The company has already featured CDs from a number of developing and superstar artists, including Antigone Rising, Bob Dylan, Herbie Hancock, and The Rolling Stones. But according to Starbucks Entertainment president Ken Lombard, the end game has nothing to do with selling music. "We are not going to be a music company, and we are not going to change who we are," Lombard said during a MusEXPO keynote address on Monday in Los Angeles. "We are continuing to figure out how to create a world-class experience for our customers," Lombard noted. Regardless of where the value play is, the company is clearly pushing an involved music agenda. Part of the opportunity, according to Lombard, lies in an alienated consumer that still craves great music. "We are connecting with customers that no longer have a music experience," Lombard said, who pointed to a "disenfranchised consumer". That means stepping outside of mainstream hits, and allowing for greater music discovery. "Ours is a focus that goes beyond the top 40, and we are digging deep to try to find good music," he said. Uma coisa é querer derrotar o iPod´; outra conseguir, não é Sony?«Attempts by Sony to lure customers away from the iPod have so far been disappointing. By now, the story is a tired one. Sony’s lineup of Network Walkman portable MP3 players have failed to put a dent in the dominant iPod, and Sony Connect has mostly been met with lukewarm reviews and consumer indifference. But despite the setbacks, the company is keeping its head in the portable MP3 game. Last week, Sony SVP Takao Yuhura met with the press to announce the arrival the next iPod killer, as well as a new download service to replace Connect. Unfortunately, Yuhura offered no details on the upcoming player/service pairing, leaving pundits wondering whether Sony will be more competitive this time around. Meanwhile, one executive close to the situation told Digital Music News that a new lineup of players will not carry ATRAC-3 compatibility, though that information has not been corroborated by additional sources. So what will the next generation of digital music services look like for Sony? A possible clue may come from another Sony service called LocationFree TV, which allows PlayStation Portable (PSP) owners to receive television programming and other content wirelessly and on-the-road, all from a home-based unit. Like the SlingBox from Sling Media, the concept is all about content ubiquity and portability, and Sony could expand the platform to include portable MP3 players. Meanwhile, Yuhura was vague on when the new players would appear, only indicating that they will go on sale sometime next year.» fonte: «Sony Targets iPod Once Again, New Strategy Emerges», Digoital Music News, Richard Menta, 1/5/06 Canais de rádio num telemóvel («streaming»)Alguns assinantes da Sprint (EUA) podem receber, desde o início do ano, três canais de rádio (de desporto) via «streaming»: «“WFAN, WSCR and WIP are among CBS Radio’s most listened to stations in the country and we recognize that in today’s fast paced world, our listeners need immediate access and alternate ways to hear live broadcasts and news about their favorite sports teams,” commented Joel Hollander, chairman and CEO, CBS Radio. “CBS Radio seeks to partner with companies that will enhance the listener experience and we’re thrilled our stations will be offered through mSpot Sports service.”» (http://www.radioink.com/headlineentry.asp?hid=133387&pt=inkheadlines). «“It’s basically what you have in your car radio, with a 30-second delay,” said Daren Tsui, MSpot CEO» (http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/interactive/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001807316)
Mais ambição para a rádio!Falar em meios multimédia é esperar que a rádio aproveite para se lançar para voos mais ambiciosos - o El País acaba de lançar o 24 Horas? E por que é que uma rádio, muito mais se for informativa, não pode ter uma edição em papel, no mesmo esquema (aproveitando as notícias da sua página, os seus artigos de opinião, as suas entrevistas)? Falar em meio multimédia é o mesmo que dizer que cada um dos meios clássicos, per si, pode não ter futuro. 03/05/2006 11:38 osegundochoque Enlace permanente. 5.4.6 Meios multimédia No hay comentarios.

Uma nova disposição legal na Grã-Bretanha obriga as rádios que emitem música e transmitem pela net a pagar uma licença extra. Resultado: muitas rádios acabaram com o streaming para não residentes. Este artigo do Guardian fala detalhadamente sobre isso (e sobre os direitos de autor, mais o problema da concorrência com as rádios dos EUA, que não têm esse problema e ganham mais mercado mundial, pela desistência das britânicas): «Will licensing kill the radio star?

O que é aquilo a que chamamos rádio?Um excelente artigo da Billboard Radio Monitor sobre o que é a rádio hoje («decifrar o significado da rádio») e começa assim: «Era tão fácil. Rádio: AM ou FM. But today, with high definition, podcasting, online streaming, hand-held devices and the word "digital" attached to so many platforms, defining the radio medium has become an arduous task. And with a technological roller coaster constantly reinventing the way consumers hear music, news and entertainment, determining where radio is going is an even tougher call» Algumas citações: «No matter how shiny and hip the new audio platforms, broadcasters must hold content above all else, our pundits stressed» «"The best appliance ever created for dispensing music to date is the iPod, but the best appliance for delivering companionship and fun remains the radio» «"we need to start thinking of radio as audio entertainment. We're at a crossroads where the delivery system is going to change, whether that means a cell phone, some other wireless device or something that hasn't even been invented yet. The future of radio is going to be more about the product than how it is delivered» «we have to give the listener opportunities to feel that they have some control over what we do.

