While it’s true that in a USB memory stick you will not put all your music (it’ s not like a 160 GB Ipod), it’s also true that while you drive it’s better to have your full attention to the road and not to the browse of a long list of items searching for what you want to listen.

Because of this, the idea behind CarCast is to organize your content in a proper way while you are connected to the Internet in front of your computer, and listen with great ease while you drive.

Nowadays (July 2008) CarCast can be configured to work in three different ways:

• FLAT: everything goes inside the MyAudio folder of the USB memory stick
• FOLDER: you define the different folders inside MyAudio where you want to put the files, so that you can easily find them
• PLAYLIST: organize the music and audio in different playlists to play in your car

Go to SETTING and configure CarCast to work according to your personal taste and the working of your car radio.
For the next weeks we are planning to further improve the playlist management on CarCast with new functions as sorting and easy publishing.

You can find on the Internet a lot web 2.0 “stuff”: with rounded and gommose shapes they will offer you experiences up to a couple of years ago unimaginable. Yes you may even edit images or compile spreadsheets shared with other users, but all this technology still has a limit: the browser, without which these applications do nothing.
The synchronization system on the USB memory stick of CarCast wants to make a small revolution: the browser is only needed to set what we want to have in it, all the rest is done by the USB memory stick itself. And there’s more: synchronization becomes “nomadic”, you just need a(ny) computer connected to the network and nothing more, the USB memory stick thinks the rest.
The software will synchronize the contents of USB memory stick WHATEVER platform you will use: you can synchronize easily on Mac at home, but also on Windows at office and on your geek friend’s Linux in a few clicks.
And then on, traveling by car in the company of your preferred contents!

One of the things that often comes out in speeches is how much of our lifetime we spend on the car for work, to go shopping…
Hours and hours most often lost: how many times, immersed in traffic we wanted to hear this or that program on the radio, only that’s not available in the moment you drive, once we get home or to office, we no longer have the time or the will to listen and therefore we give it up as “lost”…

Now things are about to change!

Thanks to CarCast with any USB memory stick, an Internet connection and a USB in our car, we can always keep us updated and listen to our favourite programmes: just select online the content that we are concerned and, each time inserting our memory stick in any computer connected to the Internet, it will update with new content always ready to be heard while on the car between a traffic light and a jam!
