Russia grants Bangladesh $1 billion loan for weapons: Putin
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia, the world's second-largest weapons exporter, has granted a $1 billion loan to Bangladesh for arms purchases, President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday after talks with the country's prime minister, Sheikh Hasina.
"Our countries intend to broaden military-technical cooperation," Putin said, referring to weapons sales and servicing. He did not specify what weapons or military equipment Bangladesh would buy from Russia.
Russia will provide a separate $500 million loan to Bangladesh to help build its first nuclear power plant, Ruppur, under an agreement signed after the meeting, Putin said.
"We will not only provide the most up-to-date technology ... but we will also provide financial support for the construction of the nuclear power plant at the initial stage," he said.
The head of Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom, Sergei Kiriyenko, said technical and environmental assessments would be carried out this year for the plant, which is to have two 1,000-megawatt reactors and be completed in the early 2020s.
He told reporters more loans would be required at later stages.

How are hybrid clouds evolving to allow the coexistence of private and public clouds? What are the challenges to meeting a true hybrid cloud scenario?
Businesses large and small have been at times both seduced and confused by the grand promise of the cloud. But when they talk about "hybrid cloud," they are really just seeking the flexibility to utilize the cloud as an extension of their own data center. They also want levels of openness, transparency and ease of use - previously unattained in the enterprise - where production workloads can be easily mobilized, centrally managed and protected.
Companies considering hybrid cloud - moving applications to the public cloud - are finding that the journey is complex. What are the challenges? To accomplish this movement, production workloads need to be easily mobilized, centrally managed and protected to interoperate with, and reap the benefits of, the public cloud. But production workloads today are not easily mobilized - they're "silo-ed."
Workloads are silo-ed by the hypervisor, be it VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix Xen or Redhat KVM. Workloads simply cannot move between these hypervisors easily. They are also silo-ed by hardware, with "vendor lock-in" to a specific brand of hardware making it difficult to move workloads for applications like disaster recovery and data migration. Workloads are also silo-ed in clouds. Cloud providers often use proprietary infrastructure and tools, making them incompatible with other clouds.
So where can enterprises turn?
The hybrid cloud is interesting to IT departments and CIOs worldwide because it allows for cost reduction, bursting, server migrations, disaster recovery, and data portability. Gartner estimates that 70 percent of enterprises will pursue the hybrid cloud by 2015. Unlike the public cloud model, hybrid cloud diverts far more control to the IT department, allowing for greater flexibility and easier manageability of workloads. But how does a hybrid-cloud-based datacenter avoid or remove the datacenter silos?
For the hybrid cloud to reach widespread adoption and remove these silos, we need to see the development and adoption of an underlying infrastructure layer that allows for seamless flexibility of data and applications across clouds, hypervisors, networks and hardware - a cloud fabric of sorts that would enable portability of data across any environment.
In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, Gil Levonai, VP of marketing and products for Zerto, will address the concept of a cloud fabric, how the big vendors are approaching hybrid cloud and how close we are to seeing real uptake of hybrid cloud.

Fundamentally, SDN is still mostly about network plumbing. While plumbing may be useful to tinker with, what you can do with your plumbing is far more intriguing. A rigid interpretation of SDN confines it to Layers 2 and 3, and that's reasonable.

SAO PAULO - While there's hardly any doubt, FIFA President Sepp Blatter won't declare himself a candidate for re-election just yet.
He did reveal on Wednesday, though, how deeply hurt he was by hearing that European countries no longer want him in the role.
Blatter passed up a chance to formally announce his re-election plans for a fifth term bid in 2015 when he addressed his 209 member nations at their annual congress ahead of the World Cup.
What he did show at a later news conference was raw emotions about UEFA officials making a face-to-face demand in a closed-door meeting Tuesday that he step aside next year.
"That was the most disrespectful thing I have experienced in my entire life," Blatter said in German, "on the football pitch and in my home."
FIFA's media chief cut short his boss's response as Blatter seemed ready to unload further on the only football continent that refuses to publicly support the 78-year-old Swiss official's expected candidacy in the election next May.
Blatter's outburst was more surprising after an all-day congress meeting seemed to go entirely to his plan.
