Syne

Recently encountered this upcoming Syne project, a 12" x 15" display that connects with your Spotify account to show what is currently playing. The pitch is that it's kind of like a vinyl record cover but it's powered by your streaming choices.

All told, not a bad idea! Giving a bit more real world presence to streaming music would be nice - especially in a public space. That said, there are a lot of questions to be answered that hopefully the early March 1st launch will answer. Does the "Syne" logo have to be visible at all times? What happens to it when I'm not listening to music? What's the price?

That last one is a real clincher. If it's even vaguely expensive, it's going to be tough to convince folks this is worth purchasing. I'm curious to find out how it all goes.
