YouTube Music Is Getting an AI Voice That Pitches You Podcasts Every Week
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Google, Music,
There are more podcasts than you will ever get to, and the one you'd love is usually the one nobody told you about. YouTube's answer, announced at Made on YouTube today, is an AI voice that tells you about a few of them once a week.
It's called Your Podcast Lineup, and it lives in the YouTube Music app. YouTube describes it as a personalized AI audio guide: a quick weekly spoken preview of recommended shows that explains why you'll like them, then jumps into suggested episodes. YouTube calls the experience "completely eyes-optional and hands-free," so it's built for the commute or the dishes. It's coming soon to YouTube Music and Premium subscribers worldwide, and 9to5Google reports testing starts later this year.

Geared Up: Microsoft’s Mystery Foldable Surface Tablet, Updated Nintendo Switch Mini, & Apple vs Spotify Intensifies!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Music, PC / Laptop, Video Games, Videos,
This week on Geared Up, we talk about the latest rumors say that Microsoft is working on a new secret new foldable Surface tablet device that will be able to run Android apps and iCloud services, with a stripped down Windows Core OS - this will likely be more of a mobile device than a laptop, with LTE and 5G options available. This reminds me of the Microsoft Courier project from back in 2009 - take a look at the embedded video below!
Nintendo is ready to release two new updates to the Nintendo Switch lineup. First, a new miniature version of the popular Switch console that will likely be the successor to the Nintendo 3DS. In addition, there will be a more powerful Nintendo Switch "Pro" that will be 4K-capable when docked, with an upgrade to a 1080p display on the Switch unit itself.
Apple and Spotify's battle intensifies in court, with the two companies going back-and-forth in a public battle.
Finally, we also talk about the death of YouTube creator, Etika, and the state of mental health of content creators in this day and age.

Chromecast Audio allows you to stream music to your speakers, new or old
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Google, Home Entertainment,
The future of music is streaming - whether that means streaming from a service like Spotify, Apple Music, or Google Play Music, or streaming your local library throughout your home to various devices in your house. Did you know that you can take any of your old speakers and breath new life into them, allowing them to join in on streaming content from either your local library or the cloud?
All you need is the Google Chromecast Audio and a Wi-Fi network. Simply plug the device into an available speaker through the AUX port, then into USB for power, and your old speakers are now ready for your streaming music. You can send audio from your smartphone, tablet, or computer right over your Wi-Fi network, which provides a much stronger and robust connection than using Bluetooth.
