Carte musique : « Pas suffisante pour inverser la tendance » PROPOS RECUEILLIS PAR MATTHIEU MILLECAMPS > matthieu.millecamps@nordeclair.fr Tandis que l'industrie de la musique se bat contre le piratage, Ambroise Yon a fait le pari de créer Minor Place, magasin de disques indépendant, à Lille. Dubitatif quant à la capacité de la carte musique à changer les comportements, il mise plutôt sur le rapport de l'amateur avec la musique qu'il chérit.
Pensez-vous que la carte musique puisse réduire le recours au téléchargement illégal ? >> Personnellement, je suis trop attaché à l'objet disque pour même penser à télécharger de la musique... Mais honnêtement, je crois que la carte musique ne sera pas suffisante pour inverser la tendance, pour changer les comportements de ceux qui ont l'habitude de télécharger illégalement et qu'ils se rabattent sur les plateformes légales. Je ne suis pas spécialiste, mais je pense qu'il existe des procédés techniques.
Je n'ai d'ailleurs rien, sur le principe, contre le téléchargement. Nord Éclair. OWNImusic, Réflexion, initiative, pratiques. Limewire : un zeste de mauvaise foi ? » Article » OWNImusic, Réflexion, initiative, pratiques. Un acteur historique du peer-to-peer qui exige des internautes l'arrêt des infractions de copyright à son encontre, vous en rêviez ? Limewire l'a fait. Limewire est (ou plutôt était) l’un des softwares de partage de fichiers les plus populaires de ces dernières années. Évoluant sur un fil plus que ténu légalement parlant, la plateforme a finalement du rendre les armes. Enfin presque. La fermeture de Limewire, c’est un peu le feuilleton du moment. Des développeurs ont en effet piraté (eheh) le code source du programme pour créer “Limewire Pirate Edition”, qu’ils ont ensuite placé sur des plateformes telles que The Pirate Bay.
“Nous venons d’apprendre l’existence d’applications web telles que “LiweWire Pirate Nation” utilisant le nom de Limewire. Se justifiant en invoquant sa volonté de se conformer à la décision de justice qui l’a frappé, Limewire fait figure de mauvais perdant. Crédits photos : FlickR CC lute3d / LDR. Can The RIAA Kill A Zombie? LimeWire Resurrected. The pirates have brought LimeWire back to life. What a short-lived victory that was. They took over the damaged vessel, did some upgrades, and let it set sail on the open seas, err, BitTorrent servers. They've removed the dependency of LimeWire's central servers and stripped it of everything that slowed it down. So much for speculating on if LimeWire users will convert the legal alternatives. Given the ADD of file-sharers, they've all likely found their preferred substitute and won't be jumping back in with LimeWire.
If users have moved from LimeWire to torrents, they've just leaped from sharing one song at a time to hundreds in the matter of seconds. Via TorrentFreak.

Une nouvelle application mobile pour la musique indé, créée par le co-fondateur du site Thesixtyone.com TE/\MS. 10 novembre, 2010 | Categorie : Tech news James Miaoqui, le co-fondateur de l’excellent Thesixtyone.com, vient de lancer une nouvelle application gratuite pour l’iPad.

Mufin, le player 3D qui fait des bulles. Depuis l’avènement de Pandora, les services qui proposent de la construction de playlists musicales intelligentes basées sur l’analyse de ce que vous écoutez ou sur vos goûts musicaux se sont multipliés comme des petits points sur un écran, le dernier en date étant Genius d’iTunes (que je n’ai jamais utilisé car comme chacun sait je Depuis l’avènement de Pandora, les services qui proposent de la construction de playlists musicales intelligentes basées sur l’analyse de ce que vous écoutez ou sur vos goûts musicaux se sont multipliés comme des petits points sur un écran, le dernier en date étant Genius d’iTunes (que je n’ai jamais utilisé car comme chacun sait je voue une sincère détestation à iTunes).
Mufin fait partie de ceux-là, et je vous en avais déjà parlé. Cette façon de visualiser des données immatérielles, et, dirais-je, « sensorielles », bien qu’un peu gadget à l’usage, se révèle souvent fascinante lors des premières utilisations.

