Recently the domestic popular song market has been growing mainly in digital sound sources. As a result of analyzing the top 100 music charts from 2012 to 2016 through digital sound sources and musical scores, the average annual BPM has fallen by 11.26 over five years. Every year, The style of music has diversified every year, and the proportion of Hip-hop has doubled from 8.5% in 2012 to 17.8% in 2015. Dance music and ballads have a high preference rate, but the relationship is inversely proportional. Singer composition was inversely proportional to the ratio of female solo to male group. Especially, the relationship between BPM and the Major/Minor key is that 81.42% for slow tempo songs is Major key and 53.85% for fast tempo songs is minor key. In the case of TV drama OST, the solo singer 's music was preferred, the music style was 80% pop and 20% ballad.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the vertical integration, which is the main characteristic of the domestic digital music market, appears in each period and how these phenomena affect the digital music market. As a result, we could find out that the domestic digital music market is a vertically integrated market centered on ISPs. There were a variety of subjects that led the digital music market from the early digital music in 2000s to the latest streaming market. However, ISP was the only subject that vertically integrated all aspects of content, distribution, and consumption through its subsidiaries and affiliated companies. A variety of combined services, supplementary services, and fare plans provided by using its platform and network have become mainstream services in the domestic digital market and have fixed the current transaction type in domestic market.

We have reviewed the potential impact of blockchain technology on the music industry by analyzing the views of academia and the industry experts. The music industry had rapid changes from the physical market to the digital market in the past decades. The consumers download and stream music online and mobile during the digital dominant market. While streaming music has been recently growing at a fast rate, fair distribution of revenue to the artists continues to be an issue. Some industry experts believe that the issue of fair distribution of revenue to the artist may be resolved using blockchain technology, while some are skeptical about the application or the duration of impact. The blockchain may enhance speedier payment using smart contracts, provide additional revenue and promote the music if excellent fan support is achieved. The positive impact on the music industry may only be possible if there are detailed consideration of the industry and careful understanding of the customers.

In this paper, we propose a smart system that can optically recognize a music score within a document and can play the music after recognition. Many historic handwritten documents have now been digitalized. Converting images of a music score within documents into digital files is particularly difficult and requires considerable resources because a music score consists of a 2D structure with both staff lines and symbols. The proposed system takes an input image using a mobile device equipped with a camera module, and the image is optimized via preprocessing. Binarization, music sheet correction, staff line recognition, vertical line detection, note recognition, and symbol recognition processing are then applied, and a music file is generated in an XML format. The Music XML file is recorded as digital information, and based on that file, we can modify the result, logically correct errors, and finally generate a MIDI file. Our system reduces misrecognition, and a wider range of music score can be recognized because we have implemented distortion correction and vertical line detection. We show that the proposed method is practical, and that is has potential for wide application through an experiment with a variety of music scores.

In this paper, we introduce a music recommendation system that automatically recommends music according to users' musical tastes. The recommendation system uses a graph-based collaborating filtering in which similarities between musics are saved as a graph, and so it can perform fast recommendation based on the implicit preference information. It also has capability of recommending music according to users' dynamically changing preferences as well as users' static preferences. The recommendation server is implemented as an independent server using Java, and communicates with clients according to a specified protocol. A demo web site has been built by using the server and music download data from actual users, and the accuracy of recommendation has been measured through experiments.

Recently, retro music is popular in the domestic music industry. Even in the movie industry, remake or retro movies are made continuously. In this paper, we consider the reason of remake in the viewpoint of mathematics and show that there is a maximum number of lyrics, pictures, music, and movies that human can make due to the characteristics of digital contents. The time that human cannot make new lyrics, new pictures, new music, and new movies any more will be estimated. Therefore, artists will have difficulties to make new contents in the future, and human have to listen and see the previous lyrics, movies, music, or pictures in the future. This study will give a deep philosophical insight for contents industry.

In this paper, we propose a new design of circulation system of digital music contents in P2P service. It has functions of contents recognition, management of copyright DB, clearing house to perform payment system of P2P service. In P2P service each user provides his music contents, but in other circulation system, service providers provide their music contents. Therefore it is very difficult for each provider to recognize whatever the quality of distributing contents are good or not. Most circulation systems use hash technology or contents recognition technology for the recognition of contents. For the usability and efficiency this proposed system provides the combining technology of hash processing and contents recognition.

As a study on the purchase intention of digital music, the research applied the Extended Model of Goal-directed Behavior(EMGB) with the perceived value and empirically evaluated the impact of variables such as attitude, subjective norms, positive and negative anticipated emotions, perceived behavioral control and desire on the purchase intention. The study was conducted using a survey data collected from valid questionnaires of 342 copies aimed at Chinese mobile music application users and employed the structure equation model. The findings indicate that attitude, negative anticipated emotions, perceived behavioral control towards digital music purchasing and the frequency of past behavior positively influenced users' desire for digital music purchasing. Another result has been confirmed that perceived value, which was an added variable, showed a significant impact on attitude. Along with the frequency of past behavior and desire, perceived value also exerted positive influence on purchase intention.

The production and authoring of digital multimedia contents are most important fields in multimedia technology. Nowadays web-based technology and related multimedia software technology are growing in the IT industry and these technologies are evolving most rapidly in our life. The technology of digital audio and video processing is utilizing rapidly to improve quality of our life, Also we are more interested in high sense and artistic feeling in the music and entertainment areas by use of three dimensional (3D) digital sound technology continuously as well as 3D digital video technology. The service field of digital audio contents is increasing rapidly through the Internet. And the society of Internet users wants the audio contents service with better quality. Recently Internet users are not satisfying the sound quality with 2 channels stereo but seeking the high quality of sound with 5,] channels such as 3D audio of the movie films. But it might be needed proper hardware equipments for the service of 3D sound to satisfy this demand. In this paper, we expand the simple 3D audio generator developed and propose a web-based music bank by the software development of 3D audio generation player in 3D sound environment with two speakers minimizing hardware equipments, Also we believe that this study would contribute greatly to digital 3D sound service of high quality for music and entertainment mania.
