MusicDNA (file format)
MusicDNA is a music file format developed by some of the key figures involved in the development of the MP3 format.
Design
The format is backwards-compatible with existing MP3 players, and offers the same sound quality.[1] MusicDNA files can contain metadata, such as lyrics, artwork, blog posts and user-created content, which can be updated continually via the internet. MusicDNA is intended to be a competitor to Apple's iTunes LP, which also offers user-added content.
MusicDNA was created by Norwegian developer Dagfinn Bach, Chief Executive Officer of Bach Technology.[2] German developer Karlheinz Brandenburg, credited with the invention of the .mp3 file, is one of the investors in this project.
As of January 2010[update]Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., no major record labels have adopted the new format, although a number of independent labels have shown an interest. MusicDNA files are likely to be more expensive than current music downloads.[3]
