The creator and the developer of the first mp3 player format have come up with a new music file format which will provide a lot of information regarding the song as well. It will inform the user of many different things such as videos, lyrics etc. of the song.

According to the developers, the new format, called MusicDNA, can carry 32GB of extra information in addition to the song. This information can be updated at the convenience of the user. The process is simple and all the user needs to do is to connect to the internet and interesting information like the interviews with the singers etc. will get added to the song. All the format needs is that the information should be available online.

Dagfinn Bach, the creator of this new format, recently said in a music conference that the format is dynamic and a very good thing about it is that it can carry a large quantity of the information which can be updated automatically.

While the format has been disclosed to the world recently, it will be launched in a beta version in the spring of 2010. It will be available in the market by the summer of 2010 in a full-fledged format.

However, MusicDNA faces stiff competition from iTunes, which not only provides extra information but also has the support of many music labels. Thus many say MusicDNA has a struggle ahead if it wants to control the market.

Music is important because it appears in all aspects of our lives, from the mundane. Music is an elevator, sometimes music “on the phone” to the exciting “Brass or strings, when played with brio, lift our spirits to the sky. A research was conducted by the University of Leicester across three weeks and monitored the effects of classical and pop music and background silence on consumers’ buying behaviour. It revealed that classical background music has a serious impact on the spending process while a customer is at the restaurant.

It is proven that the type of music we listen to has an important affect on our performance and bodily response. Classical music from the baroque period causes the heart beat and pulse rate to relax to the beat of the music. As the body becomes relaxed and alert, the mind is able to concentrate more easily. Music therapy is a popular and growing field for good reason. Actually, music benefits to your state of mind. Yes it’s true, and that even after you’ve stopped listening. A recently published research concludes that classical music encourages diners to spend more money by helping them feel more affluent.

Many hospitals and nursing homes use music as recreation, since it brings patients pleasure. But beyond the entertainment value, there’s growing evidence that listening to background music can also help stimulate seemingly lost memories and even help restore some cognitive function. Music has been found to bring many benefits, yes it’s true, there are benefits such as lowering blood pressure (which can also reduce the risk of stroke) as well as many others. Music helps businesses grow and keeps customers coming back, even in a downturn. For example the pub industry is getting all the benefit it can from using music in that sort of public area. Museums usually incorporate some form of music into their cultural displays, making them that much more powerful. It’s impossible not to feel something as you gaze at Genghis Khan’s armor in a museum display and hear the same sort of music that he would have heard, or view a Hindu funeral pyre while listening to Indian music.

Lady Gaga tried, unsuccessfully, to keep a low profile yesterday as she left the set of Gossip Girl in New York - where she filmed scenes for an upcoming cameo appearance in the show.

Rumours have been circulating about the singer’s appearance in the TV show for a while now, but so far the producers of Gossip Girl have kept what they’ve got in store for GaGa’s cameo under wraps.

However Penn Badgley (who plays Dan Humphrey in the series) hinted at what the Just Dance songstress will be getting up to on the show when he said: “I don’t want to give away too much, but she will perform a little bit.”

Madonna says she sees a lot of herself in Lady Gaga.

The Queen of Pop insists she can relate to the Poker Face hitmaker because, like Lady GaGa, she had no money at the start of her career.

“I see myself in Lady Gaga,” Madge tells Rolling Stone in a new interview. “When I saw her, she didn’t have a lot of money for her production. she’s got holes in her fishnets, and there’s mistakes everywhere. It was kind of a mess, but I can see that she has that IT Factor. It’s nice to see that at a raw stage.”

The Holiday hitmaker also opened up about working with Justin Timberlake.

“Justin is a brilliant songwriter,” she said. “I mean, What Goes Around…..Comes Around? Brilliant. I thought it would be a challenge to work with him. He’s sort of a Cary Grant. I love him. I love working with him.”

The star also admits she thinks some of the songs that turned out to be her biggest hits including Into The Groove sound “retarded”.

YouTube stripped music videos from its UK website in March after it failed to reach an agreement with PRS over royalties.

Thousands of official music videos are to return to YouTube after the video-sharing website resolved a dispute with the songwriters’ association, PRS for Music.

But the dispute, which attracted widespread criticism, has ended after the website agreed to pay an undisclosed lump sum to PRS as part of a deal lasting until 2012.

“We are pleased to announce that an agreement for a licence has been reached and both PRS for Music and YouTube are happy that the negotiations resulted in a mutually acceptable deal,” YouTube said in a statement.

“As a result of the new agreement, premium music videos in the UK are coming back to YouTube - this is good for songwriters and composers, music fans and YouTube.”

The videos are due to be reinstated on the video-sharing website over the coming days.

In addition to existing videos, fans can also expect to see new material from other record labels as a result of the deal.YouTube has lifted a block on U.K. users viewing official music videos after the Web site reached an agreement with songwriters’ group PRS for Music, the BBC reports on its Web site Thursday.

Auction house Bonhams & Goodmans said Michael Jackson’s glove, which went under the hammer in Melbourne late on Sunday, was the first to go on sale since the superstar’s death on June 25.

A crystal-encrusted white glove worn by late pop icon Michael Jackson has sold for 57,600 dollars (49,000 US) in Australia, doubling the auctioneer’s estimate after a frenzied bidding war.

The right-hand glove, made of white spandex and covered with hand-sewn clear crystals, was snapped up by the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in the United States.

Bonhams & Goodmans said Jackson wore the trademark glove to the Sydney premiere of his film “Ghosts” on November 15, 1996.

The King of Pop was in Australia for the HIStory World Tour at the time and earlier in the day had married his second wife Debbie Rowe.

Music journalist Peter Holmes and his friend Bill Hibble were apparently among the few audience members who laughed at the jokes in the short horror spoof and Jackson threw the glove to Hibble in thanks. The Michael Jackson Thriller album is set to the biggest selling album of the year because of the star’s death.

Hibble has since died and his father put the glove up for sale.

Las Vegas Hard Rock curator Warwick Stone said the glove would sit alongside memorabilia from Elvis Presley and Sex Pistol guitarist Sid Vicious.

“Michael Jackson gave it to someone in public in Australia and most collectors of Michael Jackson memorabilia knew about this glove,” Stone told public broadcaster ABC.

“I’ve got the chain that used to hang around Sid Vicious’s neck, I’ve got one of Elvis’s .357 magnums which he used to shoot TVs with.”

Stone said three more Jackson gloves were scheduled to come on to the market in the United States later this year but added: “I think I got the bargain.”
