Recently I’ve placed ads on the RSS feed of this blog (I hope my readers do’t angry because of that), and I’ve also been editing some ID3 tags for the mp3 files of the new compilation on superssonica.net, and I’ve thought… (yes, sometimes I think). Wouldn’t it be great if we could place ads in our MP3 files ? I have no idea about how difficult is this for developing, but I think could be great for copyleft musicians and also for the commercial ones. Personally, if I can download a HQ file with my favorite artist’s theme for free, I guess that some ads are not a problem, if Youtube places them on the videos we upload, why can’t the creators place our own ads in our music ? Would this be a valid way to support the Music Business on the web environment and the P2P age ? It’s just an idea, but IMHO maybe it’s not a so bad one… What do you think about this ? The question is open…
Recientemente he colocado publicidad en el feed RSS de este blog (espero que mis lectores no se enfaden por ello), y tambien he estado editando unas etiquetas ID3 para los mp3 del nuevo compilado de superssonica.net, y he pensado… (si, a veces pienso). No seria grande que pudiesemos colocar publicidad en nuestros archivos MP3 ? No tengo ni idea de lo complicado de desarrollar que seria esto, pero creo que seria bueno para musicos Copyleft y tambien para los comerciales. Personalmente, si puedo bajar un archivo de alta calidad con el tema de mi artista favorito gratis, supongo que unos anuncios no son un problema, si Youtube los coloca en los videos que subimos, por que no podemos los creadores colocar nuestros propios anuncios en nuestra musica ? Seria esta una forma valida de apoyar el ” Music Business” en el entorno web y la era P2P ? Es solo una idea, pero en mi humilde opinion quizas no sea tan mala… Que opinais vosotros sobre esto ? La pregunta esta abierta…

well, i think the advertisers rather put ads in podcasts or popular net-radio.
oh, no, I’m not talking about that, that’s already in use. I’m talkin about adding a new “tag” with random ads something like Ad Sense for files.
ex. on your iPod screen:
song XXXXXXXXXXXX
album XXXXXXXXXXXXX
year XXXX
Sponsor (random AD)
the only problem I see is when u play the song offline, but I think it’s not a real problem, if somebody prints my RSS I obviously can’t display my ads, but if they load them online, it just happens
could be a stupid idea, but I think could be good to have that option, a huge amount of mp3 songs are played every day via streaming, if I’m able to insert my ad code on the main file of my server, each time that mp3 be played I can display my ad there
that’s the idea (stupid or not)
i see, man. what i meant was, for advertisers there is a hard way to control the aftereffect of advertising, and managing the payment of campaign. you know, under the google advertising system, you don’t need to pay for google if no body hits your ads, you pay only when your site been visited through google adwords. that’s the huge different with traditional billing.
if there has some kind of mp3 advertising system, which could detecting a special ID3 tag, or a marker or special region in your sound files. for example: if i insert an ads sample in the ending of my track, and mark the part named “XXX Bank”. meanwhile when a person listened the ads part, your system will be recorded once played for the ad. well..maybe works.
