Bringing classical music at the ARD to the 21st century

Camille Bondeville — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 08:28:55 +0000

20 years ago, record companies stopped giving away records to radio stations. Instead they started delivering audio, images and metadata as files via the so-called music promotion network (MPN). Major record companies then founded Phononet around 2000 to distribute music in non physical form (mostly to public and private radio stations).

In order to manage these files, ARD Sternpunkt began bringing and delivering pop music tracks and metadata centrally. ARD and DAVID Systems introduced new applications and interfaces. The goal was to enable journalists to browse, listen and download/transfer (via replication) popular music within their local production system. Thus, they had easy access to all newly released pop-music, covers and booklets from major record labels.

Over the years, more services were added to the system. For example: the exchange of concerts between EBU members, the digitalization of existing music (RAImport), Medas Music Upload (MMU) and more.

Listening to Users in Action

Camille Bondeville — Fri, 15 Jan 2021 14:31:00 +0000

To be able to improve the user experience, you need to understand the user. You should never only rely on your own intuitions or own knowledge, as you may have a biased opinion on products, features and workflows. A diversity of perspectives always brings value to a decision, especially when it comes to UX.

What’s the problem?

We – the designers and developers – at DAVID Systems are not our customers, who are editors, journalists, schedulers, moderators. That is why we can only really understand their needs, opinions and troubles when they are voiced.

Connecting People

Camille Bondeville — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 12:00:00 +0000

As the Office Creative at DAVID, a lot of my topics are in some way related to the office. My continuous projects include working to ensure that the office is running smoothly and that the team spirits are up, plus working as a change agent.

So what does an Office Creative do when the world goes into lockdown and we are largely restricted to working from home office?
