Let’s not talk about any media player this time. I am pleased to welcome this brand new Korean ‘Playdisc’ that is said to be the next-generation music album to feature illegal copy blocking technology. The device lets you enjoy your favorite music without the need of any CD player or an MP3 player. You just need to have an earphone, AAA batteries and the Playdisc to listen to the music. The maker Axxen has now the patent right over the sales and manufacturing of the Playdisc for subsequent twenty years. via: Aving

You can enrich you with your much loved tracks anytime anywhere with the wireless headphones. Via: Yankodesign

Internet Competition Makes Music Buys More Affordable
The music industry and the internet have had a fairly tumultuous relationship ever since the days of Napster. Ever since the revolutionary music sharing site was shut down almost 10 years ago, internet users and musicians, alike, have been discussing, some more heatedly than others, the merits and ethics involved in the issues raised by the internet and its effect on the music industry. Independent musicians often cite the fact that the internet provides a platform which gets their music to the world in a way never before possible. Bigger bands, such as Metallica and Blink 182 are of the consensus that downloading costs them millions of dollars per year. Napster was shut down in 2001; however, peer-to-peer file sharing soon took its place. Many countries, including Sweden (the home of Pirate Bay), have passed legislation, which makes it illegal for people to download creative property that is protected by copyright. The penalties include heavy fines and even prison sentences. Alternatives, however, are arising. Many bands have put entire albums up on their websites for download. Radiohead shocked the record industry by offering their 2007album “In Rainbows” for as much, or as little, as the listener wished to pay for it. Other bands have offered their albums for download at a cost lower than that offered by the major retailers. Alongside this, another alternative has surfaced. Companies such as offers.com, have begun offering deals, coupons and discounts for and at major retail stores, for those who want the music, but not to miss out on taking home the cover. Companies like offers.com don’t deal exclusively with music; however, their invention has produced yet another interesting facet and alternative to the ongoing conflict. The future of the music industry is as assured as ever. However, the form it will take and whether the roles of its greatest profiteers, the record companies, will dissolve is another question all together. As always, we shall wait with bated breath to see what happens next.

It looks like the end of the road for Nokia’s mobile music download service formally known as, Comes With Music. According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, 27 out of the 33 countries that Nokia currently provide the all-you-can-eat Music service to will loose out by the end of the year. James Etheridge who is Nokia’s spokesman explained (via Dow Jones Newswires) that the reason the company is doing this is to focus on extending and improving its Ovi suite of Internet services. The few countries to escape this bold move by the telecommunications giant include: Brazil, China, India, South Africa, and Turkey.
Nokia first launched its mobile music service back in 2008 to try and compete with the iTunes service. Unfortunately it never realized its full potential (partly due to being handset specific) and is now being phazed out to make way for a replacement. There’s no details yet from Nokia on what it intends to implement in its forthcoming entertainment services this year, but the company said, “We are actively pursuing and planning new music and entertainment services for 2011 with our ecosystem of partners, and will make further announcements at a later date.”
Even though Nokia are planning big changes, it has been quick to assure existing customers that there will be no disruption to current services or subscriptions. According to the article by The Wall Street Journal, “any Ovi Music Unlimited devices in the retail channel awaiting sale can be activated until Dec. 31, offering 12 months of unlimited track downloads”.
