A leading technology company is set to launch a new digital music file format which will embed additional content for fans including lyrics, news updates and images in what could be a successor to the ubiquitous MP3 file.
一家頂尖科技公司計畫推出一種新數位音樂檔案格式，可為樂迷嵌入歌詞、最新資訊及影像等附加內容。該格式或將替代目前非常普遍的MP3檔案。
The new proposal, which is called MusicDNA and has the backing of the original MP3 digital music file inventor, would allow fans to download an MP3 file on to their computer, which would carry with it additional content.
新格式稱為「MusicDNA」，並得到了原MP3數位音樂檔案發明者的支持。這一格式允許樂迷將MP3音樂檔案下載到電腦上，且同時附帶額外內容。
Music labels, bands or retailers could then also send updates to the music file every time they have something new to announce such as the dates of future tours, new interviews or updates to social network pages.
音樂公司、樂團或零售商屆時只要有新內容要公布，例如未來巡演計畫、新專訪或更新社交網頁時，都可傳送更新內容到音樂檔案中。
The user would receive as little or as much of the information as they want, every time they are online. However anyone who downloads the music file illegally would receive only a static file which would not receive any updates.
用戶每次上線時，可根據個人意願來決定接受多少資訊。然而，任何非法下載音樂檔案的用戶只會收到一個靜態檔案，不能接收任何內容更新。
BACH Technology, the group behind the MusicDNA file, says it is looking to partner with retailers, music labels, rights holders and technology companies and is happy to provide its technology for others who could use it under their own brand.
開發MusicDNA音樂檔案的（挪威）巴哈科技集團稱，希望與零售商、唱片公司、版權所有人與科技公司等建立合作關係，且樂意將技術提供給其他人，這些人可用其自有品牌來使用這個技術。
