Spotify

Spotify is an easy way to listen to your favourite album, song or just some of the latest hits all for free. You can use Spotify for free with audio ads but if you really won't to loos the ads and get more out of your music you'll be paying $6.99 per month.

First you need to make your own account then you can search for what you feel like listening to or go on to a Spotify radio station and it will start to play all kinds of different songs.

You can make your own playlist with all the songs you like.

This is one of my playlists.

So Spotify is a very cool app, I was very shocked when I saw that you can download the songs and play them offline. You might think this is breaking copyright but it's not. 

As I have said it is free on your computer, but on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or other device you will have to buy it after 48 hours starting from when you login. (If you wont to have unlimited usage)

IOS 7

I'm excited about IOS 7, which has just been announced,  because it's going to have an improved Siri (at last) and a different looking everything! Airdrop, iTunes radio and control centre are some of the new features.

Better Siri: Siri will be upgraded with a better or more realistic voice and Siri is now a female or male voice, but I'm sure the new male voice will be called something different to Siri.

A different looking everything: As you can see Apple has changed the IOS look.

Airdrop: Airdrop is very handy if you wan't to send photos, videos and more to another iPhone user right next to you.

               





       
                           
                   



















iTunes Radio: I don't know everything about iTunes radio but it sounds cool.

Control Centre: I like the idea of control centre, because the most useful things in settings is just a swipe away, from any app.

Looks like fun to me, it comes out this US fall which is September the 22. Rumours say the iPad mini 2 will come out some time then, might even on that day!!!

In case you don't know, I'm looking to buy the iPad mini 2.

Minecraft

I've been asking my dad for Minecraft for about two years now!!! On average once a month, all he said was "I'll think about it" or "I'll talk to mum". I think one time he did talk to mum but it was always a softish No!

One month I asked "Can I send you (by email) a web link or two about Minecraft??" then he said "sure go ahed".

So I sent him five links which will give him all the information he needed to give me an answer. Later that afternoon I asker him if he had looked at the links, he replied "Not yet" so a gave him a day. The next afternoon I asked the same question he said "Yes but on two conditions"..................I nearly fell over! I asked if he was joking but he wasn't. So now I've been playing Minecraft when mum lets me. I'm still getting use to it so I can't say if it's as good as I hoped yet.

Here are the links, in case you want to look at them:
