Car audio
For the last few months, our car CD player stopped recognizing most of the CDs. In the last few weeks it went to a point where it is used as a radio receiver only. With lot of good audio albums around (LoveAajKal, Magadheera, Josh, …), it is not worth listening to radio during the long drives. So the CD receiver in the car is changed after about 7 years. Given the fact that most audio tracks are being released in MP3 format now, I felt it is worth going with a USB/MP3/CD player than a plain MP3/CD player. The choice is very simple on the lower end: Sonly Xplod series. So I went to the store and got this Sony CDX-GT484US installed in our car. The previous player being a Sony one, installation is nothing but a 5 minute task. Testing and configuring the player took lot more time though.
After coming home, quickly compiled songs on one of the old 2GB pendrives and I am all set to go. The track seek times on the USB drives are a lot better than the seek times on CD (understandably, no disc rotations involved). It is a lot quieter operation too.
Audio Albums
Here are the audio albums purchased in the last few days:
- Josh (Telugu Movie Audio)
- Anjaneyulu (Telugu Movie Audio)
Yet to listen to the songs.
Love Aaj Kal Promos
The promos of the movie Love Aaj Kal is one of the best I have seen in recent times. The TV promos are good enough, given the nice music. When I checked out their website, I got a pleasant surprise. Here are the good things I like about the movie website.
- The main page features only a couple of items: A disposable paper cup representing the present (2009) and a traditional Indian tea glass representing the past (1965). Nice thinking, glove in hand with the storyline of the movie.
- The way the photos are swapped (as if you are moving them with your hand) in the stack to show your selection. Reminds me of all those tabletop prototypes.
Very sensible website indeed!
BTW, the topic of discussion between me, my wife and my daughter is the dress style of of Deepika in the Chor Bazaari song from the movie.

Billa Audio
Purchased an audio CD after a long time. May be after a couple of months. Billa, the Telugu movie. Kept my ears busy while working on some presentations. First impression – audio is good.
Apple, DRM and the hype
Anything Apple does leads to news. The new 3G Shuffle attracted lot of press over the weekend, mostly due to this magic chip number “8a83e3”. People thought it is DRM, but it is more likely a volume control tool. DRM or no-DRM, the size of the new shuffle looks interesting. Not having compatibility with 3rd party headphones seems to be a big negative.
