The Rise of Home Speakers with Built In Radio 4.0 Compatibility (Google Home, Apple HomePod)
A new search for Adobe Analytics offers further revelations on smart speakers. The analysis showed an increase in the number of users: to date, in fact, 43 million Americans have already bought at least one smart speaker. This figure is the result of the increase in the last few months, but this time no major new events have been presented to those already analyzed on NL.
If sales have increased without any significant commercial event, such as black friday or the purchase of Christmas gifts, it means that these numbers are destined to grow. The survey also focused on this: in fact, out of the total number of users examined, about half (45%) already owns a smart speaker and expressed a willingness to buy another one during the festivities of 25 December, while the 23% said they wanted to buy one to give as gifts.
It is not a hidden fact that most smart speaker owners would like to own another one, but the researchers also wanted to investigate the uses that users make of them. The most common activity is always the reproduction of audio of all kinds – both from the Spotify player and from radio stations (as you can also do through the FM World application and other aggregators ), which on podcasts of all kinds – followed by constant updates on the weather.
The weather forecast, in fact, together with the news from the world and concerning traffic, are the most common requests in the time slot from 5 to 9 am – if you put yourself on the side of the users – that translate into the most executed command from the side of the smart speaker. In addition, they are increasing – always taking into consideration the sample being researched and thanks to the simplification of daily activities – those related to shopping: from ordering food to the home, looking for hotels to spend the holidays, until the addition of items to shopping lists on online platforms such as Amazon, Aliexpress and Zalando, already on smart devices.
The forecast of Adobe Analytics on the increase in sales during the Christmas period could, therefore, prove to be spot on.
The Struggle Between Traditional Radio and Podcast
Will terrestrial radio survive a future that is increasingly assumed to be podcast? If so, how?
Two central questions in the debate on the relationship between radio and podcast, which a journalist present at the Interactive Advertising Bureau’s 2018 Podcast Upfront , on September 6 in New York, has posed to Bob Pittman and Jarl Mohn, friends in life and real experts in the field : the first is the CEO and Chairman of iHeartMedia , the largest radio broadcast but also an American commercial radio podcast service ; the second CEO of National Public Radio (NPR), an expression of the US public service.
Both respondents started from the assumption that the success of a medium is largely determined by chance and luck, but that an approach that follows what the consumer prefers is fundamental.
Mohn called it “pattern recognition”: it involves doing research, collecting as much data as possible to understand what the consumer likes and packaging products based on these preferences. In this way it would be possible to build quality content, the only way – in the opinion of the exponent of NPR – to ensure that users continue to enjoy the public network, via radio, podcast and the Internet. According to the CEO of the largest independent non-profit radio network in the United States, therefore, podcasts and terrestrial radios can coexist thanks to quality. And, indeed, the podcast can provide an appeal for new advertisers who until now had not been interested in radio.
More cynical, Pittman, who does not try to deny possible cannibalization, talks about it as an opportunity: “Steve Jobs, father of the iPod, understood that the future of listening would be the telephone. Instead of trying to defend the iPod, he built the phones. Good idea, eh? ” Commented the representative of the largest US broadcast group, suggesting that probably terrestrial radios and podcasts are two forms of conflicting audio communication, but that the winning approach for companies like iHeartMedia must always be that of follow the evolution of consumer habits, to provide them with favorite content in the best way.
Sony Car Audio System Makes Listening to Music via Car Play or Android Auto More Fun
Among the many new products brought by Sony to IFA 2018 there are also the unpublished XAV-AX3005DB and XAV-AX1000 . If the names do not help you much to decipher their characteristics, know that these are special smart displays for cars, with compatibility for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay .
The devices are made up of large panels of 6.95 and 6.2 inches respectively, with Clear Responsive Touchscreen technology that allows a comfortable and pleasant interface management. By connecting your smartphone Android or iOS you can access all the services related to the desired car platform, using apps and streaming services for road navigation, listening to music and radio or voice calls.
XAV-AX3005DB has some interesting technical highlights, such as support for the DAB / DAB + radio standard , the EXTRA BASS function and the ability to play FLAC files . The EXTRA BASS function is missing on the XAV-AX1000 and, as mentioned, the screen is slightly smaller.
Radio Directory App FM-World Radio Launches to Help Owners Promote Their Internet Radio
Radio is an ancient medium , on this there are no discussions. And as such, in the perspective of constant progress, it should be dead and buried by what came later. Instead, never as in recent years has proved a channel of communication alive and effective . Surely more than the “younger sister”, the generalist TV that has represented its evolution and that should have relegated the radio into oblivion.
The faithful followers and fans are not lacking and certainly if the best passes the TV now undermined by the streaming . Those who love to listen to the radio nowadays, however, must often rely on a special device, when it is far from the car, because the new technologies in smartphones and tablets rarely include support for FM radio .
If you want to use your phone, however, there are several alternative solutions : you can download podcasts of your favorite broadcast or visit the website of the broadcaster and listen to live. Both these possibilities, however, have obvious limitations, unlike apps like FM-World Radio .
