We take for granted that we can find music on the Web - and Artist details
will be available about the track. However, I find myself wondering who keyed in the information to make it available. When was it done and what was the incentive - who owned it, etc. |

While some of the larger more 'popular' might well have people write and do everything for them. |

Doesn't seem to be sponsered by advertising. Same with the newsgroup films and music - what's in it for the uploader? |

Well, I contributed entries for CDDB, for those CD's I had which were not in the database at the time. Rather annoyingly, one of these databases switched to being commercial, having started off as open. -- Andrew Gabriel |

: Yes you need to have records of who played on what and when and of course under what contract terms. As you know the guy who played the sax solo on GerryRafferty's Baker Street was offered royalties on the session but took a session fee to help pay his bills. Both Gerry and Raf Ravenscroft are now dead, but many times during his life he came to regret not going for royalties... Brian I was originally thinking of music that was originally analogue and is now digital with all the information retrievable if you download it. |

It's all analogue, at least anything we (as in human beings) can hear is analogue. If it claims to be digital it just means that one bit of the route from original sound to our ears happens to be digitised. -- Chris Green · |

It's why, when using the CD ripper, I sometimes get presented with two or three database entries and have to choose. The choice of 'genre' is often rather flaky. -- My posts are my copyright and if @diy_forums or Home Owners' Hub wish to copy them they can pay me £1 a message.

When was it done and what was the incentive - who owned it, etc. Many of the businesses that supply this kind of content seemed to start out as collaborative efforts... i.e. you can download the tracklist for your CD collection here, and if you find any that are not in the database please feel free to create your own with our editor. BTW, you can upload the result back to us as well. Since you would probably want to do the work for your own collection, there was little additional cost to allow others to share it. Its how something like IMDB started. I remember a time when you needed to download the client to access the database, and then a complete database plus weekly updates to get in all the new bits. It was a shared community effort to keep it updated. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
