To preview their forthcoming album, Tomorrow's World, pop duo Erasure have produced a tribute to the future-gazing BBC TV show of the same name. British geeks of a certain age will fondly remember this TV programme for introducing us to gadgets such as Walkmans, CDs and camcorders. It was also notorious for showing off products that promptly disappeared and never
Channel 4 News is reporting that the British Government will put forward changes to the UK's archaic copyright laws on Wednesday. Format shifting for both music and video is expected to become legal as will sharing with family. Parody works will gain protection. The proposals will be announced by Vince Clarke Cable, Business Secretary on Wednesday, and while file sharing
I’ve been trying out Spotify Premium the last couple of days since it came out in the U.S. I have to decide between it and Slacker Radio which I’ve been having a lot of fun with lately. First Spotify appears to have more tracks in it’s collection 15 million compared to 8 million for Slacker. They both appear to have
Amazon came first with the cloud music storage service, but Google tried to trump them. While I never tried out Amazon Music because I just didn't find it compelling enough, I have been test-driving Google Music for a couple of weeks now. Why did I find it more alluring? Storage space! Now Amazon is upping the ante, though. While Google
With my invitation to Google music secured, the Google Music Manager installed on my PC, and 90 GB of music slowly making its way to the cloud, there is one final hurdle to overcome. That is installing the Google Music app on my Droid X. After all, what good is all of this if I can't have my music on
I received my Google Music Beta invite late Monday afternoon. After downloading the Music Manager I started to up load my music. My music is stored on an external drive to upload it into the music player I simply hit Other and then added the folder. It took between 15 and 16 hours to upload 1,836 songs. Any song that
The music festival season is underway in the UK, with Glastonbury Festival starting tomorrow. To celebrate, Orange have invented a t-shirt that recharges mobile phones using a piezoelectric material to convert sound waves into electricity. Over a weekend of music, the t-shirt will produce enough juice to charge a smartphone. The t-shirts were developed by Orange in conjunction with GotWind,
Yesterday, June 6 Apple announce several products that they are going to be releasing later this year. Lion which is the next operating system for Apple, will be release in July for $29.99. In the fall upgrades to iOS 5 and iCloud will be released. The one thing that was released yesterday to the general public was the ability to
Even in the absence of any real musical ability, sometimes it's fun to bash away on a drum kit. Most of the various application catalogues for smartphones have little virtual drum kits so you can drum away whenever the urge to jam comes on. The HP App Catalog for WebOS (that's the Palm Pre series, the Pixi and the Veer) has a
Grooveshark has become one of my favorite web apps. If you're a music fan then this is THE destination for checking out songs and deciding what you want to buy and what isn't as good, upon second listen, as you thought. Recently it entered the Android Marketplace...and then exited it just as quickly. Grooveshark is a controversial program, but tobody,
I am on the look out for new music and I want to hear it before I buy it. At this point of time I have iTunes and Pandora. I like them both, but they both have their weaknesses. iTunes is great way to store music you already own, but it's not very good at finding new music. The iTunes
About a month ago I received a Netgear NeoTV 550 for review. I am an avid Media Center PC user, which meant I was immediately skeptical of any replacement for my beloved HTPC. Initially I found my skepticism warranted, but over the past month that changed. It changed for two reasons - one was my own network setup problem and
