Napster tries $5 subscription on for size

By Brenda Stokes on Monday, May 18th 2009 No Comments

napster logo sm Napster has been known to be having a bit of trouble with their music download service, but they’re now trying to spruce it up by offering a subscription service with a dramatically lower price tag than the competition at only $5 a month.

You will gain access to as much music as you want under the new subscription plan, so long as it’s streamed onto your computer. You will also get five MP3s you can download and keep per month as a part of the deal.

If you live in the U.S., you can sign up for the new plan today. With the economy so bad and Napster really struggling to maintain a foothold, this move makes sense. However, time will only tell if this is enough to resurrect the company and keep them relevant.

Tonium Pacemaker Pocket DJ Unboxing

By Steven Grady on Thursday, May 7th 2009 No Comments

I’ll admit, I had no idea what I was getting into when I opened up the Pacemaker. The functionality and the features of the device are astounding. The Pacemaker Pocket DJ system is a 60 GB portable turntable and mixer that allows you to store your music, beats, and mixes on the internal storage, and spin your music on the go. The Pacemaker features the ability to play two tracks side by side, allowing fading and mixing between the two tracks. Cross fading and mixing is an easy task since you can select any two tracks on the device and have one playing while the other is cued up. Whatever track is active will play through the speakers, while you can have the preview of the cued track playing through the headphones.

Project Stella is no exception: JoeLMutantE’s analog step sequencer may be based on an old P3 sequencer kit, but with its non-traditional ellipsoidal layout it looks thoroughly modern.
