I might create an MP3 or streaming music and audio library using a digital library system for entertainment, broadcasting or education. This will include audio books for libraries.
In July 2011, I explored setting up a wifi/ustream video/podcast recording venture with an ethnic church in Sydney CBD. This never happened probaby due to lack of money.
In January 2010, I explored configuring a Linux server to run Rivendell when attempting to replace obsolete OS/2 system at Rhema FM in Orange NSW. They opted for a Windows system and reentering all the tracks manually instead of automating the transfer using scripts which I could have done easily. As they only had volunteers and very low budget, the community group did things manually to save money making my ideas impossible to implement.
There always seems to be a war between operations and management. Operations wants to cut corners and save money and management just wants to get a job done despite the cost. I favour management. Operations is a means to an end, not an end in itself. Hence I left the operations idiots in Rhema and created my own server and music repository and stopped arguing with people with no imagination. The fear of the unknown and not wanting to give new untried methods a go is such as waste of opportunity. I invest in my own equipment and training so I don't get left behind by such Luddites. I then reap the rewards of investing in new technology and opening up horizons in media broadcasting over the Internet with pretty much limitless possibilities to help the world's peoples no matter where they are or what language and culture they have.
In 1992, I catalogued music CDs in Bowen Library, Maroubra NSW just after I finished my Graduate Diploma Information Management-Librarianship at UNSW. It was a very satisfying job. I got to enjoy snippets of the CDs and saw a music collection being setup properly so people could browse and borrow classical and jazz music.
In 1992, I setup a Mac Filemaker Pro database of sheet music holdings for Orchestras Australia next door to the Australian Music Centre, The Rocks, Sydney.
In 1991, I catalogued music manuscripts of Australian composers at the Australian Music Centre, The Rocks, Sydney, NSW as part of my librarianship diploma at UNSW.
In about 1996, as President of Waverley Randwick Philharmonic Society Inc, I licensed usage of sheet music with APRA/AMCOS.
