"Successor to mp3"; MusicDNA (interview)

[Cupe]

At the end of January, Bach Technology announced their new music file format, MusicDNA, which was developed as an intended replacement for the mp3 format, which has been the dominant format in music since its inception. MusicDNA uses similar compression methods to mp3, but then also adds an xml file which defines other content that can be included. Wikinews reporter Tristan Thomas caught up with Bach Technology CEO Stefan Kohlmeyer to find out more.

so does that mean for a single song you will need to have two files?

[LabRat]

i think its crap. from what i understand, it works like the Genius system implemented on iTunes.

for anyone that doesnt use iTunes, Genius is a recognition system that recommends downloads related to your library's content. this seems to be the file version of that. my vote's no

it just sounds like you can include a way more detailed ID3 tag with the files.. So a CD booklet as a text file linked to a downloaded version of the album

ps. itunes is fucken shit

Useless imo, as long as they dont try and charge more for them I might buy them.
