#26 Making Music

I have looked at some of the music sites, facebook and friedster could not be viewed without setting up an account. I did look into MOG, which offered a few different items such as: browse moggers, top post w/songs, top post w/music videos, and daily picks. I also checked out Phling where you can stream your music from your pc to your phone, share music w/friends and listen to their music, find out who is listening to what, etc. I found both of those sites to be of interested to younger people. The site that did catch my interest was project Playlist. What really attracted me the most to the site was the fact that you could actually add a song from your playlist to your blog. I am going to try that at a later date when I have more time. I did enjoy creating a playlist of songs, in fact I have created a list of songs that are some of my husband and my songs and I have emailed them to him.

This excersise for me has been fantastic, because I love music and did not know that all of these different sites where available. Thank you a bunch!!!

#25 Music Pirate

Yes, I have to confess I have burned music a few times before, but have always been concerned about whether or not it was legal. This exersise has helped by letting me know about legal sites and explanation of the laws. I will now have some comfort when burning music, a big thank you!

I am sort of torned about whether musicans benefit more from strict copy right protection or from open sharing. I think on one hand it helps them to get their music out to a wide range of people, but on the other hand they may not get as many people buying their music when they can listen to it free or burn it to a CD.

#24 The Sound of Music

First of all let me begin by saying "It's GREAT to be back"!!! After looking at the different pay sites I found them all to be very similar in features, but found Yahoo to be more user friendly. With the help of my grand -daughter (who is only 8 yrs. old) I was able to download a song to her MP3 player, she loves Taylor Swift! I was really amazed to find out that you can actually listen live to one of your favorite radio stations via my computer. One of my favorite stations just so happens to be KILT 100.3 and it was very easy just clicking on the "Listen Live" and WOW there it was. Some of the other stations I had some difficulty with, such as KRBE and KUHF.
