Mutify – Advertising killer for spotify

January 18, 2010

Hi!

as you already know I am an spotify fan but not a premium user… so advertising is present on my spotify experience.  At the moment that’s not a problem but I know that lots of people are tired of that advertising.

Moreover, Spotify pauses adverts when you turn down volume so you are constrained to listen to adverts.

To avoid that problem with adverts I have found Mutify which is an application that turns volume down when detects that and adverts is currently playing. Mutify has a DB which enables that feature. Unfortunately some tracks are detected as an advert even if they are not. In any case you can easily re enable the track.

If you want to download Mutify you can do it here

Mutify has been developed for Windows so Mac users can’t use it.  For Mac users you can take a look to this link which proposes some solutions for Mac:

Spotify – do you know it?

January 5, 2010

Hi all

today I want to present you an incredible concept of listening and sharing music through the internet.  I suppose that some of you already know spotify but for those who don’t you must try it!

With this product you won’t need to store huge amounts of music in your computer since Spotify has all that music stored and ready to be use via internet. Therefore the only thing you need is the Spotify application, a Spotify account and a normal internet connection.

This application enables you to create your own playlist or share those playlist with others.

Unfortunately by the moment Spotify is limited to a few countries which are:

Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, France and Spain

If  you are in one of these countries, you must try this amazing product!! Following a video to introduce you to Spotify:

In order to get a Spotify  account you must be invited or pay for the premium subscription which enable you to listen to the music without internet connection and to run spotify even in countries where spotify is not still live. The premium subscription enables you to have spotify in your mobile as well.

In any case if you’re looking for an invite just leave me a comment and I can help you on that process.

enjoy!!

Google Wave update

December 30, 2009

Hi all!!

after been using Google Wave for a month I have realized that a very important feature is missing! this feature  is the popup notifier!! Since it’s a kind of instant messaging I would expect to be notified whenever a wave has changed but, by the moment wave is not able to do that.

Looking around internet I have found some ideas to support this feature:

  • GoogleWave Notifier Chrome extension (download)
    • you need the last beta Chrome browser to support extensions!
  • Firefox add-on (download)
  • Google Wave Notifier for Windows desktop and Wine on Linux (download)

I have been trying the Google Wave Notifier for windows and seems to work well. You enter login and password on it and then automatically you can see a new icon on your task bar. When someone writes something a pop opens automatically showing you what the other person is writing in real time.

If any of you have test one of the other 2 options please feel free to provide comments!

and with that just wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year!!
