How many of you have created your iTunes playlists and feel like your list is never complete unless you’ve got everything you need for every song including album art? If you’re one of those types, then I’m right there with you. Nothing frustrates me more than playing music on my MP3 player and seeing no album art with a song. Perhaps I’m OCD, perhaps it’s just the huge music fan in me, but Album Art Search has been a holy land of sorts for all the album art I need.
The site offers up the album art of some of the most sought after albums, straight from the homepage, but digging deeper you’re able to find what you’re missing after a search for a specific album. The categories give you a broad based idea of what you’ll find, and by clicking on the image you can go to Amazon if you’d like to buy the physical media. You can also bookmark and save the images for your own use.
So now there’s no reason for any of your playlists to be without album art. Dig in, find what you need and let us know what you think. There are other competitors out that I think do it better, but I like the ease of finding what I need on this platform.
Don’t want your little one grabbing your iPod? I don’t blame you. Not looking forward to seeing your state of the art MP3 players dunked in water? Well neither do we. But the kids just can’t help but be interested in what you plug into your ears all the time. If you’ve got an Apple device, maybe they like the games, so it’s easy to see why they would be attracted to it.
Sweetpea has just the device for you, Baby’s First MP3 Player, a combination for durability and ruggedness perfect for little hands. The MP3 player is a safe “non-toxic” device your kids can carry around with its oversized grip ring. The simple buttons make it easy for little fingers to press buttons and listen to the music they want. No longer do you need to worry about them banging it around, dropping it, or losing it. The design is purposely oversized and created with single-piece design of hard rubber that is FDA approved.
There is a menu for parents to adjust volume, so that the player will not drive you mad when it plays the same song over and over and over and over….well you get the picture. For $50 you can give your child the power to control their music while keeping your music player a very safe distance from curious hands. It’s also a great way to get your kids involved in technology, safe for kids 0-6 yrs of age.
We can’t all be DJ’s carrying around our speakers everywhere we go. Heck most of us will never be DJ’s but it doesn’t me we care about the sound of our tunes. Carrying out portable speakers has been something no one has done simply because the types of products out there don’t create anything worth listening to. Most likely we’ll connect our mobile audio devices to a stereo using a complicated cord system, or docking station enabled device. Good speakers are hard to find.
Entering the market of mobile speakers is Kerchoonz, which admittedly does not look like a name people will be talking about in households around the world, but don’t be so quick to judge. Despite it’s funky name, the practical purpose of this device is to turn surfaces into sound, providing for you just the right sound for your music no matter where you are.
Kerchoonz uses patented gel-audio technology to turn surfaces into speakers.
Hooking up to your mp3 player, computer, laptop, mobile device, and using patented gel-audio technology, Kerchoonz is able to turn any flat surface, table, wall, or box, into a full speaker with little problems. It offers up full bass response 40-20KHz with up to 20 hours of battery life, also rechargeable via a USB connection.
While it may not look like a lot, Kerchoonz has a lot to offer in such a small package. If you’ve got other small portable speakers you’d like to recommend, leave them in the comment section below.
Having a laptop or desktop computer in the room that you’re in to play music is nice, but not always possible. The time it takes to set up your laptop or desktop and then play music can be a problem if not troublesome when worrying about battery life. Interestingly some are even happy just connecting their mp3 player to smaller speakers, but the audio comes out so awkwardly that you might as well put a pillow over the speakers because the clarity is just so muddied.
There’s no doubt that the skeptics who thought that Apple had no chance in theportable music player department hid when Apple’s iPod hit the market and took the mp3 music players by storm. Very few technological innovations make such an impact on our culture and yet Apple redefined what it is to listen, interact, and engage our music. Their style of minimalist design served them well with the generations of iPods to come down the line, but now times have changed.
The market for mp3 players has widened with lots of entrants, but few are capable of toppling the giant, so instead they offer an alternative to those not willing to give into Apple’s tight restriction to the Apple iTunes store. Nevertheless, iPods have had to redefine how they are interacted with and that’s when the iTouch came out. This unique tactile surface mp3 player gave users a unique experience that was unseen in the market for portable music players. Since then Apple has never looked back, and the iTouch has swelled in huge numbers.
From June to November alone, the market share grew 5%, which in Apple’s world is a huge market. Most of this is attributed to the apps that you can install on the mobile device and the bevy of games that Apple is turning to to keep users entertained and constantly in contact with their device.
But is there a deeper agenda then just the one present? Mac Rumors suggests that Apple is quietly turning the iTouch into the gateway device for future iPhone users. Similar to the concept of a gateway drug, it’s opening doors and increasing familiarity that users will appreciate and then look for something more substantial. That’s where the iPhone comes into play.

Dell has finally launched their new download store. Dell has partnered with French company Nexway to release the download store which offers music, games and software. The Dell download store allows all worldwide users to purchase games and software, but there currently is a restriction on music because of “publishing and licencing agreements with [Dell's] digital music partners.”
The music files will be available from major labels and will include leading artists, all without digital right managements solutions as MP3 files.
The store currently sells the Brit Awards 2009 for £9.99; both Play.com and Amazon did not have the album available for digital download.
Single tracks are available for 79 pence but the user interface lacks the intuitiveness of other available solutions like 7digital.
With the RIAA already suing teenagers for downloading pirated music, it’s time you move to the safer side and try another alternative. And yes, that ‘other’ alternative can be free and legal.
Tunerec is a web based service, that ‘records’ songs off internet radio streams and then tags them all for your convenience. Since it has to ‘record’ the streams first, it takes some time to save them in your database. But the patience is eventually rewarded. It has an iTunes like interface, where you can search for artists, songs and albums; Make playlists and also share them with friends.
Although I don’t understand why it has to ‘record’ songs for each user, and not just once for all its users, it probably doesn’t take much time as the number of songs i had last week jumped a whopping 100K this week, taking the total, as of now, to 1 Million.
It may not have all the songs you want, and likely demands patience even for those it has, the audio quality is commendable with very less buffering interuptions. As for the ‘legal’ thing you may be wondering about, the site mentions that it is completely legal and RWW also notes that Tunerec “ has worked out an agreement with the Swedish songwriters association STIM and the musicians (or at least the labels) get paid for every every song played on the service. ”
You can also invite your friends to the service and share your playlists with them.
Tunerec is currently in currently in closed beta but i was able to get into the service right away after i signed up. People living in Europe have a better option than Tunerec and that is Spotify. But sadly, Spotify is only available in Europe and will take some time untill it opens up to the U.S and rest of the world. Untill then, you have Tunerec. If you don’t like it, go buy your own CDs

Wired have decided to close Listening Post and Underwire. They are citing a great deal of overlap among Listening Post, Epicenter and Underwire so there is a wisdom to concentrating our fire where it will have the most impact.
Wired have thanks approximately 12 writers who have worked on the blog and it still hasnt been fully confirmed if they will be completely out of a job or not.
This seems to be a very strange move from Wired. It might have just been better to slowly move the Listening post material into another niche instead of just closing down the 40th most linked to blog in the world according to Technorati. I really do think it is a shame because I have been really loving the Listening Posts articles over the last year or so, and if the writers ever need somewhere to write please contact me, because we also have another blog over at RouteNote in which we are always on the look out for writers who can help musicians in the current climate.
