Music is a big part of many people’s lives. Music is the soundtrack to our lives and certain songs and albums bring you back to special events in our lives or helps you through difficult times like heartbreak and the passing of a loved one. So it makes sense that streaming services like Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, Tidal, etc. are so popular. The idea that you can listen to an endless stream of music for free or for a set monthly fee, what a concept. But there’s one problem, what if the artist or album you want to listen to isn’t available on that streaming service or any streaming service for that matter?

Many popular musicians, like Adele, Garth Brooks, Prince, Taylor Swift, and many others either at one time or are currently not available on all or some of the main streaming services. That’s not to mention some of the more niche genre specific artists that may not have as big a following, but have millions of fans nonetheless who also actively choose not to have their music played on streaming services for one reason or another. The only option is to purchase their music, either as a digital download or a physical copy on CD, vinyl, or even tape. What do you do now, you still want to be mobile with your music, so where can you store these songs and not fill up the memory on your phone or tablet?

The answer is the iXflash! The iXflash can be your traveling media library where you can store tons of music that you can plug into your iPhone or iPad and listen to anytime, with or without wi-fi access. You’ll never have to worry about what format your music is save in because the iXflash App plays virtually all music formats from MP3 to WAV to FLAC and much more. Plus, you can listen to complete albums or switch it up and create your own playlists. You can even store podcasts and other audio files that take up so much space on your iPhone or iPad. With the iXflash, you never have to worry whether you have enough space or memory, because you can plug it in and instantly add up to 512GB* of added storage. Don’t be held back by the limitations of the memory on your device, expand your horizons and experience the difference the iXflash can offer you.

So much of our lives revolve around digital content. Many people now keep a majority of their pictures, movies, music, games, finances, work files, and so much more stored as digital files, typically all in a single location like a computer or in cloud storage. The problem with that is, if anything ever happened to that item or cloud service where all these items are stored, then you could have your entire inventory of content wiped out in the blink of an eye. I’m not here to promote doom and gloom, and the odds may be low, but it’s incredibly easy to make a simple backup of all these files that would give you piece of mind and the security to protect your most important digital content. It could be as simple and keep 2 external hard drives that are synced frequently and kept in two completely different locations.

By implementing a secure redundancy of all your important digital files, it provides a safe guard that could mean the difference between losing everything and having piece of mind. Just by merely storing those important files on multiple external hard drives or optical discs and keeping the backups in a different location would drastically decrease the chances you will have a catastrophic loss.

Vinpower provides all the tools needed to easily and successfully backup all your digital content on to physical media and keep them safe and secure for decades to come.

A recent article I read, “How Many Photos Will be Taken in 2022?”, By Susan Enfield discussed our obsession with taking pictures and the trajectory of how those pictures are taken, stored, and what it means. Everyone that has a smartphone knows that its primary function is to take pictures. At least that’s been my experience. The problem is, people take tons of pictures, with higher resolutions and therefore larger file sizes, and never take them off their smartphones. Sure, some people use some form of cloud service to back them up, but even that’s a small minority of the overall population. In reality, the images typically sit on the phone until someone either deletes them or you buy a phone with more memory and transfer the images there. Most of those people would love to have an easy hassle free method to transfer those images to keep them safe outside their phones, but aren’t aware of a method how.

Well, Vinpower has the answer. The iXflash Cube is the simple way to backup all the photos and videos from an iPhone or iPad without pushing a single button. The iXflash Cube connects to an iPhone/iPad’s existing charging cube and cable and from there, after downloading the iXflash Cube App and the initial setup, every time you connect your iPhone or iPad to that charger, the iXflash Cube will automatically begin the backup process. All the images stored on that iPhone will be backed up onto the drive in its original state with its existing file name, format, date stamp, location, etc. Additionally, the iXflash Cube can also backup the images and videos stored in your iCloud for additional protection.

Not sure you need the iXflash Cube, here are some interesting anticipated stats for 2022 from the above mentioned article:
• More than 90% of all pictures/videos taken will be through a smartphone
• Nearly 9 trillion unique digital photos will be taken
• That equates to about 188 pictures per year for every man, woman, and child in the world

Those numbers are sobering, but I know I take probably 188 pictures a month. That’s why I’m glad I have an iXflash Cube to backup and store those images on an external hard drive for safe keeping. Plus, I don’t have to pay monthly fees or contribute to global warming keeping my images on a server farm that uses huge magnitudes of electricity. So if you want to save money and the planet, and you take a fair amount of pictures or videos with an iPhone or iPad, the iXflash Cube is the perfect solution for you too.