Members tossed out proposals on age and term limits for Blatter and others; FIFA cheered the hall by promising $200 million in bonus payment from World Cup profits; and Blatter unveiled a new idea, a review system for team managers to challenge referees' decisions.
The challenge was Blatter's closing remarks after a long day that he was expected to end with a call to support his candidacy.
He did hint at his intentions to run again for the job he's held since 1998.
"I am ready to accompany you in the future," Blatter told delegates, "but it's your decision, congress, if you want to go with me."
"The candidate period is not yet open so no one can be a candidate," Blatter told reporters. "My mission is not yet finished so ask me next year."
The hostile UEFA meeting on Tuesday — the final stop on Blatter's six-visit tour of his continental confederations ahead of the congress — was a rare down note for him.
Senior UEFA officials had urged Blatter to take responsibility for FIFA corruption allegations and negative headlines for football under his leadership. They also objected to Blatter suggesting that racism was a factor in English media reporting that Qatar corruptly won the 2022 World Cup hosting rights.
UEFA board member Michael van Praag of the Netherlands said he told Blatter he liked him as a friend but that "people tend not to take you seriously anymore."
On a day when Blatter said from the stage that the game could spread to other planets — "Then we'll have an Interplanetary Cup" — he was being taken very seriously indeed by loyal delegates from outside Europe.
Blatter's campaign message that age limits were a form of discrimination led to delegates also voting out term limits on principle. A key reform recommended by FIFA's anti-corruption advisors therefore fell.
There is little will outside Europe for change partly because the booming World Cup continues to reap dividends.
FIFA's finance director announced bonuses of $750,000 for each member country and $7 million for each confederation. The same for tiny 11-nation Oceania as wealthy 54-member UEFA.
Blatter only hinted at divisions with UEFA, led by his former sports politics protege Michel Platini, the former France great whose mentor refuses to leave the stage.
"It's impossible to make everybody happy," Blatter said in an opening speech. "So express yourself and say, 'Well, what do you think could be better?' We are here to answer all the questions."
At his later news conference, Blatter was evasive with several replies to English media.
When one questioner displeased him, the multilingual president chose to respond in French while declining to address the detail.
By this time, his preferred audience of football family members had long left the venue.
"I personally am in a very positive mood," Blatter had told his voters in his closing address, one hour before the opposite was true.
The next time FIFA members see him in this setting, on May 29, 2015 in Zurich, they will probably be deciding whether to keep him in office until 2019. His opponent that day could well be Van Praag.

VIA Nano ultra-low power processor
The mobo in our pics may look like a VIA SN18000G, which sells for about £150 with a 1.8GHz C7 processor, but it's more exciting: it's a reference board for VIA's would be Atom-smasher: Nano. It's designed to demonstrate the new 1.8GHz VIA Nano L2100, to be precise. The CPU's fabbed at 65nm and is set to consume no more than 25W …
Given: n=3a
Prove: n=3a
"As VIA SN hardware sells for £150 ... that suggests Nano might be three times the price of Atom. Ouch.
If so, it'll be roughly three times the price of a comparable Atom."
80 watts?
What a pile of rubbish. Where does this (p)review show that Nano is twice as fast as Atom? What are the specs of the test system - memory, hard drive(s), power supply? What did you do to it to push it to 80W? I can do 80W with a 45W dual-core AMD (under $100 including mATX mobo, miniITX might be more expensive), 1GB DDR2 and a "green" Caviar, so either the Nano, or the review is full of crap.
So it's unlikely to play Crysis then?
PCMark05 favours GenuineIntel CPUID
Does no-one at El Reg read Slashdot or Ars Technica? Ars demonstrated that just changing the CPUID of the Nano to "GenuineIntel" improves the memory subsystem benchmark by 47.4%, pushing it significantly above the Atom for memory. I'm not making this up, check the Ars Technica "Low-end grudge match: Nano vs. Atom" by Joel Hruska (29 July 2008). Worth a mention, if only for the PCMark/Intel conspiracy...

Koreas to meet on Asian Games Thursday
Publication Date : 15-07-2014
The two Koreas agreed to hold a meeting Thursday to discuss the North's plans to dispatch a group of athletes and cheerleaders to the forthcoming Asian Games in Incheon, South Korean officials said Monday.
