			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        With the internet has come a huge increase in the amount of products that are distributed digitally, including music downloads which are one of the most popular online products. Consumers are gradually moving away from traditional music media towards online downloads, accounting for the huge increase in business. Many companies have been quick to jump on this trend, where names such as iTunes and Zune have come to be known by millions of internet users. However, it has also become extremely hard for the customer to choose between such services: there are many different deals and services available, and there is a lot to consider. Illegal music downloads have been the most common in recent years, though slowly the music industry is starting to crack down on these illegal services and those who use them. Therefore there has been a huge boost in pay-to-download sites which offer powerful download software and means of searching for the latest artists or songs available. In many cases they also include a huge catalogue of music from decades ago. Not only are the download services themselves benefitting from these trends, but record labels are benefitting too &#8211; choosing to sign up with services such as iTunes to make their music available to a wider audience. Internet users now have a huge choice of music available almost at their fingertips, and downloading is becoming more quick and more convenient with time. The download methods are so simple that just about anyone can get involved. When signing up for a music download service there will be a number of options regarding payment. Depending on the service you might pay a one-off fee for each song or album you download, or there may be a monthly subscription charge in exchange for a set number of downloads each month. You may even find a download service that offers unlimited downloads for a fee &#8211; just check their terms and packages before choosing to sign up. When downloading music online they will usually come with specific terms regarding DRM (digital rights management). This means you could be limited as to what you can do with the file. For example, some downloads could expire after a set period of time, or some downloads may not be able to be recorded onto compact disc or transferred to portable devices. However, it is also possible to buy files outright, though most digital downloads are only intended for personal use. You should never distribute or copy the files yourself, as this is illegal even if you did purchase the download originally. For the most flexibility regarding digital downloads, look for a service that allows you to play tracks on your computer as well as portable MP3 players. You will soon find your choice of music grows as you find reputable online download services to join. Simply sign up to a service and begin searching their catalogues of artists, albums and songs throughout history &#8211; it really is that simple!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a musician you know that marketing your work is extremely important if you want people to purchase your work. One particularly good way of marketing your music is through the Internet, though many musicians are left confused as to where they should start. So just how do you market music online, what are the best ways to go about it and why exactly should you market your music online?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Why Market Music Online?  </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
While many musicians have found the Internet to be extremely helpful when it comes to marketing their work, others are left wondering what exactly the benefits would be. After all, surely you want to target the people in your area and marketing to people that you can actually see is surely better than marketing to virtual people? Well, not necessarily! All you really want to do is encourage people to buy your music, so it doesn&#8217;t really matter where they live, just as long as they like it.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The fact is, by marketing your music online, you are getting your music noticed by a lot more people than you would through marketing offline. There are literally millions of people who use the Internet daily. Some are in your own area, but you also manage to market your music to a much wider audience too. This means that more people from around the world are likely to purchase the music that you have made and you will become much more widely recognized because of it.  </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Marketing online gives you a much larger chance of becoming a successful musician than marketing offline. So if you have not yet considered it, then now is the time!</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Tips on Image and Relationships</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
As with every other type of business, if you want to market to the right type of people then your image is everything. You need to be able to create a web presence that shows potential clients exactly what you and your music is about. The best way to go about doing this is creating your own website.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Creating a website allows you to link potential customers to your website whenever you post on forums, or whenever you create a web presence elsewhere such as on MySpace, etc. It is basically a space where potential customers get to see what you are all about and as first impressions are everything, you need to be able to leave a good image of both you and your music on your website. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
So how exactly do you do this? Well, think about what type of music you are making. Is it Indie/Rock/Pop/Country music? The type of music you are making will reflect entirely on the image you want to give out. So if you are creating Country music, you will want to have a country theme to your website, not something with a modern and retro type style. Think about it, if you were visiting a musician&#8217;s website that created Rap music, you wouldn&#8217;t expect to see a Country theme on it would you? So create a website that reflects your theme and that is the first step to marketing both you and your website.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Using Blogs, Podcasts and MySpace</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
If you really want to draw in a lot of potential customers, then blogs, podcasts and websites such as MySpace and YouTube are certainly the way to go.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Blogs are great because you get to add a voice to your music. Allowing you to link back to your website, people will get an idea of the type of music you make, who you are and what is new with your music. People love getting to know musicians before trying out their songs and so if you do create a blog, it will draw in a lot of new customers for you. Another advantage to a blog is that if you use the right keywords, you can get it recognized by search engines and therefore more people will discover your music. It is by far one of the best methods of online marketing.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Podcasts are also very popular and you can create your own quickly and easily by visiting MySpace and selecting &#8220;MySpace Music&#8221;. Literally millions of people use MySpace and they are constantly looking at new music on there. So if you want to get recognized fairly quickly, creating a profile and releasing your music on there is definitely a good idea. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Using websites such as the ones mentioned above, you can easily market your music online. YouTube is another website that allows you to record yourself or whatever you like and millions of people will view your video. So get recording, place your songs online, set up a website and start blogging and you should end up with potentially thousands of new customers!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        This product, the Zune Car Charger, is also known as the Zune Car Pack, and it runs around .99. It has tons of features that will simply dazzle you. Lets get started with that.
