or will get repeated on the other (say anything
that's pre-recorded before it goes out on air). What kind of URL
structure should we use for the latter?
One obvious and simple answer is that we should use episode
numbers. The Radio 3 show Composer of the Week is
broadcast each weekday around lunchtime and then is repeated the
following week at midnight. This means that there are two episodes
broadcast on each day (another place where date-based URLs might get
confusing or seem broken). If we used episode numbers, however, that
wouldn't be so much of a problem. So you can imagine the URL being
something more like bbc.co.uk/radio3/cotw/episode/2345. This
would allow you to predict sequence and order and would make the URL
structure nice and hackable by users. Except then you have to think
about what you should base that episode number on. Should you base it
on the definitive numbers for that episode - ie. the ones that the
makers of Composer of the Week use? How should you source that number?
Do you trust that numbering scheme to be consistent and reliable? On
the other hand should you start with an arbitrary number? And what
happens if your system for determining repeats isn't fool-proof and
you accidentally assign the wrong number to an episode at some point?
The worst eventuality would be that you end up with episode numbering
schemes that start to wander out of sync with one another because
someone pulls and episode or a schedule changes. And then you get gaps
in your URL structure, or programmes out of order. Imagine a
circumstance where after six months of perfect running you
accidentally pick something up as being a repeat when it isn't...
Suddenly that episode has to be reinserted into the scheme somewhere
by hand, or you have to change the URLs for any episodes that have
been made into pages before you realised. The URLs break or what they
point to change, and that whole part of the site stops being human
hackable or readable and starts becoming institutionally and forever
broken.
Or you could do it by subject for some of the URLs. Again -
Composer of the Week is broken into five part weekly chunks. You could
have a URL structure for programmes like this which highlighted those
divisions: bbc.co.uk/radio3/mozart/part/4 or
bbc.co.uk/radio3/mozart/4. Here the problems are potential URL
length and namespace issues. And while they might remain
human-readable, they're not machine predictable in any way. So even
this kind of URL structure has its problems.
I want to make something clear at this point - each one of these
URL schemes could have worked very nicely for that particular kind of
programming. But in the end that's not enough. Because fundamentally
as soon as you've decided to use different URL structures for
different kinds of programming you're immediately in trouble - because
radio programming isn't a static thing, it changes and evolves - an
individual programme brand (say Choral
Evensong) might change format, change frequency or be cancelled.
Another programme might be created with the same name ten years later.
And each week there will be a number of specials and one-offs and
schedule fillers (this week on Radio 3 there were around seven
one-offs, including tonights zeroPoints
) as well as regular short-series or new brands. Suddenly there's a
time-consuming and fairly-skilled job that has to be undertaken every
day - which URL structure should this new programme use... And you're
never going to be one hundred percent correct. And so pages are going
to be moved and URLs break and all hell will break loose...
Which brings us to the URL structure that we went with in the end
and the rationale for it. Our first principle was that in order to
stop URLs breaking and to stop the possibilities of human error in
assigning URL structures to brands incorrectly (and to deal with the
possibility of random repeats et al) the URLs should all follow
exactly the same structure. Fundamentally, this meant that date-based
URLs had to go out of the window straight away because they weren't
suitable for every episode of every brand. The only URL structure that
we could identify that didn't actually break in any
circumstances is one that's based on an episode number or identifier
of some kind. After careful consideration we decided that we didn't
want to give the impression of human readability or order or structure
where that structure was inevitably likely to be broken or flawed or
mismatched with other identifiers. And we decided that whatever
additions to the URL that we made had to be short - it had to be able
to be appended onto the end of a brand name without sprawling out of
control. More importantly still, we decided that it shouldn't break
any naming conventions already used around the site or make the site
harder to maintain.
Which is where 'pip' comes in. We'd already decided that we didn't
want to have the episodes sitting in the top directory of the brand.
We're in this for the long-term, and we wanted to make sure that we
could guarantee that whatever future changes were made to the content
management of the site, however many new things or features were added
to it, we'd never have collisions between these features and the
episode pages. We decided to place all episode pages into a
subdirectory, and after much discussion of what that should be called
(episodes - too long, not always an obvious term for a news programme
/ eps - too likely to already be used and too close to the name of a
file format for us to be sure that it wouldn't overwrite anything at
any time in the future etc) we eventually decided to stake our claim
on the directory name /pip/ meaning (if you really want to know)
nothing more than 'programme information page'. [PS. In a few weeks
time, this directory should contain a list of all the episodes for
each brand, meaning that you can hack back the directories and keep
going up a level in the site heirarchy from individual episode to all
episodes to brand to network to broadcaster.]
With the final part of the URL - the episode number itself - having
taken into account all the problems that we might have with sourcing
and guaranteeing the integrity of the 'definitive' numbers for any
given series of programmes, and having considered the problems
associated with any and all possible bugs that might emerge (what if
two random programmes started to be considered as repeats of each
other and had to be broken apart - what URLs to give them? What if the
programmes were broadcast out of sequence oor we started running the
site halfway through the broadcasting of a run and had to move around
the episode numbers later etc) we came to the conclusion that the
actual episode number should be a non-human readable short code. After
much deliberation we came to the conclusion that a five-character
alphanumeric hash would be short enough to not break URLs in e-mail
and long enough to give us up to 60 million different identifiers. And
of course we've kept it as a directory level URL to future proof the
URLs against changes in the technology that we've used to build the
site. (You'll notice some index.shtml's around the place, but we're
going to clear that up).
The alphanumeric short code that we've got now also opens up a
whole range of new possibilities. Because these identifiers are unique
across all of Radio 3, we suddenly have a way to point to (and
potentially manipulate) every episode that's broadcast on the network.
We're still looking into the various affordances that this identifier
might provide us with and we'll let you know what we come up with.
So - in summary - we have a URL structure that is eminently
suitable for dealing with the breadth and wealth of programming that
could come out of a radio network - a URL that will shortly be totally
hackable to the extent that each and every level of the directory
structure will contain content appropriate to its place in the site's
structural heirarchy ( broadcaster / network / programme brand /
episode list / individual episode), and which is human readable as far
down its length as is practical. Drew's quite right - in order to
guess the URL for an entry you do need to use the site's inbuilt
navigational systems. However, it's almost impossible to be able to
build URLs for radio programming that are completely human guessable
and as reliable and stable as we're determined to make
them.
We're thinking five to twenty-five years in advance here, making
sure that the URLs of pages about radio programmes on Radio 3 could
conceivably last as long as the web does. We're in this for the
long-haul...

