Pins have always been inextricably linked to the world of independent music: all bands produce and sell these items at concerts, and the jackets of the true indies and punks are often covered with …
This is the point of departure for a new way to distribute and promote music. The company Parte LLC created Playbutton, a simple and functional device, that is, in fact, one of these pins, but with features and functionality for basic music playback. In practice, aesthetically is a pin with the classic customizable face (maybe with the album cover). Inside there is a memory that, as for the traditional music albums, contains pre-recorded tracks that can not be modified or downloaded. On the back there are the essential tools for songs playback: play, pause, skip and volume control. All powered by a rechargeable lithium battery. Playbutton: a creative alternative to the normal music albums on CD-ROM, available from November 2010.
