as an avid Squeezebox-user, I’ve no idea how I could have missed this gem for so long: iPeng lets you use our iPhone to control your Squeezbox (or boxes, if you’ve several spread across the house). hands down the best way to browse a large local music-library or subscription-services napster & rhapsody [which of course [...]
if you’re into electronic/dance/club-music you’ll agree that the experience of listening to dj-mixes online is far from perfect: music is consumed in large chunks of several hundred mbytes, often without tracklists or other metadata, certainly without cue-points (and therefor no ability to skip tracks). enter Mugasha. all mixes offered at Mugasha include detailed cue-lists & tracklists, [...]

instead of the much anticipated video-upgrade, we just have received a very cool Last.fm flash-widget, which is embedding personalized radio-streams (“recently played”…), playlists & charts to any given website. check the sidebar of this page, press the “play”-button & start grooving (click here if you’re reading this post in your RSS-reader!) …stunning!

SpotDJ is an innovative service aimed at people who are feeling bored by listening to a monotonous stream of playlisted audio-tracks and instead wish to get background-infos on currently played artist & track or just some moody rant – like radio-DJs did back in the day
using the locally installed SpotDJ application, listeners become [...]
yesterday, Sean Adams – CEO and founder of SlimDevices – announced the aquisition of his company by Logitech (see the SlimDevices forums or the official pressrelease). according to both companies’ statements, development of the Squeezebox- & Transporter network audio-clients will stay independently at SlimDevices, while Logitech will help distributing the devices – which already enjoy [...]
as anticipated by many customers, Apple quickly released a follow-up to the bemoaned 7.0 release of iTunes. iTunes 7.0.1 (both windows and mac osx) “addresses stability and performance issues with Cover Flow, CD importing, iPod syncing, and more”. however, feedback on the update indicates that some problems still persist, so I was glad to find [...]
sometime last night, the Songbird-developers hatched released version 0.2 Test Flight, therefor lifting the Mozilla-based opensource audio-player officialy into Beta. Songbird comes with a built-in Wikipedia-plugin, a cool example of what the integration of browser & player can do: browsing artist-pages in Wikipedia, Songbird automatically offers all linked audio-tracks/samples for playback. the new Audioscrobbler-extension connects [...]
experimenting with Splice for the first time is quite an experience: using a flash-based online-sequencer, users arrange audio-loops and soundbites very similar to desktop apps like Reason or Fruity Loops. editing-functionality is reduced to the basics: clips are looped and automatically beat-matched on up to eight tracks which can only be adjusted in volume and [...]
with recently released version 2.0 software-update, Sonos integrates support for Rhapsody’s music-subscription service with their network audio-player. while competitor Slim Devices supports playback of Rhapsody on their Squeezebox-players only when looped through a Windows XP PC running Rhapsody software, Sonos goes a big step further by enabling stand-alone access to the library. Rhapsody offers 2millions [...]
