Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

Mashboxx Service Uses Creative Technique to Sell Digital Music DownloadsNow that the latest Tempo podcast is in the can, I can turn to other things. Here's something fun: today's L.A. Times includes a story about former Grokster president Wayne Rosso and his new service Mashboxx. [Subscription may be required to read article online.] Mashboxx, which just began offering beta testing of its service, is a peer-to-peer file sharing network much like Kazaa and Grokster but which differentiates itself by utilizing a creative method of providing legal music downloads: A key piece of technology is coming from Snocap Inc., a San Francisco-based company led by Shawn Fanning and Ali Aydar, two veterans of the pioneering Napster file-sharing service. When a Mashboxx user tries to download a hit song from someone on one of the major filesharing networks, Snocap's song-recognition software will intervene and deliver an authorized, copy-protected version.So far EMI Group Plc, Universal Music Group, and Sony BMG Bertelsmann have signed deals with Snocap to keep track of their music. It'll be interesting to see how this service fares, so keep an eye on it. If you test it out, let me know what you think of it!
