New Seller Focused Music Service Launches

A new online music service was announced yesterday which promises to allow music lovers to create their own digital music stores and sell their favorite music to consumers. The service, dubbed BurnLounge, is in public beta now.

BurnLounge, the company said, provides users with proprietary software and a large catalog of music from major and independent record labels, giving users the ability to create and operate their own digital music stores. Three different levels of seller services are available to provide greater ecommerce opportunities. The service also offers a community chat function which operates openly with buddies on major IM systems like AOL and Yahoo.

“We are thrilled to launch a service that enables music fans to have their own online ‘corner record store’ and promote the music they love,” said Ryan Dadd co-founder, president and COO of BurnLounge, in a statement. “BurnLounge allows a fan to have a fully-functioning download store without knowing anything about site design, credit card processing or licensing. All they need to know is what music they love and then tell their friends about it.”

“BurnLounge is a great promotional tool for artists and labels alike, providing a platform for them to compensate devoted fans for promoting music to their friends,” added Stephen Murray, co-founder, president of entertainment and CCO of BurnLounge. “We are excited to offer a new means for emerging and established artists to meaningfully connect with more fans.”

How to access your favorite music streaming services on Amazon Echo Show

amazon prime music streaming coming

You could say it’s the original use for an Amazon Echo device: Playing music hands-free. Amazon Echo has come a long way since its early days of being a simple smart home speaker: Music and audio quality have vastly improved with each iteration, and the company has added video screens to these devices, now dubbed Echo Show, making them home hubs that can play music and stream video, act as home security cameras, and even facilitate video chats. But music is still a primary feature.
What music streaming services are available on Amazon Echo Show?

Amazon has wisely agreed to play nicely with a surprising variety of music services. Naturally, they’d like it best if you use the default Amazon Music service, which with a Prime membership gives you access to millions of songs (and an upgrade to Amazon Music Unlimited basically means any and every song you want is at your fingertips). Amazon Music is a fine service, but depending on what you’re used to or which other music services you subscribed to before you got an Echo device, you may want to link to another option.

Changes are coming to C by GE, and not just a new lineup of products. The company is getting a brand-new name after integrating with Savant. Now GE Lighting is known as a Savant company. The company is making major changes, including a rebrand of all C by GE products into Cync for CES 2021.

The C by GE app will transition to the Cync app in March. This app controls more than lighting -- it allows users to control their entire home, inside and out. It also uses the patented TrueImage feature to preview changes to lighting through a picture in-app. You can know what your room will look like before you commit to changing the light color.