Three officials from each side will gather at Freedom House on the southern part of the truce village of Panmunjeom. The South's delegation is to be led by Kwon Kyung-sang, secretary-general of the event's steering committee.
Last Thursday Pyongyang offered working-level talks on Tuesday via a cross-border telephone line. Seoul on Friday requested a change of the date.
"The North gave consent to our proposal this morning," Unification Ministry spokesman Kim Eui-do said in a news briefing. "We will prepare for the meeting in close consultation with the organising committee."
In a rare instance of cross-border cooperation, the North last week released its plans to send a cheering squad to the quadrennial event, which will kick off on September 19 for a two-week run. In May it announced that it would send 150 athletes to the competition.
During the upcoming negotiations, the sides are expected to wrestle over whether Seoul would provide support for the North Korean team's lodging, transportation and other accommodations here.
The ministry appeared to be on the fence, though last week it presented basic principles that any participating country should bear its own expenses, pointing to a "different" standing of the current inter-Korean relations compared with the past.
"It will be the right thing to listen first to what the North Koreans have to say," Kim added. "It's not appropriate for us to say yes or no when the North has not yet even made any request."
With Pyongyang planning on a "big scale" cheering brigade, observers say it could have as many as 300 members.
The communist country sent a group of some 300 female students to the 2002 Asian Games in Busan and the 2003 Summer Universiade in Daegu. In the 2005 Asian Athletics Championships in Incheon, 124 cheerleaders took part, including Ri Sol-ju, the wife of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
The Kim regime has been stepping up its peace offensive in recent weeks. But the South remains aloof as the North continues to escalate tension on the other side such as by test-firing short-range missiles into the sea.

Will Wright's studio plots three titles
Fun Club could expand, too
Speaking to VentureBeat this week, veteran Maxis game developer Will Wright has said that three games are in the works at his Stupid Fun Club developer.
"Right now we are pursuing three pretty aggressively. We might get up to four or five. I want to stay pretty focused. We have a lot of ideas that we want to do. But it's just three now," Wright beams.
He adds that the first title from the new firm might emerge next year, and could be "commercialised in six months to a year."
The Stupid Fun Club was launched back in April, and is described as an "entertainment think tank."

Penguins C Evgeni Malkin returns against Jets
PITTSBURGH -- The news keeps getting better for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Reigning NHL MVP Evgeni Malkin returned to the lineup Thursday night against Winnipeg after missing nine games with an upper-body injury. The team activated Malkin less than a day after acquiring Calgary captain Jarome Iginla in a blockbuster trade.
To make room for Malkin, the Penguins sent rookie winger Beau Bennett to Wilkes Barre-Scranton of the AHL.
Malkin has five goals and 19 assists in 24 games this season. He sat out four games earlier this season because of a concussion.
Pittsburgh's No. 1 goaltender, Marc-Andre Fleury, was scratched from the lineup while recovering from a collision in a 1-0 win victory over Montreal on Tuesday night. Tomas Vokoun started against the Jets, with Jeff Zatkoff called up from the AHL to serve as a backup.

[0001] This application claims priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/183,563 filed Feb. 18, 2000.
[0002] The invention relates generally to systems and methods for promoting audio content. More particularly, the invention relates to systems for promoting songs, advertisements and other audio content to radio stations and the like via a digital network such as the Internet.
[0003] Artists, management companies, record labels and the like (collectively referred to as �artists�) frequently encounter difficulties in promoting their audio works. In particular, it is often difficult for an artist (particularly an independent artist that may not be associated with a record label) to get songs, lectures, or the like played on the radio. With reference to FIG. 1, prior art techniques for promoting audio content typically involved artists 102 either providing content directly to radio stations (see arrows 110 in FIG. 1) or providing content via direct mailers or other promoters 106. Many record industry magazines and charting companies, for example, have offered services whereby new CDs were mailed to national radio stations (and consumers) as part of the marketing and promotional materials for the magazines/charting services themselves.
