Cool Covers Muxtape

Muxtape is a cool (and free) online music service. The site enables anyone to easily create & share mp3 "mixtapes". I checked it out briefly when it first launched (I believe in March or April of this year) but never revisited. Today, I came across this muxtape created by Joe Laz that is a mix ("tape") of covers of interesting songs by interesting bands. Worth checking out...joelaz.muxtape.com

Gotta Get Gizmo-Squeezebox Duet

If you like music and use web-based music services (e.g., iTunes, Last.fm, Rhapsody, etc.), like most people today do, you gotta check out Squeezebox Duet from Logitech. CNET did a review of Duet at CES this year (click here). I just pre-ordered the Duet online here. It’s expected to ship later this month. I’m going for just one controller and one receiver for now, but expect I’ll be getting another set for upstairs too. I’m an active user of Rhapsody and have wanted to get either a Squeezebox or Sonos setup ever since my good buddy who works at Rhapsody demo’d them both to me. The final straw came just recently when the Duet was announced in January with the cool new controller. Also, my wife has been asking for a better music setup for upstairs. This will be perfect.
