Everything’s running right on schedule.

TUNEDLY WEEKLY TOP PICKS

Hello, Tunedly fans. This is the Weekly Top Picks newsletter by Tunedly, your favourite online recording studio, masked music discovery, and effective publishing platform.

When it comes to music, the significance of mechanical royalties cannot be understated. This financial reward enables songwriters and composers to reap the benefits of their creative work. But the impact of music goes far beyond financial considerations. For many people, songs can be essential to their mental and physical health, providing a sense of relief, motivation, or joy. New technologies like blockchain and online learning are helping to further democratize music, making it more accessible and interactive than ever before.

By the way, if you’re wondering how things are going, you’ll be happy to hear that everything’s running right on schedule. We present a newsletter today lengthier than usual, as a little surprise. Significant improvements were made to the website in order to provide a better experience for our clients. We’re excited about the new direction Tunedly is taking, and we look forward to continuing to evolve and improve it over time.

Before we start, a quote:

“A creative life is an amplified life. It’s a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life” – Elizabeth Gilbert

WHAT’S TRENDING

These royalties are generated whenever a song is duplicated, physically or digitally, through rental, purchase, or streaming services. It’s crucial to the financial stability of musicians who create their own music and write their own tunes. If you’re a successful songwriter, you know that mechanical royalties constitute a significant source of income.

This phrase can also be used to describe the royalty payments made by a record label to a music publisher for the use of the label’s copyrighted recordings. Songwriters and other owners of copyrighted musical works are entitled to mechanical royalties for their works’ performance and distribution. Essentially, they are a form of payment to songwriters for the use of their songs.

Music changes lives. Music listening and making are motivated by many things. Music enhances health, especially emotional well-being. Research has shown that Alzheimer’s and other dementias can benefit from music. Music therapy relaxes agitated persons and can help dementia patients bond with carers.

Studies demonstrate that listening to music helps speed up the recovery of blood pressure and heart rate after physical work. Music therapy may alleviate anxiety and suffering in heart attack and cardiac surgery survivors. Even music therapy is most effective when patients have a say in selecting their listening material.

Here are some songs that depict good health worldwide.

Blockchain technology has been making headlines in recent years, and for good reason. It has the potential to revolutionize the way we store and exchange information and value, with a range of potential applications in industries from finance to healthcare to manufacturing.

At its core, blockchain is a decentralized, digital ledger that records transactions in a way that is nearly impossible to tamper with. Transactions are bundled into blocks, which are linked together in a chain (hence the name) and secured using cryptography. This makes blockchain an inherently secure and transparent system.

One of the most well-known applications of blockchain technology is Bitcoin, the digital currency that first emerged in 2009. Blockchain is the backbone of Bitcoin, recording all transactions in a public ledger that allows for secure peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks.

The potential implications of this technology are vast. For starters, blockchain could revolutionize the way we do business. By removing the need for intermediaries, blockchain could eliminate the inefficiencies and high fees associated with traditional methods of transferring value, like wire transfers and credit card payments. Blockchain could also allow for greater transparency and trust in transactions since all participants have access to the same information.

Blockchain also has the potential to fundamentally change the way we store and protect data. With blockchain, data can be stored in a decentralized manner that makes it virtually impossible for any one entity to hack or tamper with it. This makes blockchain an ideal platform for storing sensitive information, like medical records or financial data.

Beyond these immediate applications, the potential for blockchain is limited only by our imaginations. As we continue to experiment with and understand this technology, it could impact every aspect of our lives— from the way we vote, to the way we manage our identities, to the way we interact with one another on social media.

While blockchain is still in its early days, it is clear that this technology has the potential to be a game-changer. Whether it lives up to its promise remains to be seen, but it is certainly worth keeping an eye on.

There’s no denying that education is one of the most important keys to a successful future. Unfortunately, many people around the world still don’t have access to quality schooling. In some cases, it’s due to living in rural or isolated areas; in others, it’s due to the lack of resources in their community. Whatever the reason, the lack of access to education is a real and pressing problem.

One potential solution to this problem is online learning. With internet access becoming more widespread around the world, there’s an opportunity to leverage this technology to help people gain the education they need, regardless of their location or circumstances. Could online learning be the key to bridging the global education gap? It’s certainly worth exploring.

While education is often seen as the key to a better future, not everyone around the world has equal access to learning opportunities. For some, lack of resources or geographical barriers may prevent them from receiving a quality education. But could online learning, bolstered by the growth of blockchain and crypto technologies, be the key to bridging the global education gap?

Online learning has a number of advantages that could make it an effective solution to improving access to education around the world. For one, it allows students in remote areas or conflict zones to access educational materials and instruction from anywhere in the world. This means that even if they can’t attend school in person, they can still stay on track with their studies.

Additionally, online learning can provide more personalized instruction than traditional classroom settings. By utilizing adaptive learning technology, online courses can adjust to each student’s needs and skill level. This can help students learn at their own pace and receive tailored support when they need it. Blockchain and crypto technologies can further enable these personalized learning experiences by securely storing student data and allowing for micropayments to incentivize participation.

Lastly, online learning can provide access to high-quality resources and instruction at a fraction of the cost of traditional schooling. This can be particularly beneficial for students in developing countries, where resources are often scarce. By enrolling in online courses, students can benefit from the expertise of global educators without incurring the high costs associated with traveling to study abroad. With the growing popularity of music and audio streaming services, online learning can also tap into the power of music to enhance learning experiences.

While online learning certainly has its challenges, such as the need for reliable internet access and digital literacy skills, it has the potential to provide a high-quality, accessible, and affordable education to students around the world. As technology continues to evolve, online learning, powered by blockchain and crypto technologies, could play an even more important role in bridging the global education gap.
