Billboard Magazine Digital Music Conference on USB Wristband

We just returned from the Billboard Magazine Digital Music Live! Conference at CES.
Aderra recorded each session and burned it to USB wristbands which were distributed to all attendees and speakers. The live music USB wristbands included a User Dashboard that played the recordings, displayed a photo gallery of each session and included links to Billboard's online content.
Highlights of the day were a surprisingly sharp Q&A with Soulja Boy, Akon's description of how he writes songs specifically to be ringtones, and Douglas Merrill's digital vision for EMI. The most interesting point reiterated throughout the conference on every panel and in every keynote was that the future of music includes multichannel methods for fan outreach including live music digital recording to USB drives.

All Sides also landed at #3 on Billboard’s Digital Album Chart as well as in the Top 10 in more than 20 major markets throughout the country, including New York, Washington D.C., Boston, and Chicago. All Sides is O.A.R.’s first new studio album since 2005’s popular breakthrough, Stories of a Stranger, which included the band’s hit singles “Love and Memories” and “Heard the World.” All Sides features the first single, “Shattered (Turn The Car Around),” which quickly became the most-added song at Hot AC and Triple A radio, while its companion video has jumped into Medium Rotation at VH1.

“We have so many people to thank for the debut of All Sides, most of all our fans for their unwavering support of our music through the years,” said O.A.R. “They make us feel as though we’re on top of the world.”

In other exciting news for the band, O.A.R. is announcing their partnership with Aderra (http://www.aderra.net/) to provide concert-goers of the band's “All Sides Summer Tour” with the chance to bring home a live recording of the show from that evening along with a copy of the band's new album, All Sides.
