As it… Read More

Need a high quality audio player for the iphone ipad? Check out McIntosh AP1. It wont sound better, but it will feel like it. I have not been really paying attention to the sound quality on my iphone because really, despite the ipod heritage, its not that great. I have tried it a nice headset, but again, its just ok. So I have resigned myself to lo-fi audio. Then on a whim I tried the McIntosh API player skin.… Read More
A cool looking Guitar Synth for your iPad This has been out a few days and I have been checking out the videos. The video is a bit silly, but gets the point across.

Mon Dieu! The Best iPhone musical performance ever using EverydayLooper!! Ever since back in the early days of jailbreak; we had drums, and guitars and (kinda) keyboards mixed in with a few other instruments. Then came the wind apps, by blowing into the speaker, a few karaoke apps and then voice autocorrect. They were all fun and all, however, this app EverydayLooper really shined when… Read More
Alternative to iTunes is here!! Oh wait.. Spotify is only in Europe As I’ve said before, I do not like iTunes, so I have been waiting for a good replacement. I REALLY hate that I cannot make changes to my playlist unless I’m connect to the ONE machine that has my playlist. Bollocks! There have been many I’ve played with, but I knew about Spotify (a Swedish… Read More
What is a cassette deck? R U kidding? This was funny. I have a number of cassettes from ‘back in the day’. Quite a large number in fact. So I decided that I would get my old cassette player and convert them to mp3 at work since I’m at the desk most of the day there anyway. So I packed my ‘ol cassette… Read More
Run Pandora in the background on the iPhone.. Jailbreak only of course. This is great. I use Pandora as my radio when I drive for my radio music exclusively.

Funny thing though, the radio stations in the Bay area stink for… Read More
