The Electric Jukebox is an on-demand music service offered exclusively in the UK with a catalog of several million tracks, 29 to be precise. What differentiates it from other music streaming platforms like Spotify or Google Music is that it works not on internet and mobile, but using a kind of key to plug directly into the HDMI port of the TV screen and to connect with Wi-Fi.
Music search, playback mode and choice of audio output (compatible sound bar, home cinema, AV system, hifi) ... all functions can be controlled using a wireless control box, but also By gestural or vocal control, since the Electric Jukebox is equipped with a motion sensor and a microphone.
A little new in the wake of Spotify?
The concept was introduced in 2015 and gained the support of British stars like Robbie Williams, Stephen Fry, Alesha Dixon and Sheryl Crow because the plug-play system on TV and its simplified interface Neon Broadway promised to reach everyone , Including elderly people who might want to listen to music at home, in family, but are not necessarily comfortable with internet search and endless lists of mobile interfaces.
However, twelve months have elapsed and the design company has remained very silent about the development of Electric Jukebox until Tuesday, November 8, with the announcement of the product put on sale from midnight for £ 169 on Amazon, Argos and Selfridges. This price includes the gadget and a free subscription of one year from the date of purchase, after which the user will be able to subscribe to £ 52 (£ 1 / week).
In other words, less than half of the Spotify, Apple Music and Google Music rates.
