digital jukeboxes
a month ago, i came across this bbc article announcing digital jukeboxes with 2 million tracks and all kinds of other neat net-enabled widgets. surprisingly, there isn’t much more in the bbc story than in the press release, so i put this on hold for a while hoping some substance would appear.
i haven’t been well rewarded in this regard. i did find a nice quote to share,
Norman Crowley of Inspired Broadcast Networks commented: “This is the most significant announcement to hit the music industry this year. We have spent a great deal of time researching the market place so we could launch a product that would change the way consumers listen to music outside of their homes. Our jukebox will give venue owners better ways to entertain their customers and will also increase revenue for the music industry.”
more significant than madonna kissing britney? more significant than the turnaround? well, i guess it’s all a matter of perspective.
i gave these guys a month to do something, so i’m going to give you what i have and get them off of my watch list. they’ll have to make “news” again to get my attention.
