  • the present invention relates generally to a multimedia album and more particularly to a format for providing such an album on a Removable Memory Device.
  • Solid-state memories have been used for years in portable MP3 players.
  • some players for example, modern multi-function cellular phones, it is possible to prepare Removable Memory Devices with different music on each device. Then, by taking out one card and inserting another, the music can be changed accordingly.
  • these solutions all use low-quality devices, such as compressed audio data in MP3 format, and other similar processes. This is because, until recently, the capacity of memories was limited.
  • Compact Disc's were a revolution in audio, not due to high sound quality (sound quality of the first CD players was poor) but rather due to their ease of operation, and their portable use compared to vinyl long playing records (LPs) or a compact cassette.
  • LPs vinyl long playing records
  • the CD standard is very well designed (it has worked since 1982). It has limitations due to size, capacity and the needs of precision mechanics/optics. Also, another limitation is that it is very easy to make pirate copies from a CD.
  • SACD Super Audio Compact Disc
  • DVD Audio DVD-A
  • Blue Ray disks were introduced that provided for higher sound quality than conventional CDs. However, these types of disks have not been highly successful commercially.
  • formats utilized for relatively low quality sound are MetaFrame Presentation Server 3 (MP3), and Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). MP3, AAC and other formats are utilized for lower sound quality while using lossy compression. Devices that utilize these formats typically need less than 10% of memory (as compared with original data). Devices that utilize these formats include portable devices such as the iPod®, car audio, home audio and software (songs, tunes).
  • a growing group of these players can read data from Flash memory cards. However, for the most part, the data is read as compressed, low quality MP3 format.
  • FLAC Free Lossless Audio Codec
  • a high quality format such as the FLAC format has several problems. For example, there is a problem with piracy due to the ease of copying of the music files. In addition, there is a complete disorder/disintegration in downloading data with different formats. There are many non-compatible formats, and thus the format needs a constant upgrading for software plug-ins.
  • a multimedia application format and method of use is disclosed. Accordingly, instead of exchanging the data associated with multimedia information from one platform (hardware), the media carrier itself is transferred from one player to another.
  • the media carrier is integrated, easy to use, and is possible to apply both to the low quality as well as the high quality audio environment.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif mémoire amovible et un procédé d'utilisation. Au lieu d'échanger les données associées à des informations multimédias d'un support multimédia à un autre, le support multimédia lui-même est transféré d'un lecteur à un autre. Le multimédia est intégré, facile à utiliser et peut être appliqué à la fois à un environnement audio de basse qualité et de haute qualité. L'invention concerne également un nouveau format de carte mémoire. Ce nouveau format comprend, mais pas exclusivement, de la musique, ainsi qu'un livret, une illustration de couverture, des informations textuelles, une vidéo et une galerie photos. Le nouveau format ne limite pas seulement le dispositif mémoire amovible/carte mémoire SD à un support multimédia, mais constitue plutôt une interface, dédiée et contrôlée, avec des contenus Internet. En même temps, on a une gamme de lecteurs pouvant être utilisés comme dispositifs personnels, portables, dans un équipement audio de véhicule, sur une chaîne Hi-Fi, ainsi que sur des systèmes hi-end.
