MusicDNA, the new MP3 on the block

The days of listening to music in MP3 file format will soon receive competition from MusicDNA.

MusicDNA is aiming to take the way users experience their music to the next level. The new format can be considered a tree of the popular MP3 format as its creator, Dagfinn Bach, worked on the very first MP3 player. One of the investors in MusicDNA is also Karlheinz Bradenburg , who is credited as the creator of MP3 files.

The new format is set to provide more than just music, as it can contain lyrics, videos, artwork and even blog postings. The benefit of the new system is that data will be updated real-time. Bands will also have the ability to inform owners of their music about their tours and future releases by sending updates to the file. This allows for the music to also become a form of advertising directly between artists and their fans.

Its creators are hoping that MusicDNA will make music more personal again, as in the days when they used to buy LP records and they contained an emotional value.