The app turns your smartphone / tablet into a real digital radio
The application is available for free for Android, iOS and Windows Phone , it does not contain advertising , and allows you to listen not all, but many FM stations using the data connection in 4G or via Wi-Fi (the developer promises a low consumption of data ). The stations available according to geolocation are organized in a simple grid with logos or can be searched by frequency for each region and province.
During listening, in some cases the name of the current program or musician and title of the song being played is also shown , depending on the compatibility with the broadcaster. The various channels can be saved as favorites and in this case they are positioned at the top of the list to be always at hand.
The most curious can also explore the frequencies assigned to a given station for each location in which it is present. A function that will come back to those who are used to falling asleep with the radio in their ears is the auto – switch off , programmable even if unfortunately only with pre – established intervals of 1, 10 and 15 minutes .
The application in general has a simple and intuitive interface and contains, in addition to the settings – really reduced to the bone – a section with news from the radio world. Listening can also be done via a speaker connected in Bluetooth or by connecting to the car radio with AirPlay , in any case continuous playback in the background while using other applications. Finally, if you notice the absence of a radio station, you can report to the development team using the integrated function directly in the app.

XiaoKoa Podcasting Microphone for Beginners
XiaoKoa Podcasting Microphone for Beginners
Without a doubt an economic microphone but of a certain level, just to not use those of the cameras or headphones with the inevitable noise and background noise.
The tripod has the elastic suspenders to avoid the classic table noises.
The microphone / headphone splitter cable is also very convenient.
I would say that to start is more than good, then if one makes a profession can switch to higher-end products but definitely to other pieces.
Purchased at the request of a nephew to complete his animator equipment, and used so far for the 18th celebrated with friends, but all are enthusiastic about the performance and ease of use. Compatible with all the different types of laptops and devices used by various friends, while I have been ordered another, this time from the family girls, who are delighted to publish videos on Youtube, and have found the convenience of use, they have me explained that the elastic suspensions are particularly useful etc .. In short, all satisfied with the purchase and surely others will follow
Practical, light and functional. great gadget with professional appearance in small at least in appearance. Nice because it can be connected to different mobile devices. The materials seem to be of fair quality and the quality is in line with the price for this I am absolutely satisfied with my purchase and I can not wait to play a bit in the evening when I return from work.
Absolutely recommended
I was not convinced of the quality for the price I had spent, but I have to say that it deserves a 5-star rating.
It works very well, the sound is clean and feels pretty good even at a distance of 1-2 meters. Surely 100% better than a microphone built into a laptop.
Nice idea to keep the microphone with the rubber bands in this way the piece that keeps the microphone can not be broken.

The Music Industry Has A New Way of Finding New Talents and It’s Not Another X Factor
Updated: Now this is getting interesting, Tik Tok has just purchased Musically
If you have an active life on social networks and you are looking for a talent show that can show the world your musical talent , Facebook could soon meet you.
Apparently a researcher has discovered in the app of the blue social copious traces of an ‘ interface for a new function of singing competition : you can choose from a list of famous songs and record their own version.
The name would be "Talent Show" – but it is not said that it will not be renamed before the launch – and provides the opportunity to record their performances and send them as in a hearing .
The researcher has defined it as a cross between " musical.ly " and "15 million celebrities" (the show shown in the second episode of the first season of the Black Mirror series).
It seems that this is one of the results of recent partnerships signed by Facebook with the music industry majors and some independent labels .
According to the researcher, in fact, the new function would benefit (as well as Instragram Music) of the new rights management system that allows labels to approve the traces that can be used on the social network.
Apple Music Versus Spotify, The Winner is Clear!
It is not easy to choose an app for streaming music these days . Usually, subscription prices are the same, the music available does not vary much and apparently the services resemble each other.
But there are some important differences that define what the app is right for you.
Spotify and Apple Music are currently the two largest platforms available for music streaming. Here are the basic differences to know when you have to choose the platform that best suits your rhythm:
Subscriptions: Spotify offers a free version of its app while Apple Music is only available with subscription, after three months of free trial.
For the purposes of this article, we will compare the paid version of Spotify with Apple Music.
Apple Music first requires you to select the music genres and artists you like.
Once you’ve made your selection, Apple Music starts recommending playlists and musicians you think you might like. Spotify does not have this kind of function but learns, over time, from your listening habits. Both apps allow you to ‘like’ on a song, knowing that you’d like to hear more songs like your favorite ones.
Simply Spotify does a better job than Apple Music when you recommend something . Every Monday you receive a new ‘Discover Weekly’ playlist – 30 songs similar to the music you’ve listened to in the past, chosen using an algorithm. Spotify also has an entire ‘Discover’ page that gives advice based on the musicians you often listen to.
The two navigation bars are quite similar – they are the bases in which to find new music, playlists, videos and concerts.
Spotify presents you some ‘Daily Mix’ playlists made up of songs and musicians that you already know and that you listen to often. Usually, they are grouped by gender.
In addition Spotify takes the musicians that you have listened to a lot and recommends similar ones (as seen from the image on the right).
Spotify’s ‘Discover Weekly’ is one of its best features.
