Google foresaw Lena's victory in the Euro Vision Song Contest!

All of Germany is in the Lena fever and just celebrating the 18-year-old (omfg who is younger than me) young artist. Whether one likes the song or not is up to you. To me, personally, the song slowly out of the ears, but the course does not change the fact that one is proud of his country (no, this has nothing to do with Nazis). Stefan Raab has not lied when he said it would be difficult to win the ESC as a football champion to be, because: The ESC we have only 2 times won the World Cup we won pretty often.

Google unveils new YouTube feature: The Disco!

Google has a new feature for Youtube in store! It goes by the name of the relevant discount and is now available for all users.

With Youtube Disco is a feature that compares in its functionWith the Genius feature of iTunes. After entering an artist name or song title, the video platform, a number of other related videos of similar artists available. This can be at the discretion of users, expand and otherwise modify saved ultimately. Is also similar-sounding songs are presented, the user can add, of course, even without the problems playlist.
In addition, biographies of the artists are also visible.

Unfortunately, it's also true that many videos due to copyright laws are not available. This of course detracts from the fun of the new function. Just hope for once that the problem will be solved soon.

Jamendo before the end? It can not!

Some of you will be precious little about this product, but to me he is at heart.

It's about the platform Jamendo . Who this site now says nothing: It is a platform for artists to create their music under a Creative Commons license can be downloaded free. I've found many pearls there, among other things, the alternative rock band Shearer from Berlin. But this is not just the only great band. There are many other musicians, offering really good music there. Meanwhile, over 29 000 albums in the database. And increases the number. Every day over 500,000 songs downloaded on Jamendo by users to find the fallen at the CC concept. And since this is so, it is important that artists continue to have a platform on which to make their music pure.

Now CTO Sylvain Zimmer has announced from Jamendo but let them that it would not be good:

It is true that we are in a difficult financial situation. However some options are open. I do not think that the website will ever go offline. We make sales. But in the composition book now term the company is not viable.

Despite the Jamendo PRO launched in March, where you can buy commercial licenses from the music, the moment it looks as if the platform can not stay afloat. 300,000 euros were taken. That's enough for the operation of such a gigantic hand, is not enough. As I said, every day, made just over 500,000 downloads. That's a lot of traffic.

I certainly can only hope that Jamendo is not going offline. First, an investor looking back now. There is no one who does it better or worse, look as if the site would be sold. Or will it even be switched off completely. This must not happen! If you want help, then please switch it off your ad blocker on Jamendo. Thank you! :)

Creative Commons in an interview

Germany Radio last week, the same two contributions to Creative Commons delivered. In the first talk, Volker Tripp, who runs the netlabel iD.EOLOGY how Creative Commons is changing the marketing of music.
This is her first interview here .

In the second article focuses on the question of how Creative Commons artists earn their money. Want based on the question of whether artists earn money with their music and earn money at all, will also clarify the question whether the whole concept can be applied to movies.
The second contribution is her here .

Both are definitely very listenable posts. I will listen to me now once in bed. For all those who can not get enough of the Creative Commons: A few weeks ago I had even a interview times with the CC-band Shearer made ​​and asked them what to think of CC.

U2: Youtube Live Concert on 25 October, but ...

Germans ... we will have a hard time to come enjoy the concert. The first hurdle is the time. The concert will be held at 4.30 clock and thus, the concert also broadcast live at this time. (Or go through) Well, the early start would be acceptable. Nevertheless, we will look stupid from the laundry, because: German users were not taken into account in planning. Thus, in the announcement on Youtube :

Available internationally in the following countries: U.S., UK, France, Canada, Italy, Spain, Japan, Brazil, Australia, NZ, Ireland, Mexico, India, Israel, South Korea, and Netherlands.

Good thing, right? You could enjoy more than one upstream proxy with the concert. But I simply dare to doubt me, that you can enjoy a Youtube proxy connection. So we are left with nothing more than to ponder the future of such streaming live concerts.
