# NFC-Enabled Music Blocks Muse Blocks Link to Songs, Albums, Playlists & Podcasts with NFC Tech By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-11-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muse-blocks References: [digitaltrends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/senic-muse-blocks-nfc-custom-printed-music-shortcuts/) & [Museblocks](http://www.Museblocks.com) For many people, listening to music is mostly a digital-only experience but Muse Blocks connect songs, albums, playlists and even podcast content to physical acrylic glass blocks. The Blocks are slightly smaller than a CD case and use NFC technology to automatically direct compatible digital devices to a programmed location. The Blocks can be reprogrammed as desired, so long as a streaming music service supports linking. Users are able to print their Muse Blocks to fit themes like yoga, focus or mornings, making it easy to call up specific digital content to support a particular occasion, time of day, activity or a desired state of mind. These Muse Blocks not only offer a way for people to easily connect with their favorite songs and digital recordings but provide a physical touchpoint. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Physical-digital Integration:** The Muse Blocks demonstrate the trend of integrating physical and digital experiences, providing an opportunity for businesses to create innovative products that bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds. - **Personalized Digital Content:** The customization options of Muse Blocks highlight the trend of personalized digital content, presenting an opportunity for businesses to develop personalized products and services that cater to specific occasions, activities, or states of mind. - **NFC Technology:** The use of NFC technology in Muse Blocks showcases the trend of integrating NFC into consumer products, opening up possibilities for businesses to create innovative products and solutions that leverage NFC technology. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Music Streaming:** The Muse Blocks disrupt the music streaming industry by offering a tangible and personalized way to interact with music, creating opportunities for music streaming services to enhance user experiences. - **Printing & Design:** The printing and design industry can be disrupted by the demand for customized and theme-based Muse Blocks, presenting opportunities for businesses to provide printing and design services tailored to Muse Block customization. - **Smart Home & Iot:** The integration of Muse Blocks with compatible digital devices and smart home systems indicates a potential disruption in the smart home and IoT industry, allowing businesses to develop innovative solutions that combine physical and digital interactions within a smart home ecosystem. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Aftermarket Smartphone Audio Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddy-audio-device.md) - [Modular Music Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-blocks.md) - [Ai Music Module Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muse-3.md) - [Multifunctional Compact Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playdisc.md) - [Music Streaming Artwork Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/album-art-display.md) - [Modern Digital Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuneshine.md) - [Building Block Audio Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-bluetooth-speaker.md) - [Music-Playing Photo Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-frame.md) - [Cubic Wall-Mounted Light Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanoleaf-blocks.md)
