iPhone Apps Changing Music

After reading the intro to Convergence Culture, I'm not sure yet what his argument about technology is, if he even has one. So far he just seems to state what is going on with technology and defines several terms that he will use throughout the book. One of the things that he said which stuck out to me was about how old media never dies but instead is just reinvented. I think this is very true and that people are always trying to outdo and advance the technology we have, which can be both good and bad. The iPhone is an example of how music can drastically be changed. A new app created by the artist Deadmau5 allows anyone who buys the app to be able mix and remix their favorite song by the artist by cutting parts out of songs, fading in, applying delays, and much more. The look of the app reminds me a lot of audacity with the tracks showing and how you can do a lot of precise editing. After reading the reviews of it on my iPhone, almost everyone loved it and the only complaint they had was that they wanted more songs to edit. I think this shows how music and technology is constantly evolving and how everyday people are able to get involved in the process. You can read an article about this app here!
