Audiofile XL – MusicDNA

Similar to the infamous iTunesLP audioformat that includes videos, pictures and multimedia additions (besides the standard audio files and coverartwork), a new file format entitled MusiDNA has entered the battlefield of digital downloads versus physical sound carriers. Norwegian developer Dagfinn Bach, wo was responsible for the creation of the “Mp3″-format, introduced MusicDNA at music business conference MIDEM in France.

Besides videos, lyrics and extended artwork, MusicDNA is capable of carrying blog-information that can be continously updated everytime the user/file-owner goes online. A file size up to 32GB is possible.

MusicDNA is said to be released in late summer 2010. Leading recordlabels have already shown large interest and iTunesLP-inventors Apple will definitely keep an eye open, too.
