Audio and Music
Like lots of people, I've been using Spotify on my desktop computer at work for a while now. (I have to put my earbuds in and play music when nearby coworkers are making annoying sounds--it's a lifesaver.) So I was happy to put the app on my phone and listen to my favorite songs that way too.
The Premium upgrade says you can listen to your music offline, which I'm interested in mainly because I'd like to be able to listen in my car. I started the 7-day free trial; we'll see how it goes. Interesting that I'm not able to find out how much Spotify Premium will cost if I decide to buy it! I've looked all over within the app, but can't find it. I'll look on the non-mobile site to see if the mystery is solved there.
SoundHound was fun--I played a song on my computer, held the phone up to the speaker, and within seconds, boom: "Jealous Guy" sung by Bryan Ferry, and there are the lyrics. What a great concept! Of course I told my music-freak husband, who believes it is the worst invention ever, because half the fun is figuring out what song it is without it being handed to you on some device. "We are being led by a generation of kids who know nothing about delayed gratification, and the satisfaction of figuring things out for yourself!!" Yes, we are grumpy middle-agers at my house. Still, I'll keep the app handy.
So every time I see you with ear buds on, I will think I am making annoying noises. :-)
ReplyDeleteHa!! I think you know what's behind this (NOT you...).
DeleteIf it isn't Jennifer, it must be me. :) And here all this time, I thought you were listening to educational stuff when you are wearing earbuds.
