Hey! I have been looking for some music that I like from new bands and I found this site called jamendo. It's got some great music on it and you can download it for free and it's legal because it's under a creative commons licence. It only requires you to have bitorrent (let's face it, most people have this) or eMule. Check it out.
Yes, soon there will be an add-on for Nintendo's latest portable gaming platform (the DS). This add-on will allow the DS to be an MP3 player. This will make the DS not only a gaming platform, a webrowser but an music playing device too. Whats next video (doubt it) if so then it will almost have as much gizmos as the PSP. Anyway here are the specs for the add-on:
- For Nintendo DS (to be inserted into slot 2) and Game Boy Advance hardware
- To store music you need SD cards. Up to 2 GB cards are supported, this equals to 500 songs (best sound quality)
- Choose between different skins (including one with Mario)
- The interface shows all important information
- The unit itself features another headphone port
Well that's about it for now. Thanks to Gizmodo
SpiralFrog is a new online music destination, offering ad-supported legal downloads of audio and video content licensed from the catalogs of the world’s major and independent record labels.
Sounds cool right. Again we see the old Hicup of DRM come into play. Theres not much about this DRM yet because the service hasn't been released yet. We will have to wait to the fall.
Some features:
Thanks to TechcrunchSpiral Frog will offer a desktop downloader for Windows Media Files (no iPods!) that can be listened to on one PC and two portable devices. Here’s the kicker - you must log in to the Spiral Frog service at least once per month, and see their ads, or your files will stop playing! The details aren’t fully set in stone, but it will be something like that. There will be links to third party sites of the record labels’ choosing if you’d like to buy your freedom to at least skip the ads.
Spiral Frog will also offer far more than just music, but also video and other digital content. The selling point here is that users will be able to access media legally, without the malware, bad network connections and pirate’s shame that comes from other online media sources
I expect you all know about Microsoft's "iPod killer" the Zune. Well some Exclusive pictures of the prototypes have been leaked. It doesen't look to bad keeping in mind it is made by Microsoft. Thanks to Gizmodo.
Edit: Ok, i just found some infomation on the funtions of the Zune. You can find them here (Gizmodo)
