Perhaps the most popular these days is Spotify, which can be used for free, though a premium subscription brings more functionality. Now Spotify is trying to pull in more
Have you ever wanted to watch movies outside during a backyard party or a camping trip? Dashbon, a start up company that makes mobile audio visual products, can turn the idea of outdoor movie watching into a reality. Flicks, the first product from Dashbon, is available now. Marlo and Todd spoke with CEO of Dashbon, Andrew Lin, at CES 2016.
Aumeo Audio is the world's first tailored audio device. It was designed to unlock your best hearing solution. Aumeo has been fully funded on Indiegogo and will be at CES 2016.

Pandora has launched something new called Thumbprint Radio. They describe it on their blog as “a hyper-personalized station for each listener”. Your unique, individual, Thumbprint Radio station will include music based upon your thumb.

Earlier this year, I wrote about how music-sharing site This Is My Jam would be closing. And while This Is My Jam is still slated to go into archive mode, a new service named Nusiki has popped up to carry on where This Is My Jam left off. When creating a Nusiki account, users have the option to enter their This
Add this to the, "I had no idea that was even still around" file. Mail-order media company Columbia House is finally shutting down for good. I guess this is another win for digital media and another loss for lovers of physical media. I'm also guessing that a person's familiarity with Columbia House and its ubiquitous "12 Records or Tapes for
Music discovery and social sharing site This Is My Jam is shutting down. But the site won't completely disappear from the Internet. From an e-mail sent today to This Is My Jam users: Well, this is a tough one to send.

There are many complaints about digital music. Some say its audio quality doesn't measure up to analog sources like vinyl records. Others contend that ever-expanding digital divide has been causing the once thriving music industry to eat itself, leaving many artists out in the cold.

Line 6 is a musical instrument and audio equipment manufacturer that's been a real industry innovator for nearly two decades. I bought my first Line 6 guitar amp back in 2001 and have been hooked on the company's products ever since. At this point, it'd be a neck-and-neck battle between Line 6 and Apple as far as which company has
At Gadget Show Live, I had the chance to chat with Michael from Sennheiser about their current headphone range including the Urbanites and the latest iteration in their classic Momentum series. The second generation Momentum M2 maintains the original's high fidelity while improving the headphones' comfort. The Momentum Wireless is ideal for the traveller with Sennheiser's active noise-cancellation technology, NoiseGard, and
As a performing musician, it can be a real drag to have to deal with an instrument cable hanging off behind you on stage.
