Files are so over

[Grahame]

Don't know where else to put thus, so why not a new thread.

Tyll referenced this in his http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/headphone-news-june-2014 article, and I've seen it referenced elsewhere

 

 

Marc Geiger's keynote from Midem 2014 is very accessible, compelling even, as he describes how the existing music business is facing "The Innovator's Dilemma"

 

Lots to think about, and possibly agree with. Plenty of other interesting Midem presentations on the web (the website, youtube + slideshare.net)

 

Discuss.

I hope he's right.

The first 17 or so minutes is pretty old news, no?

It's why Pono seemed like such a great idea, years ago.

Even the new systems are rapidly evolving. Had a conversation with another yesterday about Spotify v. Beats organizational choices and how the former seemed more designed for a personal collection expanded, where the latter more discovery system improved.

Like 'Stretch hope his later comments about future audiophile subscription models comes to be.

Even if not, we live in a really interesting time. For all the bitching on MP3, we have access to soooo much music through subscription models. So fun to explore. As speaker said, we just need to improve curation and metadata.

Course I'm discussing from consumers perspective, not speakers audience.
