The Llama, Still Getting Kicked
Legendary media player Winamp is up to something. Dominick Milano, SVP at parent company Targetspot (itself a division of AudioValley), says “The past becomes the future” and points his LinkedIn followers to open beta registration HERE. Whatever unfolds is of key interest, as Winamp (the first free-and-easy MP3 player) was a vital key to the development of consumer-friendly online audio. We greatly look forward to knowing more about its reinvention.
Steve Keller
Pandora’s Steve Keller is making a presentation next week in NYC. It’s called “Sounds Incredible! A Sonic Sensploration.” About the power of sound, it’s also a commercial for Mercedes cars, which evidently use sound in special ways. It appears to be free, and is in-person only — no virtual component. Which is the best way to experience Steve’s hat. Info HERE.
