DIY happy has a fun how-to on making a ski cap with headphones in it. Sam writes “Burton sells a really cool cap with integrated headphones for listening to music while participating in winter sports. These hats are well made, but they cost around $40. That’s why Digital Cameron and I set out to make […]
Konami is developing a music player that will be much like a tamagotchi, but live off your music collection. I think this will be a trend we see on a lot of devices soon, you’ll feed them with your data, playlists, etc. to keep them going and coming back. I really wish Apple would open […]

Shane writes “I am looking for a high capacity MP3 player and the commercial reviewers all recommend either the Apple iPod or the Toshiba Gigabeat. Both have DRM and usability issues I don’t want. I want an MP3 player that allows me the freedom to use my music as I want without having to convert formats or limit me to only playing my music on one device. I curently have a NetMD player which works wonderfully but it is getting more and more difficult to efficiently copy podcasts and non standard albums (like santastic) to mini disc without burning real or virtual CDs.” My picks are: The PEZ MP3 player, the Linux based Archos PMA 400 (I also use the iPod 5G, just don’t do DRM, it’s possible). Post your suggestions in the comments!
