Amplified Journeys

Input your starting and ending locations, type of genre you would like to listen too, and a custom playlist will be displayed for you. The service is free and is interesting to see what the site picks for you when you travel from the east coast to west or just an hour away.

When I typed in Bear, Delaware to Fenwick Island, Delaware and chose the genre "Country" it found 29 tracks which it said I would enjoy during the 98 mile ride.

Thank Goodness Amplified Journeys is still in BETA mode.

Anyway, there are three options as I see it after the list is displayed. You can e-mail, export or print the playlist. While it isn't clear if iTunes or another source for downloading music will join forces with them, it looks like for now you would have to download each specified track on your own.

In the end, I think it's a really neat idea but has a lot of missing pieces and room for error. Still, I give major props to the speak company of harman/kardon for coming up with the idea.

    Woof Woof!

    This is cracking me up!

    I didn't know whether to write this under geek or design so I'm just throwing it in here and hoping everyone finds it alright.

    These speakers...look like dogs.

    You can apply them to any audio device with 3.5mm headjack, e.g. PC, Mac, iPod, PDA, MP3 player, CD player. It claims they have a high quality sound. Lol. All I know is they look pretty darn pissed off and I think they are hilarious.

    Would you use speakers like this? I'm not sure I would. I think I would want better speakers, no offense, I'm just so weird about my gadgets and my music, ya know what I'm saying? But they are cute and definitely would prompt an interesting conversation.
