The article goes on about re-attaching listeners with the “emotional experience” and that they’re getting “good feedback on this.” If they cared about the “emotional experience” they’d create a better sounding digital solution instead of stuffing more controls in the package. By “good feedback” we’re pretty sure they just mean the music industry.

We’re waiting to be proven wrong on this.

The new proposal, which is called MusicDNA and has the backing of the original MP3 digital music file inventor, would allow fans to download an MP3 file on to their computer, which would carry with it additional content.

Music labels, bands or retailers could then also send updates to the music file every time they have something new to announce such as the dates of future tours, new interviews or updates to social network pages.

The user would receive as little or as much of the information as they want, every time they are online. However anyone who downloads the music file illegally would receive only a static file which would not receive any updates.
