Hi everyone,

We're looking to the future for our HiSi feature and would like to get your input. We feel that we've just scratched the surface on HiSi and would like to get your thoughts on where we should take it. Please comment here. Thanks, SK.

-One of the three big stations I get is in spanish (99.9). Sometimes I listen to it and hear many things I don't understand. Many times there will be a catchy song and I will have absolutly no idea who sings it or what it is called. For songs in spanish HiSi is totally off.

-If it would be possible to get lyrics based on the HiSi result it would be really useful. There are three things I never know about songs on the radio... the title, artist, and the lyrics.

If we get a "best guess" instead of a solid answer, could we have the ability to browse the, say, best 10 guesses?

This has been mentioned before, but ID3 tag correction. I'll admit, I was lazy when ripping CDs, now I've got a lot of tracks that I would like to have the year/album/genre/etc, corrected.

If there was ID3 correction it is very important that it asks before correcting.

Instant HiSi.

On an internet connected Neuros (via WiFi, bluetooth, USB, or whatever), HiSi will access the database and display results immediately after acquiring the music signature.

Is there possibility to use HiSi to mass correct ID tags on PC.

Anything is possible. We had a small discussion about this here: http://www.neurosaudio.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=964.

It would probably take quite a while to do this with HiSi, though.

Linux HiSi!!!

For those of us who will not be using NSM ever or very often, a Linux HiSi client would be nice.

How soon is "soon", given that it's been about two and a half months since last anything's been said about this?

I saw it mentioned once before, but being able to link into a purchase would be a convenience to the users and presumably generate some referal commissions for DI.

YES YES YES YES YES! There are no applications out there (that i can find) that accomplish this task. it wouldn't even need to be done by MiSi... it could simply be done with automated CDDB searches based on filename and what ID3 info is on the file, displaying possible results for the users.

but it would be pretty awesome if it could be done by misi. talk about a sale-clincher for the neuros!

my $.02:

1 provide open API to query server
2 provide open API to add info to server
3 open algorithm to take "fingerprints"

such way a significant mp3\ogg\music community will be exited about neuros "fingerprints" and DI will get free advertisement among us geeks at no cost (note - absolutely legal, without any well known copyright problems this times) and definitely will jump over competitors with their shy music abilities

You have to balance free advertising against giving away the store.
There has been some concern posted that they don't want to pay to support a service that is so open that people can use it without actually having a Neuros.

Maybe they could have access controlled by a key hashed off your serial number, and the usual secure key transmission methods. If a key shows way excessive use (indicating it has "gotten loose," then you get shut down.

Good point. I was thinking about it... Here is the thing: protecting technology won't really help to grow it - I bet I can come up with something like this by myself (well, I agree it won't be as robust as it is by DI at the beginning...), you don't have to be Einstein to do it. Thus, sooner or later, similar things will appear. If DI will direct the "wave" - DI will greatly benefit from it (except of, probably, paying for hosting the server and support of back-end, which can be resolved as well, lets leave it apart, this is different story).
So, I think (and I can prove it), if DI will lead in the process - DI will profit at least (which is a lot already) by pushing HiSi to masses and being the only player that have such technology on it. It is the matter of time other manufactures will implement something similar IMHO.

Hosting and back-end: it is possible to create kinda distributed network for exchange digital fingerprints, or mirrors to host such collections... At least the way it is done with CDDB.

fundamentally, I agree, but there are two issues. The first is compensating the various partners in the chain. We license the technology that makes HiSi possible and we need to compensate those folks and we need to find a way to do that in any model. If we pay them for every download, it could get expensive.

Second is simply the setup costs. Creating both the front end and the algorithms that discern which user entered data should be accepted and which rejected will take some work. Any volunteers interested in helping :) ?

I did not see that coming , somewhere deep inside I hoped that DI own this technology.

I don't really believe there is a way to limit access to front end (to the "HiSi fingerprints database") if you will "open" something. You guys have to come up with another plan to do it without putting any restriction (which seems possible btw).

It seems to me that Musicbrainz http://www.musicbrainz.org/ provides pretty much the same functionality, in an open manner, including a way to rate the data quality, and an already large existing volunteer base.

Why can't they implement some type of authentication on the front end. Do a one-time Hisi registration via SS that stores a key/hash based on Nueros serial number/ User name/ Password, just a thought. This does not seem that difficult, but certainly takes some effort and is not free.