[0004] Conventional promotion techniques based upon non-digital platforms typically exhibit a number of marked disadvantages. First, such techniques are typically very expensive, often on the order of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Moreover, the effectiveness of direct mailings and prior art promotion schemes is frequently suspect, because there is no guarantee that the recipient actually receives the content, or that they actually review the content. Further, such services often �pigeonhole� new content into a particular category, thus effectively eliminating many potential new listeners, particularly as songs cross over from niche markets to general markets. A new song may be labelled as �rhythm and blues�, for example, even though it may have potential as a �pop� song. Similarly, �alternative� content may have potential in �rock� markets, and so on. This phenomenon is especially troublesome to small record labels or relatively unknown artists, who must compete against better-known artists and better-funded promotional campaigns to obtain airplay. Additionally, these promotion techniques required that the artist or label pay to create copies of CDs or other media that could be shipped to recipients, thus increasing the total cost of the promotion.
[0005] It is therefore desired to create a new system and technique for promoting audio content that is efficient, cost effective, and fair to both artist and recipient.
[0006] According to various aspects of the present invention, a technique for promoting audio content via a digital communications network suitably includes registering an artist at a server via a digital network, receiving said audio content from the artist at the server, storing the content in a database at the server, actively and/or passively promoting the audio content via the digital network to one or more audio recipients from the server, and processing a payment from the artist at the server. An exemplary server suitable for use in promoting audio content via a digital network suitably includes a network interface, a web server or other suitable interface, and programming to execute registration, active and/or passive promotion, and payment processing functionality.
[0007] By making use of the Internet or another digital network, the up-front cost of producing CDs or other media is effectively reduced or eliminated. Moreover, content may be quickly and effectively distributed across a wide range of recipients who are likely to be interested in that particular type of content.
[0008] The above and other features and advantages of the present invention are hereinafter described in the following detailed description of illustrative embodiments to be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing figures, wherein like reference numerals are used to identify the same or similar parts in the similar views, and:
[0009]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an exemplary prior art promotion scheme;
[0010]FIG. 2A is a block diagram of an exemplary promotion scheme in accordance with one aspect of the present invention;
[0011]FIG. 2B is a block diagram of an exemplary system configured to promote audio content.
[0012]FIG. 3 is a flow chart of an exemplary method of receiving and processing audio content via a digital network; and
[0013]FIG. 4 is a flow chart of an exemplary method of promoting audio content via a digital network.
[0014] According to various aspects of the present invention, a server is suitably placed on the internet to receive content from artists. The content may be suitably categorized according to information obtained from the artist or obtained by listening to the content. Content may be actively or passively provided to recipients via email, web interface, or any other digital technique by matching the category of the music to content preferences provided by the recipients. Artists and/or recipients may be registered and charged according to the content that they provide or receive, according to a flat fee arrangement, or any other scheme. In such a manner digital content is quickly and efficiently distributed from artists to recipients in a cost-effective manner, and in a manner that is more likely to provide recipients with the type of content that they are most interested in receiving.
[0015] To aid in the understanding of the invention, this document uses the term �artist� to refer to any source of musical, audio, or other content. The term �artist� as used herein broadly includes entertainers, performers, content providers, artists, speakers, record companies, promotion agencies, management companies, agents, and other sources of digital content. It is not necessary that the �artist� be the person who actually created or performed the content provided. Similarly, the terms �recipient�, �audio recipient�, and �station� as used herein broadly include radio stations, record companies, online music services, corporations, retail stores, nightclubs, bars, restaurants, radio or television stations, web sites or any other person or party who may be interested in receiving digital audio content.
[0016] Various aspects of the present invention may be described herein in terms of functional block components and various processing steps. It should be appreciated that such functional blocks may be realized by any number of hardware and/or software components configured to perform the specified functions. For example, the present invention may employ various integrated circuit components, e.g., memory elements, processing elements, logic elements, look-up tables, and the like, which may carry out a variety of functions under the control of one or more microprocessors or other control devices. Similarly, the software elements of the present invention may be implemented with any programming or scripting language such as C, C++, PASCAL, Java, assembler, PERL, PHP, PYTHON, any database programming language or the like, with the various algorithms being implemented with any combination of data structures, objects, processes, routines or other programming elements. Similarly, the invention could be used in conjunction with any type of personal computer, network computer, workstation, minicomputer, mainframe, or other computer running any version of Windows, MacOS, BeOS, Linux, UNIX, Solaris or any other operating system. Further, it should be noted that the present invention might employ any number of conventional techniques for data transmission, signaling, data processing, network control, and the like. For example, radio frequency (RF) or other wireless techniques could be used in place of any network technique described herein. Moreover, although the invention is frequently described herein as being implemented with TCP/IP communications protocols, it will be readily understood that the invention could also be implemented using IPX, Appletalk, IP3, IP-6, NetBIOS, OSI or any number of existing or future protocols.
