Springfield Symphony offering free ringtones

image_8533147.jpg

Beethoven's ninth is now a ringtone — brought to you by an unlikely source of ringtones, the Springfield Symphony Orchestra. Springfield News-Sun reports.

quotemarksright.jpg"Symphony orchestras can be relevant in the 21st century," said operations director Robyn Zimmann, "and are relevant."

What started as an idea by the symphony's audience development committee is now a reality. The SSO is offering free cell phone ringtones — short clips of the orchestra in concert — on its Web site.

The SSO is offering four ringtones (plus two phone wallpapers) to start with, but let's be brutally honest here — Mozart isn't Lil Wayne, and "Eine Kleine Nachtmusic" ain't "Lollipop."quotesmarksleft.jpg

Local musicians eye cards as new way to sell tunes

soundtrax.gif A new card-driven download system is what Soundtrax backers hope becomes as ubiquitous as CDs for sale at concerts and coffeehouses across the country. Deluth News Tribune reports.

The idea is to create something tangible musicians can sell after performances, as increasingly music becomes bought and sold as MP3 downloads.

... An artist can pay $500 for 1,000 cards, and space on Soundtrax servers for their songs. ... This method provides a cheaper alternative for selling songs, Volna said.

And because there is no digital rights management — unlike with iTunes — the song can be downloaded and copied or burned onto CDs or MP3 players.

The shift away from CDs continues growing, as new generations accustomed to computers and songs on MP3s become buyers."

At Starbucks, Songs of Instant Gratification

01impulse.190.jpg New technology that allows coffee patrons to download the music playing in Starbucks stores to their iPhones is just the beginning of a wave options for impulse purchases. The New York Times reports.

Starting tomorrow at certain Starbucks stores, a person with an iPhone or iTunes software loaded onto a laptop can download the songs they hear over the speakers directly onto those devices.

The price will be 99 cents a song, a small price, Starbucks says, to satisfy an immediate urge.

“For the customer it’s an instant gratification,” said Ken Lombard, president of Starbucks Entertainment. “You’ll hear the song, be able to identify what it is and download to the device.”

... The concept is being introduced in around 600 cafes in New York and Seattle only, though Starbucks, based in Seattle, and Apple, of Cupertino, Calif., plan to offer the service in other major cities late this year and in 2008.

Impulsive music lovers will have to sign onto the cafe’s Wi-Fi network to discover what song is playing over the Starbucks speakers. With a few taps, users can download the song onto their iPhones (which double as an iPod), or the new Apple iPod Touch with its wireless connection. The 99-cent charge will appear on their phone bills."
