Someone has finally produced a great app that lets you move your library from iTunes over to Spotify. The app is call Unify and its built on Adobe Air so it can be used on both Mac and PC. Once installed it only takes a matter of seconds before you have selected the playlist you’re wanting to import into Spotify and Unify does all the heavy lifting.
You can either transfer a specific album or track or just drag and drop everything in your library. You’ll notice a nice little orange album icon. This area displays all the albums your iTunes Library. Just drag them over to Spotify the same as you do with tracks.
Now, don’t expect to find every track in your iTunes library on Spotify. Spotify is very good and you’d be hard pressed to not find a song, but clearly it doesn’t have everything.
Free for 5 tracks from each playlists, but for an unlimited number of tracks, you’ll set yourself back only £1.99 (approx $3 US), peanuts really for the availability of your favorite music everywhere.
Grab the app here.

AT&T has today announced their new green charger. This device powers most low-power USB devices, including the iPhone, and is purportedly the world’s first charger to avoid power draw. When a device is full, the ZERO automatically stops charging and therefore avoids a trickle of energy when a device is left plugged in. The interchangeable “block” design also reduces the obsolescence of the charger once owners replace their devices.
The packaging itself helps and is made entirely of recycled paper.
No pricing has been given, but AT&T expects the ZERO Charger to cost as much as a regular power adapter. It will ship sometime in May.
This odd-looking car is an interesting concept from industrial designer Jung-Hoon Kim and was an entry in the 2010 Michelin Challenge Design competition. Unlike other electric cars that rely on special charging stations or an extension cord plugged into an outlet at home, the P-Eco relies on four piezoelectric devices to charge the car’s battery as it moves.
Packard Bell has rolled out the Studio ST HD media player/storage drive in Europe. Available in 500GB – 2TB capacities, the device supports playback of music, video and photos, including Dolby Digital decoding and offers HDMI video output as well as component output. There is also a USB port for sharing and playing files on USB external storage devices. [Press Release]
Sony has just released their new MDR-RF4000K digital cordless headphones. They have a unique storage and charging dock that cuts unsightly wires.
These headphones feature a powerful 40mm long-stroke diaphragm to produce a crystal clear sound quality. These wireless headphones come with a NiMH battery that provides up to 7 hours of listening time. Additionally, you can also slip in a single AAA Alkaline battery which will increase the usage time up to ten hours. The Sony MDR-RF4000K headphones will go on sale in April 2010. No info on pricing so far. [Press Release]
Why cant Sony just name their headphone with something a little easier to remember than the MDR-RF4000K model?
