Podbop

February 16th, 2006

I just came across Podbop.org. This is one of the most amazing information aggregators I’ve ever seen, and a huge boon to any iPN reader. It’s as simple as they come. You just enter your city and it gives you back a list of bands that will be playing in your area along with a link to the gig info at Eventful, plus free MP3s from the bands. You can also subscribe to your city’s list via RSS. Now, even if you just got the list of shows in your feed reader, the site would kick ass, but get this… you can plug the feed into your podcatcher, and get each of the MP3s as a podcast.

God, I love this stuff.

It looks so cool on my Nano. I just listened to the first set of songs yesterday, and I loved being able to click through to the information page with the date/time/venue information for the concert.

[Disclaimer: I work for EVDB and I’m a total drooling fanboy for Taylor McKnight.]

Ipod Freedom release Date July 4th, 2006

New hot rumor, guys ;)

The new Ipod has no buttons, no scroll wheel, no headphone jack, no dock connector. In other words freedom from everything. The most aesthetic piece of technology ever conceived.

1. Power Supply through SplashPower. Similar to those toothbrushes and razors that charge through there plastics with magnetic fields.(strange they haven’t updated there site since September 05…did Apple acquire them?)

2. Transfer of songs…Wireless USB

3. Headphone jack…Bluetooth

4. Navigation…virtual touchless/touch screen. As your finger moves over the ipods screen a virtual scrolling interface pops up allowing for more screen real-estate. fingerprints?? not to worry you don’t actually have to touch the screen, embedded in/behind the lcd are capacitors that can tell, which direction your fingers are going.

5. Hold Button/Power On fingerprint screen identification(great for if your ipod is stolen)

So, there you have it a completely enclosed ipod, so elegant as not to have a single button or port opening or anything but a beautiful screen… Apple will release the Ipod July 4th 2006… Independence Day… free your self from everything.

*ipod Nano will still have dock connector for now.

The Library

I've removed the little flash player that was here for now. It was causing some problems with the site in several browsers... okay... mostly it was IE6 because... well... I'm fairly sure that Microsoft hates me.

For now, you can view the Complete Library page, which is kind of a master list of every single track we've linked to.
