Ok, so.... I guess my company got sick and tired of having bandwidth eaten up by what must be thousands of people having YouTube open with a playlist rolling on. In the past, they have told people to get off of YouTube, to restrict its use etc.... But have fallen short of blocking the site outright. None of it is skin off my taint, because my iPod complete with MY favorite songs is always at my fingertips.
Instead, they developed their own internal music streaming service, free to employees to listen to at their desks . I guess the idea is neat and cheap enough to implement, especially considering cost savings if everyone uses it. The service has multiple genres too.
Of course, I'm curious to see what they have on there, as it would all need to be fairly vanilla so as not to offend anyone is imagine. Also, I'm not sure how royalties and the like work in this respect, but I'd imagine the songs would be limited. Anyway, I'm curious.
So I give it a listen.
Terrible. All of it, simply terrible. Every station, be it pop, rock, country, jazz, or urban/rap, is just awful. It is seriously like they asked quagmire02 to come in and hand pick every single dreadful song. Everything is just a disaster. I'm not even talking about normal songs that have been edited and censored to shit. Its that every song is made by some no name artist that was forced to sing some soulless melody over a manufactured beat while getting stabbed in the gut.
Needless to say.....PASS! Nice gesture, but no.
In other news, I enjoy ghostface killah entirely too much.

the internal service still uses bandwidth, right? ...or is it pulled off of an internal hard drive, where it goes over the network, but not pulled from the internet?
or is the point just to use something that isn't Flash-driven, so that the company's internet streaming is more efficient than YouTube? 5/2/2013 2:16:19 PM |
