Tech: Saregama’s new Carvaan will make we tumble in adore with radio sets all over again

There’s an fundamental clarity of intrigue (and excitement) that a radio set evokes even in a age of live streaming, podcast and intelligent watches. And, this was abundantly demonstrated when we systematic for Saregama’s newly launched Carvaan, a radio cum song player, to a office. Compact, cutesy and portable, it done rounds to roughly any table.

The cream phony digital actor – also accessible in electric blue – comes preloaded with 5,000 golden classics. Divided into categories like artistes (Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Gulzar, and Kalyanji Anandji, among others) mood (sad, happy, ghazal) and Ameen Sayani’s Geetmala, it also has a choice to balance into FM. The good partial is we can also suffer your personal collection of songs by plugging in a USB expostulate or streaming songs from your phone to a Carvaan around Bluetooth. The operation of songs is exhaustive. Some we could sound along, rest were a revelation. Also, we can name any difficulty by branch a jog-dial. So, with a spin of a knob, we can switch between Manna Dey classics to soulful Sufi marks – all in their strange versions. There are no ads to kill a moment. A bummer, however, is that there’s no postponement button. You have directly switch it off.

What also works in foster of a radio is the neat appearance, and the plume weight. However, what is somewhat disconcerting is the price, R5990, that we consider is a bit steep. However, if one is peaceful to disencumber purse strings, it can be a inestimable present squeeze for somebody who trips on retro music.
