iTunes 8
Lets face it iTunes could be so much more… hopefully iTunes 8 will go a long way (or a little knowing Apple) to correcting iTunes short falls. On the 9th of September Apple hosts its ‘Lets Rock’ event which is the official launch of aplles new iTunes 8 software, but some leaked details will give you a taster of what you can expect to find.
The biggest talking point is the new ‘Genius’ element which is capable of creating playlists from songs in your library that iTunes reckons would sound good together.

Sing along with - EasySing MK 8131
As a complete Karaoke virgin, myself and 3 girlfriends spent a night in with the EasySing Karaoke Microphone – a neat and compact Karaoke machine that comes with 2 professional microphones (one wired, one wireless) 200 pre-loaded songs, a song binder, carry case and USB cables.
With some trepidation (and a health warning issued to anyone within earshot), we started our little sing song. After a fairly quiet start, we all found ourselves browsing the well ranging song list to find something we could sing next – or get someone else to sing. Due to a second wireless microphone, duets were also an option.

Share your iPod Songs via miShare
If you need to copy songs from one iPod to another then the miShare can help. The miShare connects directly between two iPods and will copy song at the touch of a button without the need for a computer. A single button press copies the last song or video played or a pre-selected photo folder. A longer press duplicates any files you’ve got stored in your current On-The-Go playlist, so you can easily copy multiple files.
Unfortunately, the miShare doesn’t currently work with the iPhone or iPod Touch, but should work fine with all other iPods with the standard 30-pin dock connector (Mini, Nano, 3G, 4G, Video (5G), and Classic (6G) models).
Available for $99 about £50

Otto the sound enhancer
Check out this sound enhancer called Otto designed by Duncan Wilson with a collaboration with Manolis Kelaidis of IDE at the Royal College of Art.
We designed OTTO (Greek for ‘ear’); a device that makes hidden sounds audible. This is achieved via a thin polymer piezoelectric contact that senses weak vibrations and plays them as a sound through an integrated speaker. OTTO can be positioned on almost any surface through a combination of suction and magnets. By placing several units on different objects, one can select and create a new sonic experience and a form of ambient music appreciation, thereby utilising our space as a multidirectional audio platform.