Do-It-Yourself Smart Radio Station
Do-It-Yourself Smart Radio Station
02/05/2005 09:12 PMA while ago I read a tip somewhere about how to make a few smart
playlists work with each other to make a mix of music for a smaller
iPod. After thinking for a short time I realized I could make a
perfect little ever-changing radio station out of iTunes with a
similar methodology. Start by considering what makes a good radio
station (I know, it's been a while...):
- Your favorite music.
- A balance of new and old music.
- A moderate variety. You want to hear some songs repeatedly, but
not at close intervals.
- New old music. Don't just play the same old songs, cycle them in
and out.
- Old new music. If a newer song is really good, keep it in
rotation as an old song.
iTunes has a way to handle all of this. The core here is that
you're going to have to rate all of your music for this to
work. Unrated music will not make it into rotation. It doesn't have
to be accurate right now. You can go find a favorite artist and mark
all the tracks as fives or find all your audio books and mark them
twos or something. Just get some ratings in. As your ratings change,
so will the station.

06/06/2005 12:15 AM It looks like I got a birthday gift and didn't even know it. A
fellow going by "sticktron" posted a nifty infographic detailing my
previous Do-It-Yourself Smart Radio Station post. It's
certainly a bit easier to understand when you look at it this way.
Note that the playlist detailed in the screenshot is unworkable due to
them all being in one window, but the criteria are valid when used as
detailed on the right.
This approach is based on the idea of a master playlist,
which feeds off of several pools of potential songs. Each pool is
created by a dynamic playlist–called Smart Playlists in
iTunes/iPod–and updates itself constantly.As your songs
get listened to, rated, weeded out, given priority, etc., you will
be continually upgrading the mix. It is TRULY

MSN Music hijacking radio station
playlists?
09/07/2004 07:53 PM
So far, feedback for Microsoft's newly launched MSN Music has been pretty positive. Until now. SFGate.com is
reporting that more than 900 radio stations have complained after
Microsoft nabbed effective copies of their playlists.
Although some members might remember the old adage that to be copied
means one is admired, Radio station owners don't seem to be seeing it
this way. When they broadcast on-air, they have adverts; Microsoft are
broadcasting online without the adverts, and without the stations DJs.
Rob Bennett, senior director for MSN Entertainment commented "It
results in a more pleasant experience because you don't have the ads
or the DJs." How kind.
Not surprisingly, radio stations across the nation see this as
Microsoft piggy-backing their hard work, and an unfair way to compete
in the market. MSN Radio is part of MSN Music, and was largely over
looked when MSN Music launched. One of it's features is the 'localised
radio', offering content from 1,200 radio stations.
The current situation is arguably quite confusing. Microsoft label
sites with "like XY.Z FM" and then list what Microsoft
describe as a factual piece of information - the name - rather than a
trademark. One can't but wonder, if the tables were turned, would
there be trademark cease and desist letters being sealed?

