NPR Music Launches Online Music Channel

What better time than the 10th anniversary of NPR Music’s All Songs Considered to launch a new online music channel that provides a non-stop mix of every song ever played on ‘All Songs Considered’ since its debut in January 2000.

Bob Boilen and Robin Hilton, co-hosts of NPR Music’s ‘All Songs Considered,’ marked the special occasion of their 10 years of helping audiences discover new music with the debut of All Songs 24/7 Music Channel.

The All Songs 24/7 Music Channel seemed like a logical step for Boilen and Hilton, especially when you consider the enormous catalogue of music the duo have amassed in 10 years of spotlighting new music on All Songs Considered

Boilen saved a playlist of every track ever featured – from the first song from a then-undiscovered Justin Vernon, to guest DJ sets from Radiohead’s Thom Yorke or filmmaker John Waters.

By turning the archive into an online stream, NPR Music gives music fans a nice opportunity to enjoy favorite tracks any time, any day; the stream is continuously updated with material from each new show to keep it fresh for listeners.

At the All Songs Considered blog, Boilen offers his thoughts on the show’s past decade of music discovery, and reposts the first ever All Songs from the first week of January, 2000.

In addition to the new mix channel, All Songs Considered is available weekly as streaming audio and for download at www.npr.org/allsongs, as well as a podcast and a radio broadcast.

Boilen created All Songs Considered as a Web-only program in January 2000, after receiving countless letters from listeners wanting to know more about the music that he, as director, played between stories on the NPR newsmagazine All Things Considered. Hilton joined All Songs Considered shortly after its creation.

The Emmy-nominated and Webby-winning show features roundtable discussions about new music, reviews, live concerts, artist interviews and guest DJ appearances.

The channel is also included in the NPR Music app for iPhone.

Music Collabration

There are a variety of sources for anyone seeking music online . However, the legality of these online music sources varies from one service to another. Some methods which were once illegal means of obtaining music online have since become legal, while some sites which allow users to download music remain outside of the law. The most popular method of online music delivery however is completely legal.

Online music downloads were first made popular by the application Napster. Napster was founded in June 1999 by Sean Fanning and Sean Parker. Fanning, a student at Northeastern University in Boston was searching for a simple method to find music online without having to go through existing search engines to find online music. Although MP3 music downloads were already popular before the creation of Napster, it was the first application to provide a centralized database, and a simple and user-friendly interface for people looking for music online. The popularity of the service peaked in February of 2001, with 26.4 million verified users around the world using the application to download music. However, the record companies, upset that people were able to obtain music online without paying for them organized themselves into the Recording Industry Association of America and sought an injunction against Napster because online music downloads without paying the record companies violated copyright. A March 2001 court injunction forced Napster to cease allowing users to download music. Napster was forced to shut down for a period of time. In an attempt to satisfy the restitution it was obliged to provide the RIAA, Napster attempted to charge for online music. After whetting its appetite with free music downloads the public found other options.
