Selling digital music, formatting culture
\"Selling Digital Music documents the transition of recorded music on CDs to music as digital files on computers. More than two decades after the first digital music files began circulating in online archives and playing through new software media players, we have yet to fully internalize the cultural and aesthetic consequences of these shifts. Exploring the emergence of what Morris calls the digital music commodity, Selling Digital Music considers how a conflicted assemblage of technologies, users, and industries helped reformat popular music's meanings and uses. Through case studies of five key technologies--Winamp, metadata, Napster, iTunes, and cloud computing--Morris questions how music listeners gradually came to understand computers and digital files as suitable replacements for their stereos and CDs. The digitization of the music commodity connects industrial production, popular culture, technology, and commerce in a narrative involving the aesthetics of music and computers, and the labor of producers and everyday users, as well as the value that listeners make and take from digital objects and cultural goods. Above all, Selling Digital Music is a sounding out of music's encounters with the interfaces, metadata, and algorithms of digital culture.\"--Provided by publisher.

ECOGEN : Bird sounds generation using deep learning
Large‐scale acoustic projects generate vast amounts of data that can now be efficiently processed using deep learning tools. However, these tools often face limitations due to sound labeling and imbalanced sampling. Data augmentation can help overcome such challenges, particularly through the generation of synthetic and lifelike sounds. Synthetic samples can be valuable not only for deep learning but also for species with limited available data. Despite advancements in computer power, sound generation remains a time‐consuming process, even requiring a substantial number of samples. We present ECOGEN, a novel deep learning approach designed to generate realistic bird songs for biologists and ecologists. The primary objective of ECOGEN is to enhance the number of samples in under‐represented bird song classes, thereby improving the performance and robustness of classifiers in ecological research.The ECOGEN framework employs spectrograms as a representation of bird songs and leverages proven image generation techniques to create new spectrograms, subsequently converted back to digital audio signals. As a class‐agnostic tool, ECOGEN is applicable to a wide range of biophonic sounds, including mammal and insect calls. We show that adding samples generated by ECOGEN to a bird song classifier improved the classification accuracy by 12% on average and improved results compared with classic data augmentation techniques 80% of the time. Our approach is both fast and efficient, enabling the generation of synthetic bird songs on standard computing resources. By facilitating the creation of synthetic bird songs, ECOGEN can contribute to the conservation of endangered bird species, while providing valuable insights into their vocalizations, behaviours and habitat preferences. Future development of ECOGEN can be easily implemented and could focus on incorporating additional configurable parameters during the generation phase for increased control over the output, catering to the specific needs of biologists.
