Presenting Structured, RSS-Fed New Media Streams Within A Portable Media Player: A Category Or Source Organizational Decision

Travis Joseph Bryant 11 April 2006 (has links)
The RSS protocol allows, among other uses, for portable media player devices to download files automatically from the internet. Although text RSS feed on portable media devices is currently limited, it is possible that text feeds will become a ubiquitous feature on future PDA/media crossover devices. With the increasing usage of video-enabled portable media players, video content on these devices will also gain strength in the consumer market. Through qualitative interviews this pilot study hopes to investigate usage of new media streams on portable devices, with additional focus on RSS feeds, content categorization and interface category customization. Do users prefer to display their content and RSS feeds by a descriptive category, or by the website from which the feed was retrieved? In this study we hope to gain insight into which style users prefer, if any.

As transformações da escuta a partir da utilização das mídias portáteis / Changings of the listening process by the use of portable media

Santos, Otavio Luis Silva 08 August 2014 (has links)
Com o passar dos anos, o hábito da escuta musical passou por diversas transformações, comumente relacionadas a tendências sociais e inovações tecnológicas. No início do século XX, a relação homem-máquina-escuta se elevou a um novo patamar. No início do século XXI, o predomínio das mídias portáteis (aqui delimitadas a iPods, tablets e smartphones) promove novas transformações na prática da escuta musical, gerando consequências musicais e sociais consideráveis. Partindo do Walkman, um dos maiores ícones da portabilidade do século passado, esse trabalho analisa a sucessão das principais mídias e formatos - com seus respectivos impactos culturais - até alcançar a década de 2010, dominada pelo formato MP3 e já fundada em uma peculiar prática de escuta musical. Através de extensa pesquisa bibliográfica e audiovisual, este trabalho se dispõe a refletir sobre as principais transformações músico-sociais originadas a partir da utilização massiva das mídias portáteis (como meio predominante de prática da escuta musical urbana), tornando mais visível a relevância de estudos aprofundados na área / Throughout the years, musical listening habits have suffered many changings, usually related to social tendencies and technological improvements. In the beginning of the 20th century, the man - machine- listening relation achieved a new level. During the first decades of the 21th century, the ubiquity of portable media (defined in this work as iPods, tablets and smartphones) promotes new alterations in the listening habits, therefore social and musical impacts. Beginning from the Walkman, one of last century\'s most acclaimed icons of portability, this work analyses the sequence of the following main devices and formats - each one with its particular cultural impacts - until reaching the 2010s, a decade dominated by MP3 and based on a unique musical listening experience. This work intends to reflect, through extensive research and bibliographical discussion, the main musical and social reorganization originated by the massive use of these devices as the urban leading musical listening vehicle, increasing the visibility and the relevance of more detailed researches in this area.
