Sound #26

I enjoyed surfing all the new music networking websites online. Jam Studio looks like a cool site and I like the free trial. This will be a site I want to play around with a lot more. I have a friend who plays guitar with a group so I shared the website for Jam Studio with him.

I did not find my favorite artists on playlist, but I did on Imeem and Mog. I wasn't impressed with Ebo because I only seemed to pull up ads on their site. Phling makes you join before even being able to use their search engine.

I created a Mog account. There are so many features on the site that my page on Mog is going to be a work-in-progress.

I found it very easy to burn a CD. I have a new computer at home that has more capacity than I thought I needed at the time I purchased it. I am so glad I included all that was available at the time I got it.

I still use CD's but I understand DVD's have much more capacity than CD's.

I like the idea of buying single songs online and downloading them to MP3’s or CD’s. I don’t buy a particular artist entire CD. We used to be able to buy 45 rpm records with single selections. I like the choices and convenience we now have.

Musicians may earn more with stricter copyrights and with the sales of albums/CD's but not from me. The songs don’t have to be free, but 0.99 is a great deal.

I was unable to search for selections at Napster without joining. iTunes and Rhapsody, however, allowed searches for my favs. I found my favorite artists on both of those sites. I did not find my favs on music.download.com or Yahoo. iTunes seems to allow music downloads for a per song fee without a membership fee. That is a great advantage over the other sites.

KSBJ radio is my favorite station and they have online capacity. They also have podcast and video clips. Their website shows the current song playing and who the artist is. I can select “listen live now” button to listen to the current song that is playing
