TunA and Socializing via MP3 Player

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the do-you-hear-what-i-hear dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Wired is carrying a story about a new program in development called TunA. It will allow you to view other users playlists on their MP3 Player and also stream the music to your Player. Works through WiFi so it limits to mostly laptops for now. "

    Clicking on others' avatars lets you see whatever personal information or messages they want to share with the world.

    I can hear the screams now, as I walk around with my own goatse.cx avatar on my player for all to see.

      There's also instant-message capability, the possibility to change skins and a virtual stalking feature.

      The only thing worse than a goatse.cx avatar is a goatse.cx stalker..

    I think it's a great idea to be able to see what other people in your proximity are listening too

    Until you chance upon me while I'm listening to KMFDM and you realize that there are some things you never wanted to hear. Then you spend the next hour trying to forget the experience.

    Now I don't have to strain myself trying to identify that tinny screeching sound coming from across the train.

    You know the one - too loud to ignore, but just not loud enough to work out what the damn song is.

    I get sick of hearing the buzzing of the trunk of the car with the huge fucking subwoofers that toddles down my street at the most bizzare hours of the day and night. I'm SICK of listening to other people's music. I think I'm going to stick with my walkman.

  10. caution by Lord_Dweomer · · Score: 3, Funny
    A word of caution to fellow Slashdotters who may be more tech-savvy than female-savvy.

    Do not, I repeat, DO NOT ask a woman with an mp3 player if she has TunA. Odds are you will be smacked, probably with the mp3 player too if its that time of the month.
