# Shakeable Music Players The TicToc from Samsung is Shake Powered By Michael Hines | Published 2010-02-11 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tictoc-from-samsung References: [streetlevel](http://www.streetlevel.com/2010/02/09/samsung-tictoc-pmp-player/) & [samsung](http://www.samsung.com/us/) The TicToc from [Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-sound-tower) will change the way you treat your MP3 player forever. Normally we are supposed to coddle our music listening devices to keep them safe and in working order. The TicToc is different. The TicToc from Samsung has only two buttons, for volume and power. Changing songs, pausing, rewinding, is all shake powered. This is definitely an interesting concept. Hopefully the rapid shaking wont break the TicToc or cause it to go flying across the room. Way to shake up the music biz, Samsung. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Shake-powered Technology:** The shake-powered technology used in the TicToc music player presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the consumer electronics industry. - **Simplified User Interface:** The minimalist design of the TicToc with just two buttons could inspire disruptive innovation in user interface design across various industries. - **Redefining Music Listening Experience:** The TicToc's unique approach to changing songs and controlling music playback through shaking opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the music industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** The shake-powered technology in the TicToc music player offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in the consumer electronics industry. - **User Interface Design:** The simplified user interface of the TicToc music player could drive disruptive innovation in user-centered design across various industries. - **Music:** The TicToc's unconventional method of controlling music playback has the potential to disrupt the music industry's traditional ways of interacting with music players. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modernized Portable Music Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tl1-music-player.md) - [Multifunctional Compact Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playdisc.md) - [Active Portable Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astellkern.md) - [Music-Driven Pleasure Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/groove-thing.md) - [Audio-Enhancing Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-walkman-nwa306.md) - [Cassette-Inspired Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-audio-player.md) - [Colorful Portable Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-players-1.md) - [Retro Smartphone Music Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-music-player.md) - [Compact Cassette-Inspired Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowsky-retro.md)
