Me on CDR on mobile music
This is the first of a series of posts as a regular round up of mobile music news over at CDR, which is a great site doing excellent work. CDR Knowledge has run two mobile events as well, one in London which I was lucky enough to be at and one in Berlin which I couldn't make.
I'm hoping there will be more too. Anyway, I plan to write regular updates for CDR on the mobile world, and when I do, I'll let you know.

How about if you could check this stuff out at the library!
Talk about mobile music tools going mainstream, in Ann Arbor district you could. Think Bliptronic, Thingamagoop, etc. What a superb idea for a library. I wish I could check out stuff like that from my local, although I'd struggle to give it back of course.

Help out Rob with his Nebulophone
I posted this a few days ago, but if you can help Rob with his nebulophone issues that would be great. Here's what he has to say:
I'm trying to sync my Nebulophone's arpeggio with a flashing IR led. When I put the Nebulophone into "follow" mode (0:35), it should lock on to the speed of the flashing IR led but it doesn't seem to ever respond to the incoming IR. I've tried IR leds, remote control LEDs and IR blasters but never get a response.
If you have a Nebulophone, can you tell me what yours does in Arpeggio "follow" mode? As you can see, mine just goes to a solid green LED when switching to "follow" and turning the Arpeggio knob (1:09) just does weird things!
I also tried recording a sequence in "lead" mode and then put it into "follow" mode - no joy.
