The mp3 for the music were a revolution, but some say the future is yet to come. What's next iPod music online? Other formats, other modes of distribution? None of that. In the future there will be a system capable of suggesting the music to listen and not rely only on opinions of friends or members of any community: tomorrow we will have a digital ear.
With the iPod have all the music just a click away at online stores like iTunes and we think we have all the songs you want. We believe, but it is not true. In fact there are studies that say now as we only search for one of the first songs played 100,000 for all types of music: the remaining millions of songs engraved in the world we can not find them.

relies on the work of other people: at Amazon are suggested choices of other people who bought the same song, Pandora Music Genome Project relies on the drafting of which contributes to the behavior of the users, the interactive radio Last.fm to understand personal tastes relies on tags placed by listeners and even guitariste organize songs based on their color in the rainbow ....
To overcome the obvious limitations of these methods, the only real alternative is to study the Brams (Centre for Research on the brain and music) in Montreal, Canada, a center that conducts studies in the middle ; between neuroscience and artificial intelligence and trying to classify the music directly from audio. How? Creating a true electronic ear.
An ear able to hear the music we love and then suggest similar songs more or less known and enlarge so really our musical horizons. Obviously a system like this would affect the enjoyment of music and then the whole music market. But also open up important opportunities in the medical field, for example in the development of a new generation of hearing aids, rather than in music production.