[0017] It should be appreciated that the particular implementations shown and described herein are illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way. Indeed, for the sake of brevity, conventional data networking, application development and other functional aspects of the systems (and components of the individual operating components of the systems) may not be described in detail herein. Furthermore, the connecting lines shown in the various figures contained herein are intended to represent exemplary functional relationships and/or physical couplings between the various elements. It should be noted that many alternative or additional functional relationships or physical connections may be present in a practical content promotion system.
[0018] To simplify the description of the exemplary embodiments, the invention is frequently described as pertaining to a system of promoting songs. It will be appreciated, however, that many applications of the present invention could be formulated. For example, the present invention could be used to promote or distribute any type of audio information such as songs, advertisements, poetry, lectures, �books on tape�, recited literature, recorded live performances, advertisements, spoken word performances or the like. Moreover, the system could be used to promote and distribute other types of digital content such as audio, visual, audiovisual, multimedia, motion picture, text, object code, or any other form of digital content.
[0019] With reference to FIG. 2A, an exemplary system for promoting audio content includes a server 202 that receives content from various artists 102A, 102B, 102C and provides content to various stations 108A, 108B, and 108C. Content may be provided from artist 102 to server 202 through any technique. For example, artist 102 may create a physical medium 104 such as a compact disk, minidisc, digital audio tape (DAT), analog audio tape, vinyl record or the like that may be physically provided to server 202, as described more fully below. Alternatively, artists 102 may provide audio content directly to server 202 via a digital network (such as the Internet, a corporate network, an Ethernet network, a local or wide area network, a fiber optic network, a dial-up connection, a wireless connection, or via any other sort of network). Audio content may be provided in any format such as MP3, MP4, MIDI, AIFF, AU, WAV or any other format, and may be embedded in an email message, web page or other network transmission packet or technique. Audio content may be processed at server 202 as described below, and provided to stations 108 via the same or another digital network. In an exemplary embodiment, network server 202 is an Internet server that provides audio content to stations 108 via the Internet using conventional protocols such as the user datagram protocol (UDP) or the transmission control protocol (TCP), although of course any networking techniques could be used in various alternate embodiments.
[0020]FIG. 2B is a block diagram of an exemplary embodiment of server 202. With reference now to FIG. 2B, an exemplary system 202 for promoting audio content suitably includes an interface 502 to the Internet or another appropriate digital network, an interface server 504 such as a web server application, and a promotion application 506. Server 202 may be implemented on any computer or workstation such as a personal computer or workstation running any version of the Windows operating system available from the Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Washington. Alternatively, server 202 may run any version of UNIX, LINUX, MacOS, BeOS, Solaris or any other operating system. System 202 will typically include conventional microprocessor, memory and input/output functionality commonly found on such computers. In various embodiments the modules shown in FIG. 2B are implemented on separate computing systems which are configured to operate as a cluster or single server system.
[0021] Network interface 502 may include any suitable network interface card (NIC), cable modem, router or other interface to the digital network. Interface application 504 is any application capable of handling input and output between system 202, artists 102 and/or recipients 108 such as a web server, email server, file transfer protocol (FTP) server, or the like. In an exemplary embodiment, interface application 504 is a web server such as the Apache web server available from the Apache Software Foundation, or any other conventional web server.
[0022] Promotion application 506 may be stored in digital memory on server 202, in a hard drive, or in any other digital storage medium. Various embodiments of promotion application 504 suitably include a registration module 508, a payment module 510 and a promotion module 512. The particular modules described herein are solely to aid in understanding the invention; it should be appreciated that functions and implementations of each module will vary widely from embodiment to embodiment, and in a practical embodiment the particular functionalities of the various modules may be intertwined, handled or divided in different ways.
[0023] An exemplary registration module 508 suitably includes programming instructions (for example in PHP, Java or any other language) for handling registration of artists 102 and recipients 108. Such a module may include routines for obtaining and storing such information in a database associated with server 202. Registration information may be obtained in any manner; users may complete an online form, for example, or may enter information as otherwise prompted by registration module 508. Additional detail about the registration process is described below.
