HomePipe streams your iTunes to Android, other files too
Posted on June 3, 2010 | No Comments
Need another way to get your tunes (whether they be i-prefixed or not) onto your Android celly? HomePipe is the latest, a service offering easy access to files on your home computer via your cellphone. It's been available for Apple devices for some time now, but a recently added Android app extends the reach of its plumbing system. That mobile app works in conjunction with a desktop version acting as a server, pushing photos, documents, and lots of types of media -- including iTunes. HomePipe claims this makes it the "first to ever stream home iTunes music to Google's Android," but having played with Michael Robertson's MP3tunes service, which uploads your music library to the cloud and allows access from Android handsets, we're happy to assure the service that it is at least the second. Still, it sounds mighty handy, and for the bargain price of free it's definitely worth a shot. Video demo and full press release is just below.Continue reading HomePipe streams your iTunes to Android, other files too

Sirius XM radio coming to Android “soon”
Posted on April 26, 2010 | No CommentsHey, Android handset owners! Tired of your iPhone-toting friends bragging about how they can tune into SiriusXM radio on the go, while you can’t? Me too.

iTunes 9.1 is live, iPad syncing, modded Genius Mixes added
Posted on March 30, 2010 | No Comments
Tunes 9.1 just went live. I'm digging through to see what's new in this version, but iTunes just updated to 9.1. It seems you actually have to go to the Apple.com/itunes site to download it because my System Update and the Update Software command in iTunes didn't catch it.

Of course there’s a leather couch with an iPod dock
Posted on March 19, 2010 | No CommentsiPod docks are in everything these days, but this leather sectional from Natuzzi actually makes a bit of sense. Think about it. You and yours are chillaxing on the couch after a hard day working for the man. You want nothing more than some relaxing tunes from the Manilow, but the music is stuck on [...] -
I got my first real six-string/ Bought it to play Guitar Hero
Posted on March 9, 2010 | No Comments
The original complaint about music games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band is that they convinced kids that playing the guitar was actually easy. A few taps, a few strums and you sounded like Jack White or Ozzy, right? Well Powergig wants to change that perception by offering a real six-string guitar that you can really play and, with the flip of a switch, you can dampen the strings and strum along to your favorite tunes on the XBox 360 or PS3.
The company, Seven45, is also making a guitar game with its own downloadable content that will be something like Brutal Legend, and the guitars are made by their parent company, First Act makers of "entry level" AKA toy guitars and instruments. Nice synergy, eh?

Throw away those Baby Einstein DVDs
Posted on March 2, 2010 | No Comments
Bam. If you've ever had to sit through a modern educational kids movie, you've realized they're garbage. Junk like Diego and Baby Einstein are useless educationally and, in comparison to Looney Tunes and the like, absolute pablum. Now parents won't feel guilty because little Mason and Kirsten aren't learning how to say "monito" through video watching. It is written that 12- to 24-month olds get no language-learning benefits from garbage educational videos.

PolyTune: The Violent Femmes tune all their guitar strings at once on the bus
Posted on January 15, 2010 | No Comments
You know how when you play someone's guitar for the first time at a party and one string is way high or low and you start to tune it and find that the guitar is total garbage and can't be tuned anyway and so you play "Closer to Fine" on an untuned guitar in the corner of the part and people are all like "Who's the douche playing Indigo Girls in 2010? I think his guitar is out of tune." Has that ever happened to you? Definitely, right?
Well Polytune tunes all your strings at once. You strum and it tells you which strings are out of tune. You fix those strings, strum again, and then people will never make fun of you again.

Hey, disco party people, how about some Windows 7 commercials?
Posted on September 25, 2009 | No CommentsIt’s not a Windows 7 Party without some tunes, right? Thankfully Microsoft has created a set of commercials with catchy beats, nice visuals, and no stilted, low-paid actors apparently preparing to get it on in the worst Cinemax late night movie ever. Enduserblog has all of the videos for your perusal but I picked out a [...] -
Secret folder automatically adds content to iTunes
Posted on September 11, 2009 | No Comments
Well this is a fine kettle of fish: Apple has added a secret folder to our file systems that essentially sucks any content inside into iTunes. The watched folders are:
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Automatically Add to iTunes/ in OS X C:\Users\Your Username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes\ in Windows
If you drop an MP3 into there they get sucked into iTunes and disappear immediately, like a magic box. This would allow you to record your own music, for example, and add it to iTunes when you mix down and/or drag all your recently downloaded tunes straight into iTunes -

The teeny, tiny little music making thing in a Tic Tac box
Posted on July 16, 2009 | No Comments
This slightly complex Instructable shows you how to make a wee little potentiometer and circuit board to make something called a Tic Tac Tunes. When you move a stylus up and down the potentiometer you play one or more of the notes in a pre-defined set of musical tones. In this way you can play the song at different tempos. You then stuff the whole thing in a Tic Tac box and play away, ensuring you'll be the life of the party.
