On these websites the user is able to compile and share their own music libraries and receive, send & distribute music in a more user-friendly way than in websites such as ‘Facebook’ or ‘YouSendit’. Hypem highlighted the fact that this should all be packed in a well considered website design to optimize the communicating of your message over the web. There is a good report of the conference track in the afternoon by Elena Tiis on: http://networkcultures.org/wpmu/weblog/2009/10/25/music-and-bits-conference-report/ [...] [...] During ‘Music and Bits, I have brightened up my brain with the App (filename extension for applications) and API (Application Programming interface) presentations by Vodafone (sponsor of the day) who encouraged people to discuss the possibility of commercializing their code developments (for example Java or HTML) for PDAs, RjDj who promote the idea of ‘music as software’ and demonstrated an API that makes it possible to manipulate sounds by an iPhone, or social music/librarian websites such as the ones developed by Last.fm, IMEEM, Muxtape, Soundcloud, Cloudspeakers, Twones.