Birth of a label-sanctioned pirate radio

05/02/2004 05:43 AM
In the 1960s radio sucked badly; even worse than it does today. There
were no rock stations. The only rock and roll was played on the AM pop
station, and sparingly, at that. FM was relatively new, and the FM
stations only played easy listening, Jazz, etc. My dad listened to FM
95, which played Herb Alpert and the like; almost jazz, "easy
listening," boring music. There were two pop stations in town, one
of which lost its license around 1963 for a fraudulent on-air contest
that had people digging holes all over St. Louis, trespassing, etc,
and it turned out that the prize didn't exist. The station went dark,
and came back with new ownership and a country western format. This
left one bad pop station in the entire large metropolitan area. One
evening my dad wasn't home, so I turned on the stereo, a large
furniture-like thing, and was amazed that there was rock and roll
playing. Real rock and roll, unlike the schmaltz they played on the
pop station. What's more, it was in stereo!
David Byrne launches internet radio

David Byrne launches internet radio
station
03/28/2005 11:27 PM
Xeni Jardin:
Musician and artist David Byrne,
known most widely as co-founder of the Talking Heads, has just
launched an internet
radio station that streams the music he digs. I spoke with Mr.
Byrne earlier today about the project for NPR's "Day
to Day." Part of the interview will be included in a segment
airing on the show tomorrow about filesharing and cultural change --
but here are more details about the radio project.
XJ: How do you feel about the fact that some
of your fans are downloading your music for free?
David Byrne: It's a mixed bag. Sure, I
would love to have compensation for that. But the argument of record
companies standing up for artists rights is such a load of hooey. Most
artists see nothing from record sales -- it's not an evil conspiracy,
it's just the way the accounting works. That's the way major record
labels are set up, from a purely pragmatic point of view. So as far as
the artist goes -- who cares? I don't see much money from record sales
anway, so I don't really care how people are getting it.
XJ: You've said that from an artist's
perspective, one creative challenge of a cultural shift towards
downloading individual songs is that when we're choosing what to
download -- whether for free, or from fee-based services -- we tend to
pick tunes we already know we like. Can you explain what you mean?
DB: I notice that the work of mine that
tends to be downloaded most is the typical stuff, the hit singles,
older Talking Heads material. From a creative point of view, the
downside of that is that it becomes a kind of lowest common
denominator -- you might not have as much of an opportunity to hear
the full range of an artist's work as when you're buying an album.
There's value in being exposed to things you didn't know you want.
When you walk down the street, you have experiences that are unplanned
and accidental that may expose you to new ideas, new things... it
isn't just a matter of running an errand, or acheiving a specific
goal. It's about the accidental things that happen to you along the
way.
XJ: So online radio is one way to invite
that sort of pleasant accident?
DB: I think so.
XJ: How tough was it to put the radio
project together?
DB: I was surprised at how easy it was.
There were legal issues to consider, licensing fees to be paid. But
there are a couple of companies out there who will do licensing for
you, and the fees weren't too prohibitive. Probably a larger fee than
an individual would be happy paying. The fee range means it's not like
everyone will be happy to put the contents of their ipods online any
time soon -- legally, anyway.
XJ: How do you find the music you like?
DB: Often, I buy CDs online. I like to
listen to a sample, see if it lives up to what I've heard. Usually
word of mouth or a review sends me looking. I've also downloaded -- I
guess you could say, illegally downloaded some songs, not that I do
this all the time -- to get an idea of how something sounds,
particularly if it's hard to find a decent sample at an online store.
XJ: What will we hear on Radio David Byrne?
DB: Basically, whatever I'm listening
to. I'll update it every couple of weeks. People sometimes ask me what
I'm listening to, and I'll reel off a list of records. About halfway
through the list, their eyes usually glaze over, and it's apparent
they've never heard of the artists. So I thought -- well, let's make
this easy. If people have any curiosity, let's make that stuff
available, let people see for themselves what they think.

regime has gone back on the air. Every night, a commentator stands on
the roof of his now-useless radio-station and reads the news over a
megaphone to an audience of hundreds.
Every evening, about 300 people gather on a roadside in Biratnagar,
500 kilometers (310 miles) east of Katmandu to listen to Keshav
Bhattarai read out the news from an open air studio on the roof of a
narrow, three-story building.
As well as spreading the news, the service stands for a free media,
Bhattarai tells his audience, a motley collection of politicians,
teachers, students, traders and anyone who just happens to be passing.
