More Free music and Music videos

Written by Nick on November 19, 2007

Browsing around, I got to the site Artist direct.com and found many music downloads and I also got to see a lot of artwork from bands from the yesteryears (the 80’s actually). The site boasts a huge collection of old and new stuff that you can listen to online. In the freebie’s section you can get free mp3 downloads and many more fun links to make the visit a lot more enjoyable. Of course the site has paid downloads for the latest stuff but who cares. Paid is good for you can demand for the stuff you paid for. Get pirated stuff and you can’t do anything. Like many stuff on the net, music and videos have to earn their worth or cost so do sponsor these sites. Did I mention they also have some hot games and contests where you could win tons of free music stuff? Well they do, plus a whole lot more so check out the site for more information.Soundflavor.com is another new site that allows users to create playlists and share them with friends. You can also find some promo stuff and free downloads that have been approved for free downloading. They even have a tool for your Ipod that allows the creation of playlists for importing into your Personal Digital Media Player.
Many sites are popping up in hopes of capturing some share of the video and photo downloads market but it’s the big boys who still earn the big bucks. Visit all the major music companies and you get all the premier downloads and videos, for a fee of course and they prevent that stuff you just bought from being shared for your purchase has a personal use license which when transferred onto another computer or sent through the internet renders it useless.

How to download stuff that is legal(FREE)

Written by Nick on November 16, 2007

Everybody loves video and audio files that are easily available on the internet. The only problem, well, first, most of it is copyrighted meaning you have to pay in order to get it. Next, copyrighted means protected in a sense that any attempt to copy it over the internet say from the latest MTV or songs from Beyonce’s latest album is technically piracy. Piracy is defined as stealing thus not allowed. So you might be able to get away with it but at what cost.
There are options to get around this, which could be to just buy the content from the makers of the stuff you want or buy them in DVD’s, audio cd’s and the likes then rip them for uploading to your personal digital player. Or you can get that stuff out of your mind totally and turn to YouTube for some of the best free stuff on the web without the getting watchdogs onto your tail. Oh and by the way, piracy is punishable by fines and jail-time in most of the world.
Now, back to YouTube, we all know that content from the site can be downloaded for viewing on your PC. But what if, say, you wanted to download them all and convert them for uploading to your Ipod 4G or your Creative ZEN for both video and audio content? A nifty utility that allows you to convert these files you’ve downloaded into a form that can be used on your Ipod or stored for viewing later from ErightSoft.com. Get a Firefox Browser from Mozilla and you can also prepare it for use on your Ipod. MySpace has also turned into the place to get the hottest stuff for all the companies, artists and just plain people want to show everybody else just what they are made of. So you can see that there are a lot of stuff that is still free on the web if you know what and where to go and look.

MTV…..Still alive and kicking….Barely

Written by Nick on November 13, 2007

mtv_logo.jpgEver since the TV program hit the screens it became an institute on it’s own and developed it’s own culture. MTV, the television program could be seen in anywhere there was a teenager waiting for the latest fashion, music and of course, the music video that record companies spent a lot of money on in the making. They grew and grew towards the sky till, the internet came. The internet took more of the waiting sitting in front of the television set waiting for the particular MTV you were dying to see. You just searched and got what you wanted on your browser wherever you might be.

Most sites now have dedicated areas for videos, music and more all at the touch of a button or should we say keyboard. Today, MTV has shifted to a more realistic approach to the music entertainment business and has gotten onto the Reality TV show bandwagon. This has kept some appeal with the masses and gave them the much needed boost to allow them to remain in the game. Check out the site for the many stuff they have to offer along with the many downloads and free stuff. You could also get the latest news regarding the music celeb’s everybody loves. But you could watch the E! Channel on your television or just check out your local news service(who is sure to have an entertainment section/page for sure) which can be more up to date.

In fairness to MTV, they have had a generation of two who loved and benefited from the sub-culture they created. People who wanted to know how their famous music idols looked like and wanted do the same, they stayed faithful to the show. But the internet became a cheaper and faster way of spreading the news, music and mtv’s. For media giants, maintaining just one site rather than have to worry about broadcasting the show and all the other legal problems that they had to deal with in the process. Check out the site for some great stuff and other freebies you could download.
