What’d You Get This Year?

So Christmas has finally come and will soon be gone. Time to tear down the decorations, dump the tree on the curb—or in your neighbors yard—kick the relatives out and forget any of this ever happened. But before you do that, tell us what we’ve been dying to know: What did you get? A shiny new ZuneHD? Sansa Clip? Those headphones you’ve been eying? A toaster? Let us know what the fat man brought you in the comments below. By the way, we received a lump of coal. Apparently, what happened in Vegas, did not stay in Vegas.

The Private Soundtrack: The MP3 Player Provides Perpetual Music

Of all of the inventions of recent times, one of the favorites is the portable MP3 player. It is a small device that holds large amounts of music, making it the best way that we have to provide a private soundtrack. One of the most common brands is the iPod. Kids can be rough on their iPod, though, and break the screen. When this happens, you need a professional who can perform ipod screen repair. This repair person will also be able to provide iphone screen repair. At the present time, the MP3 player is the acme of music portability.

Up until just a few years ago, music was only as portable as the instruments carried by the musicians. Until this time, all music was live. Music lovers bought a ticket at a local concert hall to hear the symphony or an opera. For an evening at home with friends, whether it is a dance or dinner party, music was provided by neighbors or traveling musicians. Since all music had to be performed live, most children had music lessons, whether voice or an instrument. This meant that a person could provide his or own music by playing or singing alone in their room.

The first development that allowed people to listen to music outside the presence of musicians was the phonograph. Musicians could record their performance on a record, and this record could be reproduced for sale. Phonographs or record players were designed with different levels of portability. The first victrolas had some portability. While they were table sized, they did not require electricity. The turn of the crank gave the device the kinetic energy it needed to play the records. Later, the living room hi-fi was a piece of furniture that remained in place, but kids preferred portable record players that they could take from their bedroom to the basement for a party.

Next came the radio. The first radios were also articles of furniture that occupied an honored spot in the living room. The radio provided the music lover with a larger variety of music because the radio provide live music or had a supply of records that was larger than most people could have. Over time, although they still had to be plugged in, radios shrank to smaller, more manageable sizes. The next breakthrough arrived in the 1960s, when transistor radios was an inexpensive choice. These small radios ran on batteries, allowing the young people to carry their broadcast music in their pocket for the first time.

After the transistor radio became popular, development of other small music players followed in a short time. The next inventions consisted of the cassette tape and eight-track tape. The Walkman came out as the first portable tape player. It was small enough to carry easily, but it required the listener to carry a supply of cassette tapes. Then along came CDs, which are more durable than a fragile tape. But still, a supply of CDs was needed for variety. The final breakthrough was the .mp3 file and web sites that sell them for about a dollar apiece. Now a tiny MP3 player can be slipped into the pocket to play the thousands of songs that can be stored in its memory.

SAFA Goes Low-Rez with the ‘TTing’ Player

South Korean DAP maker SAFA just announced the release of its latest player, the TTing, which features a unique dot-matrix display comprised of 27 LEDs. Why two ‘T’s in the name you ask? Because that’s how SAFA rolls. The 40x40x12mm player features 4 touch sensitive buttons around the face, 4 tactile buttons on the sides and a “G-sensor mode for interactive operation”—whatever that means. It also has a 12 hour battery life, and a speaker on the rear. The 27 pixel LED display probably won’t show you album art, but it can be programmed to display several icons and can also be used to play games such as “dice” and the age old game of “paper, stone, and scissors”. So, bonus. So where can you get it and for how much? We have no idea, SAFA failed to mention that. But we’ll venture to guess it’ll be released somewhere in South Korea, and judging by that FCC badge on the back, it may make a US appearance as well. [ SAFA , aving.net via PlayerBites ]
