This week in lecture we talked about Bits & Bytes and Storage. The difference between WAV's to MP3's was discussed and this related to my entrepreneurial idea because mine deals with music. If any files were shared on my software as a WAV file they could be compressed into an MP3 so they are more easily transferable. Storage was also discussed which has a huge impact on my company. Not only do users need to store a certain amount of songs and videos but the company on the other side has to have powerful enough hard drive's and servers to maintain all the traffic on the site and how many profiles need to be saved for all the users.
When people purchase my software, I will make available to them various packages they can buy. There can be the basic version that offers limited services but all the basics you need to have fun and learn more about the music and artists you like. Then there can be a Plus version that can offer better and faster support by professionals and possibly access to more blogs, and memory to store more songs. It would also be stated on the package that the user should have a certain hard drive/amount of RAM on their computer considering the Plus version may need more speed. Just like iTunes, users could burn songs to a disk and name the disk. The playlists would save so you can have a record of what CD's you made.
Depending on how many users sign up, there may be need for a server room at the office. These servers will store all information and usage that customers are enacting through the software. Another form of storage I would have would be sound recognition. Similar to Soundhound or Shazam for various Smartphones, I would be able to make the user play a song and try and have the software recognize it or they can send it to a user. Then when you find the answer there can be a playlist or area where these songs are stored.