Discover Weekly, a playlist of 30 songs that updates every Monday, is one of the best parts of Spotify . It makes you know songs and musicians that you probably have not listened to yet based on your previous ratings and that you’ll probably love as well. It is a consistent and reliable way to discover music that you will like and probably every week you will end up waiting for the new version.
The Release Radar, in the image on the left, is a playlist that is updated with the music recently published by the musicians you listen to.
Apple Music gives advice and promotes musicians similar to those you already listen to , but it is not as exhaustive as the various ways in which Spotify offers you new music. Spotify clearly wins in this discipline.
But Apple beats Spotify in another field – the user interface.
When ‘saving’ songs, both in Spotify and in Apple Music, it means that you can access them later without having to search again on the artist page. Both services also provide you with the ability to download the music you have saved in your library.
But once you really go to the musician’s page, things change dramatically. The page of the musician in the Apple Music library is clean and simple to navigate – each album is shown separately with its own graphics, allowing you to quickly select the album to listen to.
Spotify, on the other hand, simply throws all the saved songs of a certain musician into a sort of playlist , without understanding when an album starts or ends. You can easily go to the musician’s online page (not in your library), where the layout is quite similar to that of Apple Music but this requires an internet connection and frustrates the saving of music in your library and above all the opportunity to download it.
Spotify wins in the quality of the audio options.
You can set an equalizer for both apps, but the one in Spotify is easier to find and, in addition to the preset equalizations, allows you to customize the actual frequency response curve. Apple’s equalization is outside the app, in the phone’s music settings, forcing you to exit the app to adjust it.
Spotify allows you to choose exactly the type of audio quality you want, both when you are streaming and when you are downloading.
With Spotify you can choose whether to download (which affects memory) or listen to streaming (thus affecting data roaming) music in low or high quality , with some intermediate settings; allowing you to decide if you prefer to have better listening quality or more space on your phone.
Apple automatically gives you music in the highest quality when connected to wifi , but you can also allow high quality streaming with data roaming. However, you can not check the details of the sound quality or file size.
Both apps have a radio, but in this case Apple wins.
If you use Spotify, you can safely ignore the radio function. You can choose between radios that are based on a musician, genre or song, but you’d probably be much better off making a playlist or using the ‘discover’ features, as Spotify’s radio tends to repeat itself if you listen to it for long or not. it offers you nothing really new.
Apple Music, however, has the same style of radio Spotify (based on musician, song or genre), as well as some radio stations with real DJs who choose and put the pieces, adding a personal and human element to the Apple radio that is absent in that of Spotify.
Spotify has podcasts integrated into the app.
The selection is not as extensive as that of Apple’s independent podcasting app, but you do not have to leave Spotify to listen to podcasts. You can add them to a playlist, or save them in your library along with the music.
Both apps have video sections – but nothing transcendental.
Spotify has some music videos and episodic content, but nothing very exciting. In this case, depending on the content available, the victory goes to Apple Music, but in both apps there is still no real reason to use the video bar.
The two apps have top charts, but Spotify is a little more detailed
The Spotify top chart allows you to search by country or globally, and also shows you the 50 ‘viral’. Apple Music has a single top chart, but lets you search by genre – no feature in Spotify.
Spotify is more social than Apple.
Both apps show you what your friends recently listened to and the playlists they posted. But Spotify lets you see in real time what your friends are listening to . On the desktop version of Spotify, the social bar on the right side shows you what all your friends are listening to or have listened to recently.
This feature can be turned off temporarily or permanently if you do not feel particularly inclined to share the embarrassing song you are listening to at full volume with others.
Regarding the interface of music reproduction, the two app are very similar.
But Spotify has more features – like moving drawings or Gif animation for some songs.
Spotify even has some ‘behind the text’ lyrics of Genius integrated into some songs.
Spotify will show you upcoming concerts nearby based on your listening habits.
Apple Music does not have this feature in the app but can be integrated into the Bandsintown app, which will determine your tastes directly from your Apple Music library.
If you really want your potential Tinder contact to know your musical tastes, the app includes Spotify integration
Tinder along with other apps like Bumble and Discord, includes a Spotify integration , allowing you to show off the recently listened artists on your app profiles by appointment and choose an anthem that best represents you.
From time to time, Apple Music has exclusive albums.
Although Apple and other streaming services are renouncing the exclusives on the albums , these sprout from time to time. The 2016 album by Drake ‘Views from the 6’ was initially an exclusive of Apple Music before moving on to other platforms.
Spotify has collaborative playlists – along with your friends you can add songs to the same playlist
It’s a fun way to collaborate with your friends in the endless search for the perfect playlist.
So: which app is the winner?
Spotify. It has its downsides, such as a confusing library interface and a dull radio, but the positives clearly offset the negative ones . The aspect of musical discovery is enough to classify Spotify in front of Apple Music – the algorithm is very effective and you probably will not be disappointed by the proposals of the app. The other differences, such as album art and audio quality options, are negligible but add up to a better overall subscription package and a better experience than that provided by Apple Music.
Obviously this is a very competitive market and the companies constantly update their apps adding new features: therefore, check if in the meantime our verdict has not already changed.