"Our belief, based on both years of experience and extensive analysis of PPM data, is that the things that have always made great stations successful will continue to do so when PPM data becomes the ratings currency." Dunkin added, "If radio programmers can view their stations from the outside like listeners do - and understand that listeners do not care, are not paying attention, have extremely simplistic perceptions and attitudes about radio and listen for instantaneous need fulfillment - and program and brand their stations accordingly, their chances of achieving ratings success under the PPM system will be bolstered significantly." 12/05/2006 16:59 osegundochoque Enlace permanente. 6.5 Medição das audiências No hay comentarios.

O HD continua a despertar dúvidasEste texto faz um ponto da situação: «Durante quanto tempo a janela de oportunidade se manterá aberta para a rádio IBOC/HD?» «Silicon Valley has the highest percentage of high-tech gadgetheads in the United States, and they have oodles of disposable income. But there seems to be absolutely no consumer interest in IBOC/HD radio among those gadgetheads. Even Radio World, long a reliable booster of IBOC/HD, is starting to panic a little bit. There is a forced attempt to be hip by describing IBOC/HD radio as "the bling of terrestrial radio," but the article once again treats IBOC/HD as a technical issue instead of grasping it is compelling content----or lack of it----that will determine the fate of IBOC/HD. People are also starting to recognize the interference problems caused by IBOC/HD might be greater than previously supposed; the Corporation for Public broadcasting is seeking participants for a study of IBOC/HD interference (thanks to Glenn Hauser and his World of Radio site for this info).» fonte: «How Much Longer Will The Window Of Opportunity Be Open For IBOC/HD Radio?», 8/5/06, Harry Helms »O fim da rádio»A canadiana CBC está a produzir uma série de programas sobre o fim dos meios tradicionais. «O fim da rádio» está aqui (o programa pode ser visto on line - já não digo o mesmo quanto a ouvir...)

Podcasting significa o fim da rádio?«Does podcasting therefore spell the end of radio? “I don't really buy into that per se; what we're really seeing is a big mash-up of stuff,” says Mr Curry, the podfather. Podcasting, terrestrial radio and another newcomer, paid-for (ie, mostly advertising-free) satellite radio, are all carving out their niches in people's crowded media lives. The limiting factor of podcasting, says Mr Curry, is that it is “inherently asynchronous” (ie, not live). “If they find Osama bin Laden, don't go running to your iPod,” he adds.

Should the remaining members of the Next-Gen group disagree with CBS and select the Media Audit/Ipsos entry for radio ratings, CBS would eventually have to go along. Arbitron's PPM is dependent on broadcasters encoding, leaving gaps where stations refuse to do so - as Cox and Radio One have demonstrated in Houston. One of the attractions of the Media Audit/Ipsos system is that it prefers encoding, but still produces ratings via sound-matching for stations that refuse to encode.