[0024] An exemplary payment module 510 suitably handles tasks associated with processing payment for services performed by server 202. Payment module 510 suitably communicates with registration module 508 or a database of registration information to process credit card payments, bank draft transfers or other forms of payment as appropriate. Payment may be handled at the time of registration, at the time content is provide by an artist 102 or received by a recipient 108, according to any regular interval (e.g. weekly, monthly, annually) or according to any other scheme.
[0025] An exemplary promotion module 512 suitably administers active and/or passive promotion of materials provided by artist 102 to recipients 108. Various embodiments of module 512 suitably include programming instructions to execute receipt of content from artists 102, to query and receive instructions from artist 102 regarding the type of promotion services requested (as well as a list of recipients to be targeted, in some embodiments), to store the content in a database 514 as appropriate, and to execute the desired promotion services. Database 514 is any hierarchial, relational, object-oriented or other database that is capable of storing digital audio content. In various embodiments, �metadata� or other information about the content is also stored in database 514 so that the content may be searched according to content type, audio format, music type, or the like. Exemplary processes for active/passive promotion and other aspects of the promotion process are described below.
[0026]FIGS. 3 and 4 describe exemplary techniques for receiving, processing and promoting audio content. It should be appreciated that the invention may be practiced in any number of ways in addition to the techniques disclosed in the Figures. In particular, the various processing steps disclosed may be processed in any order. For example, content received on a physical media 104 may be converted or �ripped� at any time during processes 300/310/314. Similarly, payment may be processed at any time. The ambit of the present invention includes all of the various permutations, orders and combinations of executing the various steps described herein.
[0027] With reference to FIG. 3, an exemplary method 300 for receiving audio content from an artist 102 suitably includes one or more artists 102 generating audio content (step 302) and storing the content on a digital or analog medium (step 304) such as a hard drive, random access memory (RAM), minidisc, digital audio tape, floppy disk, optical disk or any other digital storage medium. The content is suitably provided to server 202 (FIG. 2), either directly via a computer network via email, web page, or the like (if the medium is an MP3 or other digital audio file) or via physical shipping, carrying or otherwise providing the storage medium to be read by server 202 (if the medium is a compact disk, DAT, or other physical medium). The content may be stored on a hard drive, optical drive, memory or other storage device on server 302 at this point, or the content may be maintained in the shipping medium, as appropriate. If the artist is previously enrolled in the promotion service (step 306), the content may be processed as desired (steps 310, 312, and 314) and as described more fully below. If the artist is not previously enrolled in the promotion service, an optional enrollment process (step 308) executes at server 202 to obtain identifying information about the artist. Identifying information may include name, address, email address, or other contact information as well as optional demographic information and information about the content or type of content typically generated by the artist, as appropriate. In various embodiments, payment information (such as a credit card number) may also be requested during enrollment. When sufficient and appropriate information about artist 102 is obtained, server 202 may create an account for artist 102 that may be stored in an optional database at server 202, for example. The account may include a userid/password combination, or another form of identifying credential (such as a public/private key encryption pair, a digital signature, cookie, or any other sort of credential) so that artist 102 may bypass the enrollment process 308 in subsequent connections to server 202.
[0028] Processing of the content suitably includes placing the content in a suitable format and providing the content to the server as appropriate (step 310), selecting services required (step 312), and performing the services requested (step 314) as described more fully below. In alternate embodiments, step 310 may be modified or eliminated as appropriate, as the content may already be provided in a suitable format. Content may be stored in a database associated with server 202 in association with information about the content as described more fully below. Artists 102 may be suitably prompted to select active or passive promotion, particular recipients or classes of recipients, or the like (step 312). Additionally, artist 102 may be asked to provide information about the content, such as a description of a song, type of music, instrumention, or the like. Such selections and information may be stored and/or processed by the server as described below in conjunction with FIG. 4.
[0029] Artists 102 may be billed, invoiced or otherwise charged for promotional services as appropriate (step 316). For example, artists could be charged a monthly or annual fee for unlimited use of the service; artists could be charged a flat fee to promote each song or other article of content; artists could be charged differing rates for active or passive promotion; artists could be charged for each target or recipient of promoted materials; or any other scheme could be formulated. In other embodiments, artists may not be charged for some or all services, or certain services may be provided free of charge to promote service 300.
