AI Program Can Introduce New Artists While You Listen To The Radio
I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this idea, but music promoter Eric Alper brings word of a new A.I. program called "Discovr Radio" which analyses an audio stream off an existing AM or FM station and can seamlessly substitute a new artist's work while overriding a station's chatter or advertising. And it works in a way that you shouldn't even be able to notice.
"Discovr Radio uses the technology to identify suitable places within live radio programming where tracks from emerging artists can be introduced. The company aims to give independent musicians access to audiences already listening to established AM/FM stations, offering a new approach to music discovery and promotion...
The company’s pitch to artists is straightforward: introduce their recordings to radio audiences through a system that can identify opportunities for insertion within existing programming. For listeners, the potential benefit is a more personalized radio experience with fewer interruptions and additional opportunities to discover music."
Auddia’s New AI Patent Could Change How Fans Discover Music On AM/FM Radio
I'm not entirely sure I want an app to be able to change what I hear on my favourite station without my knowing, even if it does mean fewer Spence spots. Is this something that would interest you?

Re: AI Program Can Introduce New Artists While You Listen To The Radio
And just as an aside, what is it with radio station apps leaving out the letter "e" in their name?
Rogers has the Seekr app, spelled without the last vowel. And now Discovr Music has joined the parade. Is there some reason why this seems to be a trend? To me, it just makes the product harder to recall, because it's not spelled correctly.
Maybe from now on, we should call them "Rogrs."

I suppose it also bothers you that for many many years now, fast food places have a "Drive Thru" not a Drive through?
Spelling the name of a business wrong is deliberate to draw attention.
However, the idea does not work with
"Rogrs" because everyone will believe it's spam and not the real Rogers.
(at least in the short run, until they make it official or something...)

Well, my real objection - besides the fact the Internet has detracted from some younger people knowing how to spell - is that it requires the announcers on 680, as an example, to constantly spell the name. It's not a lot of air time but it's extra verbiage when it wouldn't be needed at all if it was spelled properly.
Now every time they refer to it, they have to take the time out to note the newly created word. It's a waste of precious time every hour.
And of course, I was only kidding about the Rogers change. But if you're going to leave out the "e," what about them?

Believe it or not, there's already a Rogers with a Z "Rogerz" which is indeed a scamming source.
They might send email with the correct spelling, but they hope nobody notices that there is a "Z" in the fake web page, or in other places that be.
This is why Rogrs won't work. It will easily be treated like spam/scam.
You either have the real Rogers or you don't.
Now, if it's not too late, "Seeker" could perhaps start scamming the unaware... 
A good business has a name that sticks.

About the spelling, I've always listened to a screan reader or had to use braille to try to peese the words together, which can be more dificult.
But, I would never remove the er in words, For seeker, I used to before rogers launched there app, I used to think seeker was seaker.
Same with the mixup of sea and the see.

I don’t think this is for me but I don’t think I’m their market. This seems like something that would appeal to younger listeners who might be less patient, which apparently they are, I just have to look at my son and his friends, they flip through music on their phones often only listening to part of the songs.
Also, songs in this app would probably end up being cut short, especially if they play over chatter, as how can it tell how long of a song to play that would fit over the chatter? Commercial breaks possibly though, they’re usually a set length.
Like I said, not for me, but remember, I shout at clouds!