Unless you’re not reading my weekly email blasts, you are probably familiar with me touting our latest product, the iXflash Cube.

That’s why we created this quick video that you can watch from the below YouTube link:

Even though there’s a false narrative that the optical disc market is dead, we still had a lot of interest at the 2022 CES for optical discs. We acknowledge that the market has decreased from its heyday in the mid 2000’s, but there is still a market and with fewer manufacturers offering quality optical discs, we seeing an uptick in demand. Because Vinpower is one of the few companies still focused and offering high quality optical discs, there was increased interest from attendees all over the globe in the media offering we showed at the CES tradeshow.

I recently heard a story from a popular tech blogger about when an operating system update went awry and nearly deleted all the content she had stored on her computer’s internal hard drive. Microsoft implemented a standard OS update to Windows 10 20H2 and is customary. We’ve all gone through it and typically it’s nothing more than us needing to wait to use the computer while the update takes place. In this case, when the person went to turn on their computer after the update, there was nothing on their desktop and they couldn’t find any of their files. In a panic, they tried multiple tricks to recover the data, mind you this is a very tech savvy person, not the average user. Finally, they were able to eventually recover the missing data, but there was the possibility, especially for someone without the technical expertise, to have lost everything.

There’s a simply solution to protect your content, keep your critical files, (or at least a backup), on a separate detached hard drive. By keeping your critical content on a hard drive that doesn’t contain your operating system and is not permanently connected to your computer and the internet, there’s no chance an external factor can corrupt the content on the drive. Plus, that separate hard drive means you can place it in a separate location, so if a catastrophic incident happens, having your important files in a separate location adds even greater protection.

As the old saying goes, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. That’s true with your digital content as well. Protect yourself and make sure you backup and keep critical files separate from your computer for maximum security.

The 2022 CES tradeshow was supposed to be a return to normalcy in a way, but the omicron variant had other plans. With numerous major companies pulling out and even some who didn’t exhibiting little more than a virtual presence with no staff and a do it yourself maze of QR codes due to COVID related concerns, CES persevered and opened its doors for the 1st time in 2 years on Wednesday, January 5, 2022. Vinpower was there to face the challenge and great those attendees that also took a chance and participating is the pinnacle for the electronics industry.

Even though there were fewer exhibitors and a limited crowd, the attendance was still full of passionate participants that all followed the guidelines and were anxious and excited to see what was on display. Vinpower, exhibiting in a new location with a new exhibition booth, was excited to show our wares to what was certain to be many new faces that had never visited or heard of us before. So even with a scaled back show, Vinpower was pleased with the enthusiastic reception and the opportunity to share our product range with a wider audience.

What the future holds for CES is anybody’s guess, but I would bet that 2023 will find a reinvigorated group of attendees and exhibitors and Vinpower will once again be amongst them.

One tradition we have at our house in December is to watch the animated and stop motion Claymation movies from the 70’s. Movies like A Charlie Brown Christmas, the Christmas Claymation movies from Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass, like “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town”, “Jack Frost”, plus so many other popular holiday classics. These movies were run frequently on regular broadcast over the air TV or “Free TV” throughout the month, however recently, a number of the pay streaming services started acquiring these classics and broadcasting them exclusively for their paid content audience. For instance, Apple TV acquired A Charlie Brown Christmas and now it cannot be shown anywhere except through Apple TV. That means if you don’t subscribe to Apple TV, because it’s too expensive, not enough programming to justify the cost, or you simply have 12 other video streaming platforms you already subscribe to and can’t justify adding another, then you can’t want this animated holiday classic.

Instead of being at the mercy of the video streaming services, instead, get these classics on DVD or Blu-ray so that you can watch them whenever and wherever you want. That’s why keeping and acquiring movies and even music on optical discs is still worthwhile, because you never can tell when something you want to watch or listen to will actually be available on the streaming services you subscribe to when you want to watch them.

With more than 15+ years exhibiting at CES, including a slight sabbatical in 2021 when CES put on an all-digital, Vinpower is ready and poised to return to an in person event and present our best showing ever at the 2022 CES tradeshow. After being a staple in the South Hall, we have made a huge jump up to exhibit in the Central Hall, along with the giants of the industry. For this we are shedding our previous exhibition images and will have a fresh new look with new products to best capture the essence of Vinpower and the Consumer Electronics Show.

We hope everyone can join us, but if you can’t, we will provide highlights and updates after the show. For those that plan to attend at least 1 of the days from January 5th – 8th, 2022, Vinpower’s booth will be located in Central Hall, booth # 15544. We look forward to seeing everyone and welcome those of you planning to attend to make an appointment to schedule a meeting with us today.
