„It's a very interesting concept, not so much for the specific scenarios it presents, than for the underlying idea that if you put this capability in people's hands, they'll do interesting things with it. I'm not sure I'll like the music that my fellow train passengers like, just because we all take the train; sharing a public space doesn't mean we share musical tastes. Matt Jones, for example, proposes an alternative scenario, featuring stable, rather than ad-hoc, location-based music sharing :“http://Blogger.iftf.org/Future/000196.html - Cached

„As I have said many times before, the music industry will never allow a meaningful amount of money to be taken off the table by anyone else in the chain. They will always get the largest piece and will squeeze everyone else with competition. Ouch!“http://www.martinandalex.com/blog/archives/ cat_digital_music.html#000712 - Cached

„Interestingly, in portions quoted from a FInancial Times Deutschland by News.com, the launch of the music service has been conditional on the following: "Actions against file-sharing sites should intensify in Europe in the coming months. We are already seeing the first signs of this,'' Glaser told the paper. He added "European customers are still too much of the opinion that music is to be had for free." Mr Glaser also commented that the margins on Rhapsody's unlimited music service are greater than those on per-track download sales.“http://dwlt.net/archives/cat_music.html#000354 - Cached

„A consumer survey suggests digital music players should have capacities of about 1,000 tunes. Larger players go beyond not only the size most consumers want, "but also beyond the digital music that they own."“http://www.stargeek.com/item/105282.html - Cached
„Apple's desire to see the iPod remain the leader in the digital music player market got a big push on Thursday when Apple and HP announced that they have formed a strategic alliance to deliver HP-branded digital music players based on the iPod.

„ Recording Executives See Brighter Outlook (AP) The AP article says growing popularity of portable digital music players creates greater demand for digital music. Interesting. What I find even more interesting is where these devices will be in 2-3 years down the road and what the demand becomes when they grow up. Add a little WIFI and some syndicated messaging. In the end digital music is just another audio message. Right? Recording Executives See Brighter Outlook (AP).“http://radio.weblogs.com/0100368/2003/12/ 09.html#a1600 - Cached

„For starters, there are MP3, MP3 Pro, WMA, AAC and a format called Atrac that is used almost exclusively by Sony. Each format has its advantages and peculiarities, and not all players read all formats.“http://www.blueverticalstudio.com/05/archives/ 000425.html - Cached
„Stellan told us that working with Paul Schrader whose "character-driven" work he admires, was one of the first incentives for him to take the role. In terms of research for the part, he didn’t do much. He did talk to a priest to be able to handle the artillery the right way (crucifix, holy water, bottle of wine...what not), but that was that.“http://www.joblo.com/arrow/reports/ exorcist2.htm - Cached
„So I read your "Preface." When you said that your "...approach to music is a bit like talking to a friend," I could totally relate. I thought I was the only one in the world that felt like that. I'm almost 18, and after 3 months of daily playing, I still crave your music.“http://www.geocities.com/hollywood/hills/1197/ comments.html - Cached

„An interesting essay called Gaming the system: How moderation tools can backfire. It describes how moderation systems like Slashdot's can inadvertently encourage behavior they wish to discourage. By scoring users participation in moderation and posting Slashdot encourages some users to moderate so as to maximize points scored (karma whoring in Slashdot terms) instead of moderating so as to support interesting discussion.“http://www.zanthan.com/itymbi/archives/ 2002_06.html - Cached
„While a prototype model won't be on show until next year's E3 event , and isn't expected to ship before Q4 2005 in Japan — Q1 2006 for the rest of us; The specifications released yesterday seem to position the PSP slightly above the current Game Boy market in both price and features, with SCEA CEO Ken Kutaragi calling it a "21st Century Walkman " with features such as ATRAC/Mp3/DVD playback seen as key to the "console's" success.“http://archives.oliyoung.com/ is_sonys_psp_a_gameboy_killer_or_something_more.html - Cached

„But ever since Sony "aquired" Columbia, it's been acting like its electronics business was a minor business unit that couldn't afford to disrupt its precious entertainment arm (despite the fact that the entertainment arm's contributions to Sony's bottom line are minimal when compared to the gadget biz). When the first MP3 players appeared in the market, from little companies like Creative Labs, Sony brought out proprietary devices that played stupid formats like RealAudio and OpenAG, which no one wanted to hear. On the other hand, these formats did come with use-restrictions that kept Sony's music execs from getting too anxious and sad.“http://www.stargeek.com/item/61688.html - Cached
