3play is a Bluetooth audio dongle that begs to be misused
We think it's fair to say that Grace Digital has a colorful catalog of products. Everything it makes seems to have a quirk or a twist that, at the very least, stops us ever getting bored hearing about them. The 3play Bluetooth audio receiver is a fine example, and something we'd categorize under "widget" (that's a compliment by the way). What does it do? Well, if you go by the marketing material, it "connects up to three devices to your stereo," it'll also turn any HiFi or portable speaker into a Bluetooth capable one. The selling point here is that up to three different devices can connect to the 3play at any one time (it remembers up to seven) so you and two friends can play tunes from your own phones, without having to pause, disconnect, reconnect and, basically, kill the party vibe cold. But there's more than that on offer here.
Workaround found for three-play rule on Zune
Finding yourself unhealthily frustrated by that annoying "three-play rule" still included in the latest firmware update for the Zune? Fret not, as a solution easier than easy has been discovered. Apparently, users can simply accept a shared track, go into Windows and switch the genre to "Podcast," and play the tune over as many times as they'd like. Granted, any files which this trick is used for will show up in the Podcast section, but hey, you can't get everything, right?[Thanks, Michael, image courtesy of Zune]
