I bet a lot of people will not give this product any credit and call it a waste of money. They are wrong. Although the $300 entry point is steep, I have a lot of faith that this will be the one of the first products to do what will be one of the next major feature revolutions in DAP’s. I have long thought a product like this is needed. Imagine: a DAP that automatically mixes your music together and automatically creates DJ style fades, I’m not talking about iTunes-esque cross fading, I’m talking real beat matching. The technology should be adapted for portable devices from programs like Ableton Live. Live can take virtually any two audio files and match the tempo/bpm with user control, but it can be automated also. This product takes the general idea a step further with the accelerometer. Awesome stuff.
But there are currently over 70 FREE nonstop, fixed-BPM, professionally beatmatched workout music mixes available from the iTunes #2 music podcast Podrunner. And you can listen to 'em on *any* mp3 player. Get 'em on iTunes or from http://wwww.djsteveboy.com/podrunner.html. Enjoy!
