Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Music, Portable Audio / Video, Storage, USB,

This one combines a 1GB MP3 Player, an FM tuner, and a 2.0 flash/jump drive, with a removable cap for access, all in one. It supports MP3 and WMA formats, has a customizable backlit display, and runs on an included AAA battery. Both a stereo music earphone and USB cable are included in the $18.50 price.

Musicians Rejoice: FourTrack Audio Recorder for iPhone, iPod touch
Posted by Patrick Phelps Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Handhelds, Portable Audio / Video, Software,
Musicians (and non-musicians) are often caught with songwriting ideas and nowhere to write them down; fear not, the $10 FourTrack is here! Although it’ll never replace your main recording setup, this app for the Apple iPhone or 2nd generation iPod touch records, mixes and plays up to four tracks like a pocket-sized version of Pro Tools.
Recording in true 16-bit, 44.1 kHz quality, FourTrack works with the iPhone headset mic, or an iPod touch with a third-party mic and headphones so your inspiration isn’t forgotton. Each track can be as long as your device’s memory can handle and once you’re ready, Wi-Fi Sync allows your recordings to be downloaded to nearly any desktop computer, where tracks can be transferred to whatever recording software you prefer.
You can find FourTrack in the App Store.

Pleo Celebrates Halloween
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Hot Deals, Misc. Tech, Software, Toys,
Ugobe is celebrating Pleo’s first Halloween with some new downloadable software. He will not only issue his usual noises, he can also sound like a screeching cat, a spooky ghost, a dragon and a Pleosaurus Rex. The “audio costumes” are free and you will only need a blank SD Card with a minimum of 32MB storage. At a total size of 2.7MB, Ugobe says it will take longer than most downloads, but then maybe Pleo doesn’t like holidays.

Travelers Resent PMD Users
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Music, Portable Audio / Video, Transportation,
Monash University student Michael Walsh recently conducted a study of those who used PMDs on trains. While some said it helped to escape the noise of the vehicle and other travelers, non-users sometimes resented them because the user “fails to communally experience the aural soundscape.” The report also said that although most of the PMP owners realized that they could damage their hearing they wouldn’t give it up. They might want to think about that one. Those of us that attended rock concerts years back that had the same warning didn’t listen either.
