new article on platform interface analysis
Dear colleagues, here's a link to an open access article, just published in International Journal of Communication, on critical analysis of platform interfaces, using music streaming platforms as a case study. Details and an abstract are below; I hope it's of interest to some of you. Kind regards, Dave Hesmondhalgh, University of Leeds https://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/article/view/21989 Critically Analyzing Platform Interfaces: How Music-Streaming Platforms Frame Musical Experience David Hesmondhalgh, Raquel Campos Valverde, D. Bondy Valdovinos Kaye, Zhongwei Li This article identifies and contributes to a small but growing body of research that critically analyzes the user interfaces of digital platforms and apps. By examining how the interfaces of music-streaming platforms (MSPs) frame musical experience, we test claims that such platforms encourage "functional" and "mood-based" uses of music linked to problematic forms of power and subjectivity. While such framings are indeed evident in MSP interfaces, so too are other, rather different constructions of engagement with music. We argue that one significant power of MSPs is to incorporate diverse forms of musical experience into pervasive hybrids. Our approach advances interface analysis and research on the platformization of culture by illustrating the benefits of critical platform interface analysis through intra-domain platform interface analysis, and by offering general and music-specific taxonomies of digital platform interfaces.
A lot of students are looking for recommendations for privacy aware transcription software that won't break the bank, or online services that are known not to harvest or share data. What are your recommendations?
Hi! I'm using a software called "aTrain", it's basically a GUI implementing OpenAI's "whisper" model. The app downloads the model, runs on your local machine without having to upload or share your data and doesn’t require programming skills. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4594103 https://github.com/BANDAS-Center/aTrain Best, Tom -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Air-L <air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org> Im Auftrag von Robert Rattle via Air-L Gesendet: Dienstag, 16.

I'm using something that I imagine is similar, MacWhisper ( https://goodsnooze.gumroad.com/l/macwhisper). It looks like they've just raised the price of a single pro license by €10, but still affordable and they also do academic discounts. There is also a free version available that doesn't have access to the bigger language models. It's very good for English, but my project involves Spanish as well and it's much touchier there. I'm running it on a baseline 2023 Mac Mini and it typically does an hour of audio in about 15 minutes.
