ListenLog is a way for individuals to log their own listening activity -- to online streams, to podcasts, to other audio sources. It logs in a standard and open format, capturing an individual's listening actions from multiple applications. ListenLog is unique in that its aim is to give the user the ability to accumulate and control the use of his or her own listening data. In other words, the data is the user's. It does not belong to any vendor or intermediary. Not is it meant to provide marketing fodder to any seller.
With ListenLog the idea is that the user alone has control over where his or her data lives, what applications write to it, what gets logged, who to share it with, and how it can be used.
The ListenLog concept was developed by ProjectVRM, of the Berkman Center. An early version is currently being prototyped for the Public Radio Player. In the long run, however, it should log any listening activity on any device.
The code developed for ListenLog should also apply to other forms of media logging.
