Just the right song for the moment
Simply spin the front dial for the next song or if you feel like a different genre or even type of content, then just give it a big spin and the journey starts over. Oh, and everything you do will be overlay with context to curate the music even better over time.
“Cone is one of the most beautiful pieces of technology to come across my desk in years.”