O sistema chama-se Nike+iPod e a ligação entre os ténis da Nike e o Nano - o modelo mais pequeno dos iPod - é feita através de um transmissor que é colocado na sapatilha e de um receptor que é ligado ao iPod. O kit, que apenas inclui o transmissor e o receptor, estará disponível dentro de dois meses e deverá custar 29 dólares (cerca de 23 euros). O utilizador pode continuar a ouvir música enquanto tem o novo sistema ligado e até registar o seu desempenho em www.nikeplus.com, para poder depois consultar a sua evolução numa espécie de diário dos treinos. "Sabemos que estas duas marcas funcionam muito bem juntas", adiantou Trevor Edwards, vice-presidente da Nike para a gestão global da marca, citado pela BBC News. "Partilhamos o mesmo tipo de utilizadores", explicou. Esta não foi a primeira tentativa de ligação entre a Nike e uma empresa de electrónica de consumo, mas a experiência anterior, com a Philips, não foi bem sucedida. Tal como não é inédita a produção de roupas da Nike adaptadas aos iPod» fonte: Isabel Gorjão Santos, «Ténis Nike vão comunicar com o iPod e dizer ao utilizador quanto correu«, Público, 25/5/06 Da rádio das selecções"A Media Capital Rádios (MCR) lançou-se hoje num novo projecto de rádio que vai acompanhar as selecções nacionais, de Sub-21 no campeonato da Europa e, a principal, no Mundial 2006. Na apresentação, Carlos Marques, director de multimédia da MCR, mostrou-se confiante no projecto com que espera alcançar cerca de 500 mil ouvintes, nos dois meses de transmissão. «Estamos convictos que, com esta rádio, venhamos a ter muito feedback dos nossos ouvintes e que esta alegria à volta da selecção contagie as pessoas a ouvir a rádio», comentou à «Agência Financeira». Já a nível de AM, a MCR espera conseguir «à volta de um milhão de ouvintes nos dois meses». Quanto ao valor de investimento não quis adiantar, dizendo apenas que é uma quantia «considerável para um projecto deste tipo». O investimento que está a ser feito «tem de ser compensado também pelas receitas e, por isso, temos que ter algum cuidado. Tem uma equipa própria com sinergias não só da própria rádio, mas também do grupo». Ainda a respeito dos investimentos, o CEO da MCR, António Craveiro, referiu que os «custos do projecto, que têm algum significado, estão completamente cobertos. Felizmente tivemos a boa surpresa de muitas marcas quererem apostar neste projecto»." Assim, a MCR vem, mais uma vez, inovar no tipo de conteúdos transmitidos, uma vez que, até há pouco tempo, as suas rádios eram apenas musicais. «É um projecto de componente experimental. O que nos move é esta iniciativa representar uma incursão nesses territórios de conteúdos que anteriormente não apostávamos ou apostávamos menos», adiantou António Craveiro. Relativamente à continuidade desta iniciativa, o director de multimédia admitiu essa possibilidade. «Estamos abertos a todos as oportunidades de mercado. Se chegarmos à conclusão que este é um bom projecto e que tem pernas para andar, porque não», respondeu. A partir de hoje e até dia 10 de Junho, vai estar, então, no ar a Rádio Portugal (1035 Onda Média ou www.radioportugal.clix.pt) que dará todo o destaque à Selecção de Sub-21 no Europeu, a decorrer em Portugal, entre 23 de Maio e 1 de Junho. Já de 9 de Junho a 9 de Julho, a atenção estará centrada no campeonato Mundial, na Alemanha. Esta rádio de informação desportiva vai ter ainda uma vertente de entretenimento, com diversas rubricas, debates, concursos, humor e comentários. «É uma rádio que vai ter que informar, mas num ambiente de festa», terminou Carlos Marques. A Rádio Portugal resulta de uma parceria com o site Mais Futebol e conta com o apoio das restantes rádios da MCR e da TVI.» fonte: «Media Capital investe numa rádio para as selecções nacionais», Agência Financeira, 2006/05/15 Sirius não baixa a previsão de assinantesAo contrário do que aconteceu com a XM, a Sirius mantém as previsões de crescimento: «In the wake of a scaled-down subscriber forecast by XM Satellite Radio, fast-growing Sirius has now reaffirmed its earlier projections. The quickly-growing upstart maintained its estimate of 6.5 million subscribers by year-end, a figure that represents an addition of 2.5 million over the next seven months. "This supports our expectation that we will capture the majority of retail satellite radio net additions in 2006," said Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin. Meanwhile, the company also indicated that it could reach positive free cash flow as early as the fourth quarter.» fonte: Digital radio News, «Sirius Satellite Reaffirms Subscriber, Financial Guidance», 26/5/06 Senado EUA agrava multas por «indecência»Numa altura em que a Internet se assume como espaço desregulamentado e em que o satélite escapa ao controlo do regulador, parece anacrónico que o senado norte-americano agrave as multas por indecência verbal... «Washington - May 19, 2006 - The Senate has approved a bill to raise fines to 5,000 per violation, which is 10 times the current maximum of ,500, for a broadcaster charged with airing indecent material.

Agências de publicidade substituem rádio por áudioSinal dos tempos... «Natalie Swed Stone, US Director of National Radio Investment at OMD, announced that her agency was adopting the term "audio" to reflect the direction they believe the "radio" market is headed. Matt Feinberg, Senior VP and Director of Interactive Broadcast for Zenith Media, said that he agreed with Ms. Swed Stone's argument. "We realized a couple years ago that [this industry] is more than radio," Feinberg said. "The lines are so blurry that no one knows where to go and what to do. If you try to define it by traditional styles, you'll go insane." "Changing the name from radio to audio is more all encompassing and I think its a move in the right direction," Feinberg added. fonte: «ad agencies dropping radio for audio as industry shifts», RAIN, 26/5/06, http://www.kurthanson.com/archive/news/052606/index.asp 29/05/2006 16:08 osegundochoque Enlace permanente. 3.4.3.1 ainda é rádio?

My hard drive with all my music files crashed, and I can't transfer the songs from my handheld into a new computer? Oui and oui again.
