OurSound – The Asia-Pacific Song Contest is deemed to become Asia’s biggest music entertainment programme ever. Finally will be launched in the second half of 2009, this was confirmed by Asiavision Pte. Ltd. in Singapore.
OurSound is an annual Asia-wide programme. Top artists from up to 16 Asian nations will compete for the honour of taking the OurSound title to their country. “OurSound is not another talent hunt. The participants are professional, established artist and celebrities. Together with guest performances from international superstars this will add to an extravaganza Asia has not seen before,” says Andreas Gerlach, CEO of Asiavision.
The Grand Final, scheduled for November 2009, will stretch over an entire weekend, starting with the Performance Show on Friday night and culminating in the Winners Show on Sunday night. The participating stars will be chosen in National Selections in each country by public vote. National Selections will start in July 2009.
“Asiavision is only initiating and financing the contest“, says Andreas Gerlach. „The most important decisions are made by our broadcasting partners in the markets and by the Asian people. They decide who participates. They decide who wins. Thus the people of Asia may rightfully claim: This is our song contest. The winning song is our sound. Consequently we decided to call the programme OurSound instead of Asiavision Song Contest“, Andreas Gerlach explains.
Over the next years OurSound plans to increase the number of participants up to 33 countries. In the inaugural year the number of contestants will be limited to 15. While key markets are confirmed already, Asiavision has not yet made final decisions in others and is still in the conversations with potential channels.

New name and logo
ABU has been operating a daily exchange of news by satellite among television stations under the name of Asiavision for more than 20 years and wanted to avoid any confusions with the new event.
By changing the name Asiavision Pte. Ltd., also met a request by the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU). “We understood and respected this concern. ABU and its members are excellent partners for us and we are glad that we were able to come up with a better solution”, says Andreas Gerlach, CEO of Asiavision.

Spotify es una pequeña aplicación para Windows y Mac que nos permite escuchar la música sin tener que esperar ninguna precarga. Todas las canciones se podrán escuchar de forma completa! Es si estuvieramos escuchando el catalogo intero de iTunes Store en streaming juntos a los algoritmos de descubrimiento de artistas de last.fm. Digitando Eurovision en el campo de búsqueda, descubriremos algunas versiones de las inolvidables canciones que han partecipado durante esos los años… Os lo aconsejamos! Esa es la página oficial.
Estas son 4 cosas que tal vez no sabían del servicio que tanto nos gusta:
1. Spotify no requiere de una conexión muy rápida: al ser sólo audio puedes transferir la música en alta calidad con una línea de 256 kilobits/segundo. De hecho funciona bien con conexiones celulares 3G.
2. Spotify usa Ogg Vorbis: lo cual permite hacer streaming de música en calidad bastante alta a 160kilobits/segundo. Es un formato totalmente abierto, libre de patentes o de regalías. No porque no esté el archivo en tu disco duro se tiene que sacrificar calidad de audio.
3. Spotify permite búsquedas avanzadas: por ejemplo, es posible encontrar todos los discos bajo un estilo musical usando genre:rock o genre:rap. También se puede buscar álbums de un periodo de tiempo escribiendo cosas como: year:1995-1998 o year:2000:2009
4. Spotify es P2P: los usuarios que tienen el software abierto donan una parte muy pequeña de su ancho de banda, cuando escuchan una canción, el stream no proviene desde un servidor central necesariamente, también se obtiene de otras personas que han escuchado la misma canción y tienen los datos en cache. De esa manera se reduce costos y no hay saturación del servicio si muchos usuarios están escuchando música.
