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
So if you buy it legally, you get your bandwidth wasted by spam but if you pirate it you avoid all that questionably useful shit? Err yeah, I think I'll pass
the service would hark back to the time when music fans enjoyed looking at the lyrics and artwork on an album almost as much as they enjoyed listening to the music itself.
I still do. Shame this new found equality has less to do with the awesomeness of the artwork and more to do with the spiraling decline in music quality
