B2B portal on music, instruments and media

Music means a lot to people – both, to musicians and listeners. It is often related to emotions and passion. Music is played by laypersons and professional artists and can be bought on CDs or as music videos on DVD discs. Although music is seen as art, the business with music is becoming more and more important, bigger and international. Revenues and turnovers of traditional music companies and big music and new media conglomerates are ever increasing. Besides, the instruments industry is creating lots of innovations for music players. Amplifiers and speakers, other technology equipment such as a microphone, headsets, players and recorders are needed to provide the audience with a professional sound. Also the computer technology with elaborated software products and hardware equipment has entered the music business. Lets take keyboard instruments as an example. Besides the traditional piano, there is today an extensive range of electronic keyboard versions. By pressing a button, there is no sound, but the pressed keys are transformed by software into sounds and are automatically translated in sheets of music.

Sound storage media have changed size and shape. Records have been replaced by cassettes and discs such as CDs and DVDs. CD standards and DVD standards facilitate the compatibility of the music and video media. The CD format and DVD format have in the meantime conquered the music, music videos and film industry as well as the home entertainment systems of end users. More and more analogue data merge into digital files which can be consumed on mobile and very small devices such as MP3 players.
