As an online radio programmer and DJ, I need to consider ways to better the process of music discovery. A  listening experience refers more to the technological aspects of the user interface that includes usability and audio quality. Discovery – how users find music – is a big part of this equation and is the focus of this piece.

So…what the heck is non-linearity?

I constantly think about ways to use digital tools for sharing music with those who friend or follow me. So far, the process is far from linear. Meaning, there is no singular place to go for sharing music with others because music fans are scattered. There are many methods for listening, and countless ways of communicating what it is we’d like to share.

Apple and Google are both being sued under the recent discovery that the iPhone and Android smartphones track users wherever they go. 

Apple stated that they have never tracked users’ locations, but admitted to a bug that inherently collects user data by logging a complete history of travels by way of timestamped latitude and longitude. This week, they announced a software update that prevents the iPhone and iPad from storing these movements.
