Sharing in the Groove

An iPod is as essential to a college student’s tool belt as the Batcable is to Gotham’s Dark Knight. Whether it is walking to class, running on the treadmill, or even sneaking in a listen on your concealed headphones just to pass time in class more pleasantly, the iPod is a constant companion throughout the typical day. For this reason, we all naturally would love to pimp our iPods and customize them with the best music at all times. An ingenious new gadget has been devised for the sole purpose of improving your iPod entertainment experience.

The miShare (https://www.mishare.com/) is bringing iPods together in a simple, new way that is uniting the music listening community one playlist at a time. Nothing is quite as frustrating as trying to figure out how to give and receive songs from friends’ iPods since it usually involves external hard drives, USB ports, wires, some ice cubes, a nine iron, and a buffalo, live or stuffed, preferably stuffed for safety’s sake. Billy Madison references aside, the miShare really is a breakthrough device as it allows users to connect their iPods with a small linking mechanism and exchange music at just the press of a button.

All types of media including music, photos, movies and podcasts can be transferred between iPods through the use of miShare. The only drawback that I can find is that the miShare cannot recognize iPhones or the iPod Touch, however that is expected to be an add-on once the software is updated.

The miShare is a godsend for the busy student who doesn’t have time to waste trying to decode the matrix and share files through the conventional methods that Apple suggests. For just $100, you can purchase the miShare and stay on top of your music and keep your playlists fresh and ready to act as the soundtrack for your life at school.
