I have a mini which is dedicated for bt transmit to a pair of earclips - casual listening to radio & podcasts.
What do you think the future holds for digital music/audio ?
i think wiim is trying to appeal to the mainstream 'decerning' listener and not 'audiofools' .. the fact that some have adopted the wiim i think is mainly because its very good value package. Many non 'audiofools' will indeed want to stream content from their mobile devices using 'hi res' bluetooth protocols.
As Mr Darko has explained many times the 'format argument' is a bit misleading and a unit that is based on 'hi res' audio streaming including 'next gen wireless streaming' to me that means not just 'wifi' but also bluetooth.

.. i don't think so 
just a question .. so who do you think would 'own' or control the Ai versions ?, especially as 'so called Ai' is harvesting 'our' data.
This is exactly the point and not clearly defined. There are „guidelines“ along the EU Act, the regulatory bible of the EU, but things are still defined vaguely and outside the EU is the wild-west. There will be lots of „cort-walks“, this is for sure…
As long it is not even a given that it is marked where AI is part of, it is going to be a long way. Unless a major „terrifying“ incident - a wake up call of some sort - takes place…

Can not imagine speakers which are able to play that wake-up call loud enough.
at the moment i think these 'free' Ai platforms make you sign an agreement that they have control of anything produced on 'their' platform and people are happy to do that whilst they 'play' with the software, but the whole purpose is to 'harvest' as much of our data as possible without any cost to the 'Ai' company.
Using your phone requires you agree to a EULA loads of pages of legal stuff that nobody reads or understands but basically takes away any 'legal' rights you 'think' you might have to your own data and information.
Obviously this can happen anywhere in respect to AI.
The ai owner or if they are clever perhaps a separate ai. I don’t know very scary times as they use existing works to build the ai. Should an ai have to quote what they used?
Of course it should! But it is probably impossible, as they consume so many sources that it‘ll be impossible to quote what it ised for what…
One of the many legal aspects that are ahead of us…

Ultimately, AI will own everything in its own right - humans will become irrelevant. This is a paradigm shift of unknown outcomes for humanity.

Marketing and advertising will slither into music more and more. You think the song is about cookie the singer likes but it is an ad for the cookie brand. This is already happening. So, business will, once again, help destroy the music industry.It cant be long before the 'digital' music/audio we store and stream will carry additional information apart from track info and album art etc .. maybe the artist's preferred 'EQ' settings or 'sound shape' could be added and your replay equipment would adjust automatically to artist's 'EQ' for each track. After all blu ray carries loads of additional info.
I read that this track/artist is 'alleged' to be Ai created .. what do you think ?

Sometimes a song in an advert reminds me of a classic@Dude ... don't you just hate it when they 'steal' a great tune for advertising, its like they dug into your musical soul, robbed you and mock you every time that advert plays just the main riff from your precious memory ..

of course, I am not referring to that but an advertiser and artist co creating. Much worse. This post song thing is fine. Nothing lives in amber forever but, if it originates purely to sell soap or soda or cars, but if it is a love song, it becomes a retched cultural abomination.@Dude ... don't you just hate it when they 'steal' a great tune for advertising, its like they dug into your musical soul, robbed you and mock you every time that advert plays just the main riff from your precious memory ..
