Afternoon Links
- Lajo iPodArt silicone skins are on sale right now for $19.50 and include a free TwistClip or iShade. Some of his designs are unique and quite nice.
- General Motors have announced that they'll start to implement aux in capabilities in their corporate stereos systems in cars starting for the 2006 model year. I'm glad to see this happening (it's about time), but I don't think GM should expect a pat on the back for it. It's not like it's the most difficult or expensive part of car making.
- PyMusique, originally designed to allow Linux users to access the iTunes Music Store, also has the notable ability to bypass the FairPlay DRM schema and allow the user to purchase music tracks sans the DRM. This story surfaced on Friday, so I'd be surprised if Apple hasn't already put a stop to these shenanigans. I remember reading a while ago that the front end of the iTMS was a fairly simple XML interface that uses standard http.
- Best music promotional item yet: Sexohol, a band whom I've never heard of, has released their new album on an iPod shuffle. What a great way to garner some attention and airplay. Hell, if somebody gave me an iPod with that new U2 album on it I'd even give it a listen. Via iPodlounge
