Yes, $5 Music (@5dollarmusic) is now on Twitter. In fact, Twitter is a much better home for $5 Music because most of our posts are short and to-the-point just like Twitter. The deals we feature on the site are only valid for a few days so that fits much better with the type of content that is on Twitter. We will still continue to use this blog for long-form articles and reposting deals featured on Twitter. If you are on Twitter already please follow us so you can stay in the loop. If you are not on Twitter then what are you waiting for? Just go to Twitter.com and get yourself setup. It's easy and fun. Trust me, Twitter can be very useful if used the right way.

The iPod revolutionized the personal music experience, but the Squeezebox Duet will revolutionize how you listen to music in your home!!!
I am really blown away by this product. Last spring I took some time to wire my den and back porch with in-ceiling speakers. I had an old Onkyo A/V receiver that I installed in a closet to power the 2 rooms. My grand plan was to get this all setup for the Logitech Squeezebox Duet. I looked at the Sonos Music system but it was way out of my budget. The Logitech Squeezebox Duet was more than worth the money.
The install was a snap. It really only took a few minutes to setup. I did a little homework before I got the device and went ahead and installed the SqueezeCenter software on my computer first. So when I plugged in the hardware everything worked right away. No issues.
The interface is so slick and intuitive. Simple, efficient, and familiar to anyone that has used an iPod or any other portable MP3 player. I was amazed at how responsive the system is to the controls on the WiFi remote. Going from track to track, or album to album was instant, no lag. Really, I have used other music streaming systems before and some of them had a distinct lag in the controls. I am very happy to report that Slim Devices and Logitech got this right with the Squeezebox Duet. This is one of the few products that exceeded my expectations.

Download: "In a Silent Way" by Miles Davis for $1.98 at Amazon.com
Miles Davis is one of my all-time favorite jazz musicians. "In a Silent Way" is one of this best. It is a true late night jazz album that sounds and feels like you are in a trance with midnight all around you. It is beautiful to say the least. Enjoy!

At the MacWorld keynote speech today Apple announced some key changes to the iTunes Music Store. Most notably is that all songs will be DRM-free and encoded at 256 Kbps AAC by the end of the quarter. This is very good news for people like me that hate DRM. iTunes DRM is one of the reasons I don't buy my music from iTunes. I still prefer to see everything go DRM-Free MP3 format like AmazonMP3, but this is a good step in the right direction for Apple.
Other good news from the keynote is that iTunes is going to a tiered pricing scheme. Meaning older songs or albums will cost less than new releases. The prices will now start at 69 cents a track, then go up to 99 cents and $1.29. This seems logical and most people will welcome the price break for classic tracks/albums.
