Everything is built for “on the go” these days. In the morning we can grab a breakfast and a coffee on our way to work, we can do our banking while we rush back to the office after lunch break, and even finding a date can be accomplished with the swipe of a finger while you wait for your laundry to dry. That’s because our days are jam packed, and everyone is trying to maintain that sacred work-life balance. Simultaneously, our music is becoming more portable and personalized. With your entire iTunes and Spotify libraries only ever a click awayRead more
