Still listening to you 8-track player in the basement? Trying to record all of your favorite songs off of the radio? Wait…are you still listening to the radio? It may be time to step up your music game by using a music service. In the first episode of the Audio series, the Brothers discuss (and discuss…) the current state of digital music, and introduce the main music service options. Oh, and Brian has a rant about how today’s youth will never know the pain (and satisfaction) of creating the perfect mixtape for the love of your life…

In addition, the “BiTS” (Brothers in Tech Suggestions):

• Brian’s Pick = Shazam: Recently purchased by Apple, this app (iOS & Android…but will be built-in to iOS 14) allows you to find out the song name and artist of music that is playing around you.
• Alan’s Pick = TuneIn: Looking for a way of streaming real-time news/sports to your phone? TuneIn (Free w/ads and limited content, $9.99/month for premium access) provides you with channels (and podcasts) to enjoy on the go.
