Naxos Music Library Group Purchase!
Naxos Music Library Group Purchase!
06/08/2004 10:44 AMWe've finally got a candidate for a digital music group purchase at
SLS (soon to be MLS because of the upcoming merger)!
"Heather Beuttner from Naxos will be at MLS to demonstrate Naxos Music Library and
discuss a group purchase opportunity for members of the Metropolitan
Library System.
Naxos provides online, streaming access (on-site or remote) to more
than 75,000 audio tracks from approximately 5000 recordings, with more
than 200 recordings added annually. The collection includes the
complete Naxos, Marco Polo, and Da Capo catalogs plus selected titles
from other labels, with an emphasis on classical, contemporary jazz,
jazz legends, nostalgia, world/folk, new age, and Chinese music.
MLS will be holding 2 demonstrations of the Naxos Music Library on
Thursday, July 8. The morning demonstration will be held at the
Chicago site from 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. The afternoon demonstration
will be at the Burr Ridge site from 1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. You can view
the flier and register for either demonstration."
More info at http://
www.sls.lib.il.us/infotech/flier/naxos7.8.04.pdf! Hopefully
we'll get Rhapsody and the like
on board someday.
A related question, though. Last night I downloaded Mercora, a new P2P (peer-to-peer)
app that lets you stream the music you own to other registered users.
From the FAQ:
"Can I share music files on the network through peer-to-peer
downloads?
No. We are not a music downloading service and you
will not be able to download music files from other's computers.
However, you can listen to others' music through webcasting
(streaming)....
Is broadcasting music on the Mercora network legal?
Yes.
Mercora has obtained the necessary licenses so that you can broadcast
music on the Mercora Network legally....
What can I broadcast on the Mercora Network?
You can
broadcast any music that you own legally. These recordings must
originate from an authorized source (either created originally by the
artist or record label that owns the copyright), and are not unlawful
copies that have been downloaded illegally or obtained from an
unauthorized third party.
Can I broadcast music that is ripped from CDs or downloaded from
an online music store?
Yes. Music that is ripped from CDs that
you purchased is considered an authorized source and so is music
bought from online music stores like iTunes."
So why couldn't a library use the Mercora network to stream its
physical music collection? You could make the content available only
to your patrons, and you don't have to worry about file sharing. You
could even use some of the built-in social networking and IM tools to
communicate with those patrons, while ignoring the irrelevant pieces
like picture sharing. Theoretically, it should be completely legal,
although it means the library is dependent on Mercora, its resources,
and the ad-based revenue model on which it will most likely be
based.
So I suppose a better question is can library hackers build an open
source solution that does essentially the same thing, and can
libraries pool resources to pay the webcasting fees?

Does Digital Music Need Artwork?
Does Digital Music Need Artwork?
11/06/2003 05:21 AMDigital music may be great for distributing songs, but some are
upset about losing out on album cover art. Of
course, plenty of cover art is available online, and some of the new
download stores include the ability to offer cover art and
information. However, not everyone does this or feels comfortable
with it. There's one interesting suggestion in the article: a band's
website
is the new cover art. The problem with that, however,
is that there's no historic record of what their website looks like
with each release. With a band, many people form some association
between the cover art of an album and the music on that album. That's
much more difficult with a website that no longer exists. It is true
that (at least for me) album cover art is closely associated with the
music. I've found that to be especially true when I've ended up with
used or pre-release CDs that don't contain the cover art. When I
later see the actual cover art it often is a bit jarring, because it
doesn't necessarily fit with how I've been experiencing the music. I
recently ordered a CD online from a musician (directly from his
website) who I've been a fan of for over a decade. There were some
problems with the order, and eventually the musician just burnt me a
copy of the CD
and included a second CD with new stuff he was
working on (along with a hand written note listing the songs and
apologizing for the order taking "bloody forever"). In both cases,
since the CDs have no artwork I've been having a little bit of trouble
"picturing" the album in my head. I'd never realized that this
happens, but it seems that I very closely associate the cover art with
the music itself.

What's Wrong With Digital Music Stores?
What's Wrong With Digital Music Stores?
09/03/2004 08:23 AMRealNetworks went all Crazy Larry on us recently, kicking off a
limited-time promotion in which it sold tracks for the insane price of
49 cents per song at its Real Player Music Store. Competitors hover at
88 to 99 cents per tune. Why the fire sale? Real's trying to drum up
sales at its music store, and consequently help promote its Harmony
software, which lets you play tracks from the store on portable
players using a number of different digital rights management
schemes.
That pricing won't last, of course, because Real's basically selling
tracks at a loss. I'll be sad to see it go. Whatever your opinion of
Real, you have to agree that this deal (high-quality,
192-kilobits-per-second AAC files; $5 albums; broad compatibility)
looks much more like the type of music store we want than anything
else out there. Digital music has come a long way in the past year,
but it still has light years to go. This month I'm discussing some of
the problems that need to be addressed.
