Some potential ideas - pay per listen, local cache - embedded lyrics, photos - extra sound bytes (exclusive to track owners) - optional videos - asynchronous Comms with the band: FAQs. News, interviews, etc

There are many things you can do that link purchased content with other content. Adding lyrics that appear in realtime would also be handy.

My ideas are now patented. Pay me 5% of all future sales please... Isn't that how patents work? State the obvious and rake in cash for doing very little?




I'm pretty sure mp3/aac can already store lyrics in the metadata. Most of the songs on my iPod have lyrics with them that show up while playing, though they don't sync with the music, it's just the full text. And these are songs from other sources like Bandcamp or CDs, so it's not some iTunes/Apple specific feature.


Hmm, I distincly remember my iPhone 3G supporting lyrics embedded into MP3 and AAC audio files... isn't that the case anymore?


Embedded lyrics please
