人民音乐商店（People's Music Store）是一个全新上线的在线DIY音乐商店。是由MP3销售网站Bleep.com的创立者Ged Day开办的。人民音乐商店对自己的定位是"第一家完全由音乐粉丝力量支撑的音乐商店"。本质上来说，网站提供的服务可以让你建立自己定制的唱片商店，从一个独立唱片厂牌列表中选择音乐（目前为止还没有主流唱片厂牌的音乐）。卖点在于，你可以挣到点数，点数来源并等同于你销售的单曲、EP、或者唱片价钱的 10%。这些点数只能用来购买人民音乐商店网站上其他卖家的音乐。 我自己也注册了家音乐商店，很快就搞定了店面彩色独特的唱片陈列。这儿还与last.fm合作，你可以自动找到、添加其他last.fm用户听过的歌。总体来说，可用的音乐资源并不庞大--但是从积极的角度来看，它督促你寻找你从未听过的新音乐。电子音乐占据了主要位置，就像Bleep.com那样。也有一些"大名鼎鼎"的艺术家活跃其中，秀出他们的独立厂牌。例如，我通过Pixies、Arctic Monkeys、Oasis和Franz Ferdinand发现了一些音乐。 现在有650多个店铺注册，在名单中存有25万首歌--大多数都是每首0.99美元，或者8.99美元一张专辑。网站声称自己与4500个厂牌"合作"，如4AD、XL、Rough Trade、Matador、Dominio和Gey Day的Warp。 我们不满绝不是因为缺乏主流厂牌音乐的支持，对我们这些不住在美国的人来说，这是另一个不重要的因素。我们不满的是国际用户登陆的时候常常出现"对不起，本网站暂不对该地区开放"的信息。但是从另一方面来说，所有的音乐下载都是无防拷贝的，速度也很快，达到320Kbps。 创立者Ged Day建立人民音乐商店是因为他觉得，没有一家公司，包括他自己的Bleep.com，可以打理各种类型的专业音乐。人民音乐

是一个与众不同的平台，在这里你可以和朋友一起寻找、分享你们喜爱的音乐，并可通过社区中"人"的作用，实现其他音乐分享网站目前所无法提供的多种音乐互动体验等等。虾米的另外一个亮点是通过用户的奖惩机制来激发用户对于音乐资源的发布与分享行为，通过专属的P2P软件上传和下载没有DRM保护的高品质MP3音乐，同时能够在上传和下载过程中赚取用于在虾米网进行虚拟消费的虾米零花钱等。 EBC81135DBDAAD6C4129DC27587D661A 虾米(Xiami):全新发布的音乐分享平台 By Web2.0 盗盗 另外，值得关注的是，虾米网对于上载文件具有较高的门槛：首先，他们只接受整张专辑（或者EP）上传，并且提供了较为完善的专辑认证机制；其次，通过P2P软件上载的MP3压缩比率必须在192K以上，同时对于格式混乱的专辑而言，甚至会被虾米平台拒绝等。对于像虾米这样新兴的互联网音乐分享平台，设置如此之高的用户门槛，其实很难简单评价好与坏以及他们之间的利弊关系。一般理论上而言，只有低门槛的平台，才能将资源进行最大程度上的整合、开放和再利用；相反的，高门槛只会在一定程度上限制了部分用户的进入；但是，对于MP3下载这个比较特殊的网络服务来说，一个有趣的话题由此展开，那就是，伴随着音视频编解码芯片的不断升级，事实上越来越多的MP3用户更希望下载到高品质的音乐。虾米网的不平衡之处，真正渴望贡献内容的高端用户被拒之门外，而只知道索取不知道分享的用户却可以轻松进入其中并获取他们所需的东西……
