Accessing iTunes Beyond the Keyboard

One of the biggest challanges in the home automation media market is controling devices already in the home that customers use everyday.  Accessing and controling media has become a mainstay of daily life for just about everyone, but most methods are not known or seem too complicated for the average consumer.  Sure media server devices are everywhere, but they may be costly and purchasing new equipment can drive everyone bonkers.  Additionally, these devices may not be a fit for automation.

Behind the Scenes of OK Go’s Amazing Rube Goldberg Machine

OK Go has released another amazing video for the song "This Too Shall Pass" involving toppling dominos, mousetrap activated levers, and smashing TVs. Pulling off a video like this is a huge undertaking and they have done so in an impressive way. Once again another masterpiece from the OK Go gang.

Peachtree Audio's Nova: Digital Media Merged with High End Audio

As the way we store, access, and listen to music has changed over the course of the past decade or so, the argument over digital media and great sound has been a heated one.  True audio listeners are against the methods commonly used for listening to digital media and non audio buffs do not that the content can be played back on a great system.

Instant Concerts from EMI

We live in a wonderful time, with the internet and digital media formats our favorite recordings and movies can be beamed to our homes at a moments notice.  However, we have to wait sometime after the recording in a studio, at a concert, or filming of a movie to enjoy it in our homes.



EMI has a resolution for that..  Called Abbey Road Live, EMI will make concerts available for purchase through various formats directly after the concert has ended.  Imagine going to a concert and then being able to listen to it when you arrive home.  This sounds extremely cool to me...

Discover Great Music on YouTube with TubeRadio.fm

If you are a music lover who enjoys watching music videos from YouTube, then there is a new online interface that you need to check out. TubeRadio.fm has a solution that provides an easy to use FREE interface to locate music, create, and share playlists.

Laid out similar to iTunes and working in the same manner as iTunes and Real Player, the interface allows for your favorite music to be searched and played. Upon typing in an artist’s name, a list of all the tracks available on YouTube appears. From there tracks can be played and added to playlists, a free login can be created that stores the playlist information.





Playing back and saving to playlists is only the beginning, play whole albums via discography, purchase albums via download from 7Digital or CDs from Amazon, and share your playlists via Twitter, Facebook, email, and more.  Here is a playlist that I created for Stevie Ray Vaughan.
While the interface has some quirks, it is a very useful and fun way to enjoy music from YouTube. I recommend taking it for a spin and see for yourself.
