Digital Music Players Introducing New Ways For Users To Interact
posted by Editor on Monday November 15, @04:00PM
Speech & Sonic Interfaces As digital music players emerge as the walkman of the 21st century, system developers are coming up with new ways for users to interact with music and each other. This article on The Feature reviews some of the user interface innovations that reflect the social and information dynamics provided by digital music infrastructures. One is Malleable Mobile Music developed by Sony (see paper), in which participants hold a PDA configured with pressure and motion sensors. As participants naturally sway to the groove of their music, the PDA's motion sensor detect their motion and shifts the tempo of the song. Another is Sound Pryer (PDF), a wireless peer-to-peer system that turns cars into mobile radio stations, so that other cars within Wi-Fi range can hear what you are listening to. Similarly, tunA is a handheld ad-hoc radio device for local music sharing that allows users to share their music locally through handheld devices. Users can "tune in" to other nearby tunA music players and listen to what someone else is listening to.

    Sci-Fi Implementation (Score:1)

    An interesting play with these sort of devices occurs as a tangent in Eastern Standard Tribe (CC-licensed novel) by Cory Doctorow. In his future the Turnpikes become "RIAA-hounds" and charge people for the number of songs they have in their cars. The main character, an Efficiency Expert, comes up with the idea of letting "uber-users", those with tons of songs, not have to pay because they become bandwidth backbone. On my own tangent: a similar idea could be used in more "normal" pay-per-song, peer-to-peer applications in which those who contribute lots of computer time and bandwidth could be compensated for it. I've seen some P2P apps proposing such a thing (such as MojoNation), but not yet any "popular" implementations.
