Back 2 the Essence...

Yes!

Now this is what I’m talking about! Are you one of those music lovers who savors the process of buying a new cd and reading the credits/liner notes, while taking in the new sounds? This is an essential part of an album’s impression on the customer. Currently, with digital downloads, you get pictures and videos. Meh :-[

MusicDNA may be the answer…

With this new file format on the horizon, boasting up to 32gb of file space, you can get the whole kitchen sink with your download. This may save that sacred “ceremony” that most music enthusiast crave from the digital age.

Here is an excerpt from the BBC report:

” The new file, MusicDNA, can include things like lyrics, videos, artwork and blog posts, which will continually be updated, as well as the music.”

“It has been created by Norwegian developer Dagfinn Bach, who worked on the first MP3 player in 1993.

And its investors include German researcher Karlheinz Brandenburg, who is credited with inventing the MP3.”

Of course, the price and support from major lables may become an issue. We are watching closely.
