The FretLight Video Player is a gadget that helps you to learn how to play a real guitar. As the name suggests the frets light up on your guitar guiding you through various chords.

The guitar attaches to your PC or Mac via a USB cable. Videos are included with the guitar which teach you various chords by lighting up dots on the neck of the guitar. The software allows you to repeat on an A/B process allowing you to practice the same part time and time again till you get it right. Various DVD’s are available that are compatible with the guitar that teach you essential chords, bass notes, harmonic rhythm and a bunch of others that I personally don’t understand. Maybe I need to pick one up myself and learn [click to continue…]

Yesterday we posted about an insanely expensive iPod Touch case. If $227 is too much for you to buy an iPod case then this alternative might be the better option. The VibeVault costs a lot less at $45. [click to continue…]

Wireless technology is amazing as it allows the wires to be dropped so they do not get in the way. This MP3 watch is built by Goldlantern and features Bluetooth 2.0 technology along with the headphones. What this allows you to do is pair up the watch to the headphones and then your mobile phone to the headphones. Should a call arrive while your music is playing, you are alerted and can take the call over the headphones.

This pPod Shuffle was designed for the purpose of health awareness. It was designed using Maya by Lawrence Whittemore and is just an awareness poster and not actually going to be made in to a real pPod (iPod). However, if the concept really got you excited then you can go ahead and buy a T-Shirt of the pPod over at MJR Productions.

While recently cleaning through old junk I came across a number of cassette tapes which I had in the late 80’s and 90’s before I got my first Disc Man. I actually chucked them out thinking I’d never use them again. If I would have come across this device earlier, I might have hung on to them a little longer. The Cassette To MP3 converter is a device which you put your old cassettes in and it converts them to MP3 quick and easily. It attaches to a PC with a USB cable and the device includes the software needed for conversion. The software is used for conversion and breaking up the audio stream in to separate tracks. Noise reduction settings as well as the ability to play metal/CrO2 tapes is also included. The last cool feature is the ability to use the good old high speed dubbing which means you can convert the tracks far further while listening to the music chirp away at speeds several times faster then normal.

The Cassette to MP3 Converter costs $149.95.

Over at CES (which hasn’t officially started yet) there are some cool wireless earphones from Sennheiser. They are based on Kleer’s Wireless audio technology and deliver crystal clear CD quality sound. These particular earphones will connect directly to Kleer based products. The base unit pictured above acts as the charger.

A number of head or earphones use Bluetooth technology. These are different as they actually use wireless on the 2.4GHz band. They measure 20 x 34 x 30 mm each. The charging unit also contains a battery which allows the earphones to be charged at least twice while on the road.

The MXW1’s have no price yet, but no doubt more details will flood in when CES officially opens.
