...provides personalized music playlists. Experts rated songs on as many as 500 different musical attributes or “genes”. Each gene corresponds to a music characteristic, such as gender of the lead vocalist, level of distortion on the electric guitar, syncopation, and vocal harmonies, to name just a few. Pandora has two subscription plans. On the free plan the listener will hear advertisments now and then and there is a user limit of 40 hour-per-month listening maximum and twelve total skips every 24-hours. For $36 a year, the subscription‐based plan provides members with unlimited listening hours, higher‐quality audio, a desktop player, and no ads. Pandora later developed a smartphone app, which also can be connected to some cars, which makes it easier for consumers to use Pandora in their cars. 2. The horizontal conflict impacts Pandora the most because their main product, music, can be found in a lot of different ways. Pandora has a lot of competition, for example, Itunes and emusic. The idea of Pandora is to create a personalized radio station. Itunes provides a way of creating your own playlist, which is simmilar to the product of Pandora. 3. Pandora uses a lot of different ways to distribute their music. They have a website, a smartphone app and they have installed systems in several cars for consumers to acces Pandora in their car via Web-connected apps. 4. Pandora will be succesful in the future because a consumer will have a diverse playlist which changes automatically...

...developer experienced with peer-to-peer framework with the intent of connecting the music listener directly to the labels. Due to the nature of that relationship there is a need to negotiate with music labels for launch on a country-to-country basis, starting with their initial launch in Sweden in 2008. They are currently available in 57 countries with a limited launch currently underway in Canada and the Phillipines. The basic service offered by Spotify is the ability for users to create custom playlists that can be played through any internet connection. Spotify has two distinct product offerings, Spotify and Spotify Premium. Spotify Premium members pay a monthly subscription fee but have access to their playlists offline on multiple devices, thus having all the perks of owning the music while just paying $120 a year. Beyond that, Spotify is known for their social media interaction – users can interact with their friends and share playlists, and users can also follow the playlists of their favorite artists. Songs can be found by title, artist, or cd name, and various apps are available to enhance the service, such as radio streaming. Sean Parker, founder of Napster, invested $15M in Spotify through the venture capital firm the Founder’s Fund, and provided invaluable services with assistance in creating deals with music labels and with Facebook (Seufer, pg 23). A year after their initial launch Spotify had 6.5 million registered users, but as of May 2014 they now have...

...CA 99778 Mr. Levinson How are you doing? Hope you’re well! Has it been hot in California? It’s been really hot in Houston. But, that’s not why I’m writing to you. Let me explain… You see, I’ve been having issues with my I-Pod that I bought two months ago from a Best Buy store about nine miles from my home. (I’ve included the receipt to show you that I did in fact buy the I-Pod.) This I-Pod has been driving me crazy, and I am requesting that you send me a new I-Pod. You see, I have created five playlists, but whenever I get to the screen that lists those playlists, it only lists four, and it leaves off my favorite playlist. For some reason that playlist is loaded under the Podcast section. It’s very strange. Also, when I have called the help-desk at Apple, the person I’m talking with has not been very helpful. (I think her name was Mary. Can you talk to her supervisor?) So, obviously, it’s easy to see that because my playlist is not with the other playlists on my I-Pod, something is OBVIOUSLY defective, and I always assumed Apple made the best products. I’m sure you don’t want me talking to all my friends about how they shouldn’t buy Apple products. (I have lots of friends with lots of money to spend.) I really appreciate you taking the time to read my letter, and I hope you’re feeling well. Let me know if you need more information. Take care! Julie Groesch P.S.: You can send my new I-Pod (a blue Nano, please) to the address listed...

...well as suggest music on the basis of the clothes people choose. Partnering with the streaming services – I would choose Deezer, since it is new to American market and also needs advertising partners. UO also can launch a commercial campaign on Deezer in the way of pre-roll audio that shows the method of clothing-music binding and gives the viewer download app immediately. I would also add audio insert message advertising UO in Spotify app when user chooses particular playlists (like Indie music, all mood-based playlists, etc.). I wouls also try programmatic ad-buying platform for the UO, since it is good at identifying target audience. And UO fans are really particular audience that is easyly identified by age, life-style, music preferences, household income, geographics, level of education, type of job. Thanks to programmatic system company will be able to use DCO technology, that will allow totarget different kinds of target audience (for example with different music tastes) with different types of playlists-outfits allowed by the app: more grungy look for pop-punk listeners, more...

