Music and radio on the internet
The availability of high quality digitally compressed music on the Internet has caused waves in the music distribution industry. The sale of music has been a highly centralized activity involving the record companies who record artists, distributors who ship music media items such as CDs, and retails outlet who make music artefacts available to the consumer. CD prices are generally fixed across geographic borders (government taxes and shipping costs differentiate one region from another). Up to recently the basic purchase unit of music has been a collection of tracks by a single artist or band. Though compilation albums of mixed artists are available, their number are generally low compared to single artist items. However, the music industry does not offer the facility to purchase in-store personally built compilations even though this activity is commonly carried out by consumers using blank tapes and, of late, recordable CDs. A common off-shoot of this activity is that home-made compilations are swapped or given as presents despite the fact that this contravenes the artist’s copyright. With the advent of MP3 compression techniques and the ease with which people can now send data over the Internet, near CD quality digital tracks are suddenly easily available for millions of people to download and store locally. The piracy aspect of this activity is greater than ‘home taping’ in that an unregulated distribution channel (The Internet) had been put in place. The music industry has little agreement on issues of digital authentication, or on how to decentralise their sales operations to take into account the new paradigm of personalised delivery over a network. Furthermore, there is continuing debate on the payment system suited to music download. This made us to think twice about above things than we choose Hammerstein Ballroom Tickets.You might choose Chicago Blackhawks Tickets for your sport entertainment and Jeff Dunham Tickets as your safe option to experience musics. Also listening radio is a cheap and effective idea of experiencing music.

The business of radio has been in some turmoil even before the economic downturn of 2008-2009. There’s a lot of consolidation, competition, and less advertising to go around. Add in satellite radio and internet radio to the mix with earthbound stations and the pie seems to be getting cut up into more pieces. The Radio industry will have to look to new technologies and innovation to get healthy again. iPhone applications are one of these new innovations to watch for.
Radio is moving in a new direction with streaming audio on iPhone apps. The mother of all radio iPhone apps would be Clear Channel’s “I Heart Radio” application, which feeds off of Clear Channel’s “I Heart Radio online streaming website of 750+ radio stations. Last count showed 150+ stations streaming via I Heart Radio on the iPhone. But streaming individual stations on a giant aggregator app like this can sometimes be slow with lengthy buffering times.
Another option is for a radio station, either land based or online or satellite to have its own dedicated iphone app. Why be one of hundreds or thousands of radio stations on someone else’s app when you can have your own custom Streaming Radio iPhone app with its own icon on your listener’s iPhone screen? Your radio station gets one step closer to your audience, and your listeners have direct icon access to your streaming broadcast! Add advertising to your Radio Station iPhone app for increased revenue and social networking features to build your listener community. Read the rest of this entry »