[0030] Various embodiments also register and process recipients 108 as appropriate. Recipients 108 may contact server 202 via email, HTML, network connection or any other digital technique, or they may request enrollment via telephone, in person or any other means. In various embodiments, the recipient enrollment process suitably includes obtaining contact information (name, address, email address, phone number and/or the like), along with content preferences for the type of content that the recipient would like to receive. Certain types of recipients may want to receive pop and R&B content, for example, while others may select �rock�, �alternative� or the like. Of course a virtually infinite number of categorizations could be formulated in the various embodiments. Recipients 108 may also provide payment information at registration in certain embodiments so that they can be charged for receiving the content as appropriate. Recipients 108 may be charged according to any scheme such as a weekly, annual or monthly flat fee, or according to the number of bytes/minutes/items of content received, or otherwise. In other embodiments, recipients 108 may be provided with content free-of-charge, or recipients may be encouraged to join the system with free memberships, promotions, or the like.
[0031] With reference now to FIG. 4, an exemplary technique 314 for processing and promoting the audio content suitably includes transforming the content to a desired format (such as MP3 or another digital format), if required (step 402) and actively and/or passively promoting the content. As briefly described above, converting the audio content may involve transferring information from a DAT, compact disk or other physical media. Such a transformation may be performed, for example, by a conventional �ripping� program such as the AudioCatalyst program available from the Xing corporation, or by any other program. Audio content may be converted to any desired format such as MP3, MP4, MPEG, WAV, AU, AIFF, MIDI or any other format and stored on a harddrive, optical drive, writable compact disk, memory, network file server, or other storage device as appropriate (step 406). In various embodiments, audio files may be categorized according to content type, music type, artist, style, record label, instrumentation, genre or any other type of categorization as appropriate. Such categorization information may be obtained from the artist or may be entered by an administrator after reviewing the content, or from any other source. Categorization information may be stored in a database with server 202 for later search and retrieval.
[0032] Promotion of the audio content may be active, passive, and/or a combination of active and passive techniques. Active promotion (steps 408 and 410) may involve actively providing the audio content, a description of the audio content, and/or a link to the audio content from server 202 to one or more recipients 108, as appropriate. The particularly content promoted to any recipient 108 may be suitably tailored to the particular recipient by comparing the categorization information stored with the content to the content preferences provided by recipient 108. Content may be provided via email, via a specialized application, through conventional TCP/IP or web page techniques, though conventional �push� techniques, or through any other means.
[0033] Passive promotion may involve categorizing or otherwise determining audio content that a particular recipient 108 may be interested in, and then providing a list of such content when the recipient �logs in� or otherwise contacts server 202. In the passive promotion model, recipients may be assigned accounts with userid/password pairs or other digital credentials to maintain security (see above). When a representative of a particular recipient 108 presents the appropriate credentials, a suitable list of audio content may be provided and the recipient 108 may select desired content to review, download or otherwise process. Alternatively, a search engine may be provided that allows the recipient 108 to search for a particular artist, song, record label or style of music. Recipients 108 may also be charged for access to server 202, as appropriate, and as described above. Of course, other types of promotion schemes could be formulated. A combination of active and passive promotion techniques, for example, could involve sending a brief description of a particular song or other bit of content to a station 108 and allowing a representative of station 108 to contact server 202 for more information, to sample the content, or to actually obtain the audio content.
[0034] In various embodiments of active and/or passive promotion, recipients 108 may obtain the actual content produced by artist 102 via server 202, thus reducing the need for artist 102 to create, distribute and promote physical media embodying the audio content. In contrast, recipients 108 may directly download content from server 202 in, for example, MP3 format that can be reviewed, duplicated and played on-air as appropriate. It will therefore be understood that the use of server 202 as a distribution and promotion channel effectively reduces the costs and time required in the prior art to create compact disks or other media, to distribute the media, and to effectively promote the audio content.
[0035] The corresponding structures, materials, acts and equivalents of all elements in the claims below are intended to include any structure, material or acts for performing the functions in combination with other claimed elements as specifically claimed. The scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given above. No element describe herein shall be interpreted as essential for the practice of the invention unless expressly described herein as �necessary� or �required�.
