I remember when I went to a record store to buy music or when we read a music magazine we always looked at the awards awarded both musically and sonically.
On the CDs there were even stickers, which remind us, after we forget, that this or that album received one or more recommendations.
Today with streaming, we lose this kind of information. Would it not be possible to display these medals. For example in France there is Diapason d’or, Choc, Disque de l’année, etc…
It seems to me that a partnership for the use, the display of logos and medals would be beneficial for Roon users of dematerialization but also press music and phonograph houses.
Aillle! reading you I perceive at this very moment the difficulty.
Qobuz, which resells the music of major labels or other producers, lists the rewards on the albums, but Qobuz sells the album. It’s an added value that he makes, it’s his job in a way, to promote sales, and there is someone behind Qobuz who enters their distributor’s data to make it visible on our screens.
The idea would be to associate the album’s unique product code with possible rewards. Roon by identifying the product code would signal the presence of rewards with the display of different logos/medals.
If this is possible, I want to believe in it, it adds ‘palpable’ as before the air of dematerialization, adds user experience of an additional high level.
So if anyone wants to set up a company to create a database with the majors and the specialized press.