New evidence supports our sneaking suspicion that people are streaming more music than they’re downloading, as an increasing number of start-ups and established players realize the promise of music in “the cloud,” streaming it to smartphones, computers, televisions, stereos, cars, and eventually, we assume, our espresso machine. A French study published on Tuesday found that for the first time in history, the French are streaming more music than they are downloading. (See the original article or PDF in French, or this somewhat clumsy babelfish translation.)
What about in the States? A 2009 NPD Group study found that teens were streaming to more music and downloading less – and of course, teens eventually grow up and get replaced by more teens, so this pattern of streaming increasing and downloading decreasing that has emerged in France appears to be mirrored here, and probably in other countries as well. But it is certainly in decline, as more listeners switch to streaming. The New World Order of The Music Business. Peter Malkin has been in the music business for over 20 years, serving as an A&R executive and brand consultant. In a recent YouTube video he spells out the hundreds of music services available to talent agents to find new music and to musicians to promote and sell their music online. Some of his recommendations are horribly outdated (Friendster for band profiles?)
And I also think he’s missing a couple great new music services. Here’s His List and my two cents. To Find Artists: SellABand, SliceThePie, Bandstocks, Kickstarter, MySpace, YouTube, OurStage; through Internet radio sites like Pandora, LastFM, Slacker and iSound; through online social communities: MOG, Bebo, Buzznet, Babulous. Sites for aspiring artists: Boomdizzle, Broadjam, Get Signed, Unsigned and Music Gorilla.
Sites that allow people to share playlists and reccomend music: Spotify (love), Playlist.com, GetPlaylists, 8Tracks, Live365, Jango, and rdio. Creating mobile apps: MobileRoadie, Appiction and NetBiscuits. How To Get Music Into China — We All Make Music. Next week, the good people at Music Dish will be hosting a panel discussion entitled “Breaking Into International Markets, From China to MIDEM.” Though the discussion will likely be about quite a lot of different things, we figured this would be the perfect opportunity to delve into the world’s biggest, and arguably most interesting, music market: China’s.
This is the first of a three part series that will go over everything from Chinese tastes to distribution and promotion, all things you can do from the comforts of your living room, and we’re going to begin with a conversation with Eric de Fontenay, the founder of Music Dish*China, about the recent changes in China that have made it more accessible for foreigners. Let’s start with talking about why China is suddenly a market that artists can consider entering. What’s changed? Well first of all, I would just warn artists that China is probably the most difficult market to crack, for all kinds of reasons. The day Steve Jobs dissed me in a keynote. In May 2003, Apple invited me to their headquarters to discuss getting CD Baby's catalog into the iTunes Music Store. iTunes had just launched two weeks before, with only some music from the major labels.
Many of us in the music biz were not sure this idea was going to work. Especially those who had seen companies like eMusic do this exact same model for years without big success. I flew to Cupertino thinking I'd be meeting with one of their marketing or tech people. When I arrived, I found out that about a hundred people from small record labels and distributors had also been invited. We all went into a little presentation room, not knowing what to expect. Then out comes Steve Jobs. He was in full persuasive presentation mode. He really made a point of saying, “We want the iTunes Music Store to have every piece of music ever recorded.
This was huge to me, because until 2003, independent musicians were always denied access to the big outlets. Ugh. “What the hell are you doing? Yes! Whoa! Streaming catching up with MP3s in US. Track In The Box: A Newsletter For Music Discovery. How to Write Engaging Newsletters - Ariel’s Greeting, Guts, & Getting! Are you still not sending newsletters? A new study proves you should be…. Boston based research firm Chadwick Martin Bailey has recently completed a study that all musicians should know about. Here are the important highlights: “Three-quarters of web users are likely to share content with friends and family, and nearly half do so at least once a week. But while much social networking content is built around such shared items, most people still prefer to use email to pass along items of interest.” The study goes on to say: “Overall, 86% of survey respondents said they used email to share content, while just 49% said they used Facebook. So, if your audience is older than 24 you better be thinking about your newsletter strategy now!
In conclusion the study says: “Rather than focusing on sharing content they thought the recipients would find helpful or relevant (58%), most respondents cared more about what they thought was interesting or amusing (72%).” Greeting - Make it Personal Some ideas: Spotify Attempts To Add Users With Free Trial. Spotify hopes to entice users a with a Premium 7-day free trial. To do so, users will have to enter their credit card info and accept charges if they fail to cancel. Details on the offer can be found here. This promotion could bolster their adoption rate and give them a little more leverage, but only time will tell if trying out the full service will lead to more users paying for the site. According to Sean Parker, by letting users build music collections and stream music free, the company can get the users "by the balls" and attract paid users.
With that logic, allowing users to try the full service and walk everywhere with their music should be like dangling them over the ledge of a building and asking them to pay up for free streaming.
