Adding to raft of new sites that aim to ?uncover new musical talent? or ?find the next big name DJ?, the Sony supported Toryumon.co.uk is refreshingly different.The site provides a showcase for unsigned artists, whose tunes are voted for and reviewed by users in a battleground, together with news, reviews and practical help. The site also introduces a new Sony developed music player software that rivals MP3 which uses the same compression technology as MiniDisc. We were told we couldn?t tell you what this technology was, but we couldn?t resist ? This new highly anticipated technology was announced during a deal the sonic superstar supplier signed this week with RealNetworks to focus on the secure distribution of music. RealNetwork?s RealJukebox will be enabled with Sony’s electronic music distribution technologies and will support transfers to Sony’s portable audio players. This includes the “OpenMG” copyright protection technology, the Sony Memory Stick, portable players like the “Memory Stick Walkman” & “VAIO Music Clip” and ? wait for it ? last but by new means least their new ATRAC3 sound compression format. Ahhh, there it is, another tip-top bit of tech that is [hopefully]going to blow everyone else away.So, now you know that tech, we?ll get back to the story ? the name Toryumon originates from a Japanese proverb, describing a fish swimming against the current, in the same way that the site identifies unique talent. The advertising reflects this with headlines such as ‘pure and unfiltered’, ‘mess with the mainstream’ and ‘go against the flow.‘Endorsed by the hardy Howie B, the concept of the site seems to have got the right ingredients to make a ?bit of difference? in the over-crowded MP3 bandwagon barons market, so look out for some interesting stuff coming from the it in the next while ? because we are.
