The development and application of cloud technology in family background music

With the emergence and maturation of intelligent terminals, Internet, Wi-Fi, cloud computing, cloud services and other technologies and applications, the old application forms of audio products will gradually break down, and new application methods are gradually appearing. Among them, the development of "cloud music" is bound to bring new changes for the traditional sound industry, and the combination of home network and control system also makes it have important influence on the integration of intelligent home system.

"Cloud Music" becomes the important link of new industry chain

For "Cloud music", we may be no stranger, or foggy, even a little disgusted. Indeed, in such an era of excessive packaging, a new word will often be overused, until everyone at a respectful distance, even with rotten! So here I still have to explain correctly, straight.

First of all, "cloud music" must be a proprietary music content provider to end users through the network to provide genuine content; second, they can provide relevant services in addition to content, and third, they provide a very wide range of content and rich, basically users need, in the content of the server can be found in the basic. If you want to further clarify the concept of cloud music, to see whether it is the real "cloud music", with the following conditions to measure can: whether there is a large number of genuine music library, no proprietary music server, can provide a lot of content and broadband download at the same time, whether it can provide proprietary personalized services Whether it is commercially operational or operational.

When the user uses "cloud music", content and service provided by the contents operator can let the user no longer expend energy or time to download, to store all kinds of music content of their own. You can always get whatever music you want from the Cloud music service. The cloud Music server automatically records what music you like, the type you like, your listening habits, and so on. As a result, cloud music service providers can provide you with a variety of personalized services, including the automatic generation of "your favorite" music content to push the content you may like, as well as the latest published content and so on. At present, the domestic QQ music, Dom music, the United States Pandora are aspiring to become "cloud music" service providers. In its music library already has hundreds of thousands of even hundreds of millions of licensed authentic music, they are becoming "cloud music", "Cloud play" this new music and sound industry chain is an important link.

Traditional listening mode hardware and software separation, look forward to full upgrade

At present, some of the listening methods at home include a set of traditional CD machine (or black glue machine), amplifier, speakers and other audio equipment composed of "hardware" system, plus CDs or vinyl records and other software, and then constitute a set of sound system. When listening to the appreciation, find out what you want to listen to in the software area or buy the program feeds back in the market in advance to enjoy. A few more users will be on the hard disk recording a bunch of their favorite music, external to a hard disk audio player to listen. Users who are less fastidious often use a desktop or hand-held centers to play the contents of a CD or cassette.

These methods have been in existence for decades, and we are very accustomed to them. So what's wrong with this approach? We can look at some of these problems: their hardware and software are separate; the content of the software needs a certain cost (including search cost, purchase cost and time cost); The number and content of the software purchased by the user is always limited; When you have a lot of software, to find what you need to play, It is difficult to find or have a "choice syndrome" at once.

In a word, the traditional way of listening has many inconvenient. When I was interviewed in 2000 by a professional media, I put forward some directions for the future of audio products: what you want to hear, where you listen, where you listen, and what you want to hear. That is to bring users a very good, very convenient use of feelings.
