Last.fm is my usual streaming source when I’m at work and even when I am at home where I have access to my pretty extensive digital music library. I use the desktop application for Mac and Windows which lets you access your library, friends and loved tracks directly for streaming. If you use [...]

Just listening to my Last.fm recommendations and came across this interesting mash-up of Dan Zanes and Natural Born Killers:

In case you are curious, the audio was from the soundtrack…

One considerable annoyance of the E71 is the 2.5mm headset connection which makes using your high end headphones impossible… at least without an adapter.
I had an adapter from a few years ago when I ran into a similar situation with the Treo. That adapter unfortunately was only dual-mono which works fine for calls [...]

I have no idea when this was added, but I just noticed there’s an option in your Last.FM profile to subscribe to a recommended selection podcast. This is a great option for anyone looking to expand their musical discovery on the go.

The Podcast feed is standard and should work on any device or media [...]

Last night I had an interesting conversation with my wife.  She asked if I had purchased a few albums we’d previously discussed recently.  I mentioned that I had downloaded a bunch of things to my Zune (love that subscription!), but realized while saying this that there was no way for me to share these albums [...]

I’ve had a pair of Shure EC4 in-ear phones for a few years and I recently shorted out my second pair. I’m not sure what the deal is with my usage, but I tend to kill mobile headsets and earphones far too easily.
Tonight while waiting in Atlanta I decided to go for it and upgrade [...]

Nokia released an official Internet Radio application (today?) which I’ve been checking it out tonight and definitely like what I see and hear! I had last used streaming internet radio on the N91, but that open source application lacked some polish as well as integration with my device as is found in today’s release. [...]

I had a nice discussion (mp3) with Ricky and Dameon last night on Nokia and the mobile market. We talked about possible future directions for Nokia, the Internet Tablet and the N95 among other topics … probably something we’ll be doing again soon!
I also created an enhanced version (itunes .m4a) with links and images [...]

Bandwagon which launches this week is going to enable simple point and click backup of your iTunes library to Amazon’s S3 storage cloud!! This is awesome! While I’ve got my library sitting on a local RAID, having an offsite location for over 200GB of data is a great feeling of security.

Seriously looking forward [...]

I had read about but was struggling to recall an app that could easily sync content from iTunes to a mass storage device (mounted memory card for example) and finally re-discovered SyncTunes today!
Through the magic of this application I can now VERY easily sync content to either memory card in the Nokia N800 which is [...]

Fred notes a problem and recommends a solution for sharing music regardless of how you choose to listen…
Some people use Napster. Some use Rhapsody. Some use Yahoo Music. I think these services should get together and let their users “roam” onto other networks. Let’s say my brother uses Napster and he wants to send me [...]

Orbitcast reports on the launchh of Sirius Internet Radio, which I really like in theory. What I don’t like is the Windows Media Player requirement which makes the interface on the Mac a total kludge.
You have to use Safari (no firefox) and you have to run the browser and an external [...]

FrozenSilicon Labs:: PandoraBoy is basically the same as PandoraMan in look and feel, but with added (and most excellent) support for Growl Notifications, the Apple remote (MacBook Pro!) and Global Keyboard shortcuts. I can now stream in the background (over my EVDO connection!) while rating advancing tracks as I go without having to leave [...]

BMW has launched a site promoting 4 new audiobooks, which I’ve just downloaded.  This is a joint promotion from Random House, though BMW retains the branding on things… I’ve yet to listen, but am syncing to my iPod for the train home.  This seems like a nice brand extention idea – mobile content to enjoy [...]

I’ve added a few new tools of note to my gadget bag and thought I’d share…
First, Ashley was kind enough to get me a new 60GB 5G iPod and it’s a wonderful change from my previous 3G 40GB model. I love the color, size and resolution of the screen. The overall size [...]

I discovered my Nano had a broken screen while commuting home last night.  I was just sitting on the train listening to a podcast and went to choose something else when it ended and found this.
I can assure you that no extreme activities had been taking place.  This is just crap.  Now I will have [...]

This is cool stuff…. Nice to know it can be added for my commuting listening pleasure.
CBS WILL DISTRIBUTE ITS FREE podcasts, from “60 Minutes” to the long-running soap “Guiding Light,” on Apple’s iTunes Music Store, CBS Digital President Larry Kramer said Monday. The extensive suite of CBS podcasts includes news, entertainment, and sports programming [...]

Cringely has released NerdTV and I’ve been listening (I am at work) to the first show, an interview with Andy Hertzfeld which is really excellent. I look forward to the rest of the series as it develops.

Nice piece in the NYT about Adam Curry’s deal with Sirius… He’ll be hosting a daily 4 hour show on channel 148, Talk Central. The show will have advertising (designed to fit in with the flow) and will be all about Podcasting as you might expect. Adam Curry’s Podshow starts on May [...]