...and being with my friends listening to good songs. The first genre of my playlist is that of hip hop, the reason of this is because this is the genre that I have always been more comfortable with. The songs that I have picked are Rick Owens by Jose Guapo, March Madness by Future, and finally that of New Level by A$AP Ferg. The reason these songs are my favorite, as of now, is because of the beats. I have always been a fan of songs with smooth textures and heavy bass. Also, along with the bass, hip hop has a certain tempo that really makes people, myself included, really want to go out and accomplish things. Hip hop has a bad reputation of not being the cleanest of genres but the genre does not get the credit of the lyrics of inspiration and hope. Those songs invoke a certain mood of upbeat and all around happiness for me. The second genre that I have in my playlist is that of medieval, or classical, music. This genre is something that I am not too familiar with but I chose it because of the looping and fusion of it. The songs are 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky, Requiem by Mozart, and all of the symphony’s by Beethoven. These songs were chosen by me, for motivation, because their looping and loud sounds. These are really good songs to work out to because they allow you to become entranced. The third and final genre of my playlist is most likely the smoothest of them all and that is jazz. The songs on my playlist are that of Luck Be A Lady Tonight – Frank Sinatra, Come Fly – Frank Sinatra...

...Throwing a good party is an art. Everyone can throw a party but it takes someone with experience and the know-how to throw one that all the guests will enjoy. A party can be a horrible experience if there’s no prior planning, direction and organization to make it work out. This essay will be the guide to planning the perfect party for young adults one step at a time. The first step will be choosing the right venue. One should pick a venue according to how many people are attending. If it is just a small gathering of not more than 10, pick a smaller venue. Too much space would result in the guests wandering around, limiting interactions and thus, making the party unenjoyable. Pick a larger venue if the number of guests is huge. A lack of space would deny the necessary space required for the guests to feel comfortable. One should also consider the location of the venue. The venue cannot be too inaccessible to the guests. The venue should also have some essential equipments, such as speakers for music or tables and chairs for the guests. A venue that meets the requirements of the party will make the guests feel comfortable and allowing them to enjoy what is planned ahead. The second step is to invite the guests. One should invite like-minded people or people from similar groups. This will allow the invited guests to have meaningful interaction throughout the party. Avoid inviting people that you know will clash with each other or have an obvious dislike for one another...

...You are experienced in information management and its benefits and challenges. You manage online accounts across multiple mobile devices and computers—and social media, texts, photos, videos, music, docs, address books, events, downloads, and other content that make up your digital library. Not being able to transfer and synchronize whenever you add a device or app is annoying and inefficient. To simplify add-ons, upgrades, sharing, and access, you might leverage cloud services such as iTunes, Instagram, Diigo, and Box.net. At some point, a user may want to start over with the latest mobile device—and re-organize everything to make dealing with information and devices easier. That's a glimpse at the information management situations facing organizations today—and why a plan is needed to guide, control, and govern IT growth. As with building construction (e.g., Figure 2.1), blueprints and models help guide and govern IT assets. Image from book Figure 2.1: Blueprints and models, like those used for building construction, are needed to guide and govern an enterprise's IT assets. To better reflect organizational content, the term information management is used instead of data management. The most potentially valuable and challenging type is human information—the semistructured or unstructured content generated by humans from social media, mobile devices, search engines, and sensors as well as texts, images, audio, and video. To function in the big, cloudy, mobile and social world...

...KPWR 106 Radio Channel Analysis Radios have been around for more than 100 years now and it has played a big role in our modern society. Through radio, news, music and advertisements have thrived. However, as technology advanced time after time, the radio stations had many other stations to compete with. For this assignment, I chose KPWR 106 which is hip-hop station to examine and learn why this station is a successful one. I think there are two types of radio personalities: those that plan an actual show, and those that have no idea what they want to talk until the station starts. A planned show keeps the listeners tuned in and makes the listeners want to come back to it often. PWR 106 is seems unplanned but maintains the good hit playlist and engaging talks. There are several things to keep in mind, which I have learned from this assignment. The time frame was 10:30 to 11:30 in the morning on March 19th,2014. The station was called KPWR106 and it mainly played rap, hip-hop and R&B. The Format of the show kind of unique. The first 15 minutes, it played 2 music back to back and then one 30 second commercial and repeated once more. However after 15 minute mark, it had about 9 commercials non-stop 15 to 30 second playing time each. Following the unending commercials, 9 songs were played non-stop again, each one playing for about 3 minutes. So in total there were total of 18 commercials for about 11 minutes. They advertised auto insurance, school degree programs, loans...
