Music at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES)

Last week was insane, with CES 2006 taking place, etc.  As you may have been able to tell, I spent more time reading about newly launched music services and hardware than I did writing about it.  So be it.

Seamless mobility was the big theme.  Spring VCast, MSpot, Vodafone Radio DJ, Motorola iRadio, Amp’d, and Verizon all launched or discussed launching some kind of mobile music service, whether just a download store, a subscription service, or other variation.  Yahoo and Google seemed to expand their media management software capabilities as well.

PaidContent, Engadget, Gizmodo, and many other blogs have CES 2006 wrap-ups currently available for viewing.  I’d highly recommend checking one of them out to get a feel for what’s flown in from the horizon.

Then again, maybe it’d be more productive to pop in a favorite CD, or write a few lyrics to a new song…
