Idea Day56: Pre-Roll Ads on MP3?

Posted by Timothy Chen

It’s may not be a brand new idea, but I found it very interesting. Since listening to music is a very personal thing, I’m wondering whoever wants to be interrupted by ads (of course audio ones) before the beginning of each song? On the other hand, it’s truly a solution for labels to release their DRM-free MP3 s while keep them staying profitable.

Maybe invite singers to be vocals of the ads? An ad about their next concerts? About their newest album (or coming soon)? Who says audio ads can’t be contextual? I believe fans will love to hear ads all about(form) their beloved singers, and their endorsed products, especially if they are willing to sing some jingles .
