Gone Are The Days Of Simply Listening to a Song iTunes
Don’t you just hate when some over-zeleaous, self-promoting DJ ruins a song with their crappy voice overs? Get ready for a whole new generation of song spamming DJ’s through SpotDJ.
SpotDJ, an application that enables people to record and share audio commentary about music through media players (such as iTunes) bringing context and community to the “music experience”.
SpotDJ works with iTunes and plays short audio tidbits (they call them spots) about your favorite songs and artists while you listen to your music. At the end of a song, if SpotDJ has a spot relevant to that song, it plays the spot and then iTunes moves on to the next track as usual. So to summarize, while trying to listen to a song, you are forced to listen to someone add in their two cents about the song, the artist, or whatever it is they wish to speak about, essentially ruining the reason you are listening to the song…to hear it.
Now I am certain SpotDJ has it’s place within the music experience community, but I am curious as to what the overall value of the software is. Are there that many people in the world that want to hear what someone else thinks of a song?
I want to know what you think. Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Creativity knows no bounds when it comes to technology and as an Apple fangirl, I love when individuals make an effort to break from the mundane! Case in point this iPod Laptop (yes folks that is not a typo) that is just not a pretty package. This novel device actually runs Linux but how you will actually use it remains a big question. The iPod Laptop may not replace the Macbook but kudos to the creator for going where no man has gone before!
