Anyone heard of this law before?
|
|
|
|
> Q. Can I get a playlist?
|
|
> A. We are unable to offer a playlist. The Digital Performance Right in
|
|
> Sound Recordings Act of 1995 passed by Congress prevents us from
|
|
> disclosing such information. The Digital Law states that if one is
|
|
> transmitting a digital signal, song information cannot be
|
|
> pre-announced. It is a Music Choice policy not to release a playlist of
|
|
> upcoming or previously played songs.

Recently, MusicChoice upgraded their website with a very important
|
|
service, as far as I'm concerned: real-time song info from their
|
|
website. My DirecTV receiver is up on a shelf (and its display scrolls
|
|
intermittently); and I'm surely not going to fire up my projector while
|
|
listening to the "radio", so I'm quite happy that I can retrieve r/t
|
|
song info with URLs like:
|
|
|
|
http://backstage.musicchoice.com/songid/channels/soundsoftheseasons.asp
|
|
http://backstage.musicchoice.com/songid/channels/rap.asp
|
|
http://backstage.musicchoice.com/songid/channels/opera.asp
|
|
etc...
|
|
|
|
Now, if I were a more eager hacker, I'd write up little WSDL stubs for
|
|
these event streams (they're clearly not worried about load, since their
|
|
own web pages specify 15 sec meta-refresh) and then feed 'em through a
|
|
content router to alert me to cool songs. Heck, cross-reference the
|
|
service to CDDB and... :-)
