Chercheur réputé, Mark Mullingam, de Forrester Research, dans son récent rapport, Music Product Manifesto, décrit le type d’expérience musicale que l’on est en droit d’attendre aujourd’hui sur Internet. Ceux qui y auraient un intérêt marqué sont invités à télécharger le document, sous réserve d’être disposés à s’alléger de quelques centaines d’Euros. Pour les autres, nous résumerons en expliquant qu’il s’agit de centraliser l’ensemble de l’expérience musicale en un point ; et ça donne ça : L’idée tourne évidemment beaucoup autour du Fan-club online, permettant d’accéder un groupe / Titre(s) par différents angles. Mais il n’en est pas moins vrai que cette capacité qu’offre cette interface à plonger dans un contenu / groupe est tout à fait intéressante. Les fonctionnalités sont à détailler, mais l’idée est là. Je peux jouer avec un titre, le remixer, (Mxp4 rode dans les parages), je peux interragir avec le groupe voir, des videos, rentrer dans la communauté de fan et partager avec eux via SMS, chat… Le contenu peut être régulièrement mis à jour, il peut conduire à des selections similaires, etc. En gros l’interraction peut aller de rien (pour ceux qui n’ont qu’un intérêt modéré pour ce qu’ils écoutent) à tout. Ce qui est intéressant c’est que si le produit est bien fait, la barrière pour produire du contenu additionnel est probablement marginale. A notre connaissance, rien de vraiment abouti n’existe à jour si ce n’est des propositions de valeur incomplètes, ou offrant des contenus très pauvre et encore… C’est un boulevard. Avis aux amateurs.(*) il convient toutefois de rendre ici hommage à Christophe Waignier, à l’époque patron du digital Europe chez BMG… Il initia le contrat qui permit de lancer réellement les sonneries hifi à grande échelle ; c’était en 2002…

Interesting post on the future of music  in the New York Times. Courtney Holt, president of MySpace Music, would not discuss specific plans. But he said consumers care less about how music is delivered and more about finding new ways to share and discover music with their friends.

SAN FRANCISCO — With its deal this month to buy the Web music service Lala, Apple may be pointing the way to the future of music.

In this future, the digital music files on people’s computers could join vinyl records, cassette tapes and CDs in the dusty vault of fading music formats.

Instead, music fans will use their always-online computers and smartphones to visit a vast Internet jukebox, where Gregorian chants, Lady Gaga tracks and the several centuries of music in between are instantly available.

For a small but growing cadre of music lovers, the vision is not that outlandish. Josh Newman, a 30-year-old technology consultant from Toronto who travels widely, pays $16 a month for Spotify, a subscription music service that, for now, is officially available only in Europe. Spotify allows unlimited listening to its online music library.

Courtney Holt, president of MySpace Music, would not discuss specific plans. But he said consumers care less about how music is delivered and more about finding new ways to share and discover music with their friends.

Interactive music ; hip or hype?

I don’t know if you noticed, but there is an increasing interrest for interactive music recently. At the same time, it is starting to talk about the future of mp3… One have to admit that the format is getting a little bit old. The first patent has been filed… 24 years ago ! there are [...]

I don’t know if you noticed, but there is an increasing interrest for interactive music recently. At the same time, it is starting to talk about the future of mp3… One have to admit that the format is getting a little bit old. The first patent has been filed… 24 years ago ! there are 11 core patents and a lot of additional one, but these 11 key ones will progressively expire ( a patent last 20 years) and become public domain.

The record have then thought that it is now time to try to be innovative (for once), probably because the remembered that they ignored the mp3 when it appeared back on the late nighties,. They then designed CMX… a format that remain largely a enigma, but as far as I understand which deals mostly with add-on such as multimedia content and images (either fixed or animated). Let us wait and see, but we hope that it won’t be a deceptive attempt as was Pressplay and MusicNet in the early 2000′.

The other project that has been rumoured a lot is Cocktail, which the inventor is no other than… Apple itself. There too, there is very little information, apart the fact that is will be a proprietary format, mostly focused on video bonuses…

All this may be a indication that mp3 is getting old, but the most interesting might be elsewere… the industry is starting to realise that people want more than music and that existing format can’t deliver that request. Video has been able to organise its shift (from DVD to bluray and even from DVD to Flash), so there is no reason to believe that music can’t.