<p>First off, I\&#8217;d like to start off by saying who this is for. This product is for anyone who enjoys listening to music through their mp3 player in their car. Its extremely useful for anyone taking a long road trip and doesn\&#8217;t want to be changing cd\&#8217;s every hour or so. All in all, if you have a zune, a car, and money to spend, then this product will definitely be worth your while. </p>
<p>The great thing about the Zune Car Charger when compared to say an iPod adapter or something of that sort, is that with the iPod adapter you have to change the fm station to the one that you think works best for you, and then you have to change it on the adapter and so forth. But the </p>
<p>Zune product completely eliminates that by having auto-tuning, it will automatically tune itself into the best possible braodcasting station around, thus you will not get the best performance possible, you don\&#8217;t have to do any work to get it. This also allows you to be safer on the roads as you will not have to worry about looking in weird places to adjust the station on your adapter as well as your deck, it simply does it by itself. </p>
<p>Another feature of this Zune Car Charger that is simply amazing is the fact that is charges and can be played at the same time. Although a lot of other adapters do the same, the idea in itself is great. </p>
<p>Not only are you being able to enjoy your mp3 player in the car, listening to whatever you want to listen to, you are getting full advantage of this product by also charging your mp3 player. So, now when you leave your car and you want to take your mp3 player with you, you no longer have to worry about your mp3 player being uncharged for wherever you are going. </p>
<p>The fm part has two different presets for those who are taking a distance trip that will be going from station to station as you travel through cities. This makes it easier on you so you really don\&#8217;t have to deal with all of the busy work just to listen and enjoy your music. </p>
<p>This Zune Car Charger also comes with a dashboard grip pad so that you can place it anywhere on your dashboard without falling or anything. This is definitely helpful for those who don\&#8217;t want to reach all the way down in the corner of the car just to change the song, they can simply grip it within hands reach and it makes it a whole lot easier. </p>
<p>This product is made by Zune, therefore you will know that this product is specifically made for zune mp3 players, so that it is compatible for all zune mp3 players no matter what. How unforunate would it be to buy a car charger and not be compatible with the mp3 player that you are using. </p>
<p>With Zune making this product, you are also ensured quality and reliability. The zune mp3 players are excellent mp3 players that many people are missing out on, and there are also going to be a lot of people missing out on the Zune Car Charger. </p>
</p>
<p>But, that just means you are going to be taking full advantage of what Microsoft has offered you. A great mp3 player along with a great accessory to accommodate with it. All in all, this product is an extraodinary product for anyone who loves listening to music in their car, going on a long road trip, or needs a quick charge every now and then on the go.         </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The search &#8220;free sheet music&#8221; (without the inverted commas) on google spews out an impressive 17,300,000 pages. Even the most inexperienced internet-user will immediately realize that the truth cannot be quite so bountiful. I click on the first hit on google (results on yahoo and msn will differ) and am promised thousands of downloadable scores. On closer inspection this turns out to be a number of Irish tunes at most, with most of the promised pieces in fact consisting of links to more so called &#8220;free sites&#8221;. Funnily enough the owner of the website at one point even points out not to send him any nasty e-mails about the lack of free scores on the site. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s try the second hit. After navigating round the site promising me free scores, I always end up on a page telling me that all of these scores are free to download &#8211; for a small fee of 20 Dollars a year. As a user I am starting to feel confused &#8211; I haven&#8217;t seen a single piece of sheet music. Can I trust this site? What would the quality of the scores be if I paid the 20 Dollars?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Frustrated, I move on to the next search engine result. This site at least has the courage to tell me on the main page that the so-called free scores will cost me 30 dollars a year, yet once again, I fail to detect a single quaver or treble clef. No scores are available for preview. This is starting to remind me of the &#8220;free DVD&#8221; I get with my Sunday paper. Only that I have to purchase the Sunday paper first.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Yet another site turns out to be just like the first, the promised pieces of sheet music being links to more so-called free sheet music sites. I am starting to get bored of being re-directed. Aren&#8217;t there any sheet music sites out there?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>The story of my search continues in similar fashion, until I encounter a site that does offer sheet music, albeit a limited quantity. I download a score only to find that the graphics aren&#8217;t quite where they should be, and this makes me wonder about the general quality of the scores and the arrangements that are available. Indeed. Why should anyone create a score and put any effort into the arrangement and editing, if they aren&#8217;t making any money through direct sales?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Even other hits take me to a site where I am charged .60 for the &#8220;privilege&#8221; of downloading a badly scanned copy of a Bach composition. Hm.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Frighteningly, I also find a site that offers extremely basic versions of John Lennon&#8217;s &#8220;Imagine&#8221; and other music that is in fact still under copyright. This website is clearly an illegal operation, and one that might find itself in the crosshairs of the Music Publishers&#8217; Association (MPA). The MPA, as highlighted in a recent article on the BBC Website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4524086.stm) is intending to clamp down on websites selling music still under copyright, or where the arrangements are still under copyright. In a way the publishing world is doing what record labels started a few years ago by actively prosecuting those participating in illegal download of sheet music.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>I eventually find a project similar to the Gutenberg Project where people contribute scores freely. The quality seems ok, but I am restricted to pieces by a handful of classical composers, and with anything relying on donations and free contributions, I doubt there are regular updates. However, as with Wikipedia, the authenticity of the product has to come into question. The standard review process that an encyclopaedia has and Wikipedia and other websites dependent on volunteers lack will have to be considered when downloading scores (or any other information for that matter) for free: does the end-user believe all the notes are accurate? When the founder of Wikipedia himself was found to manipulate information on the very site how much can these so-called democratic sites be trusted? Obviously no one would benefit from changing a note in a score, so no one would deliberately manipulate a piece of music. But what are the skill levels of those involved in the creation of these scores? It is highly unlikely that a trained musician would edit these &#8211; he would be destroying his own industry to a certain extent. Furthermore I will not be able to find simplified arrangements of a piece, as this is a time-consuming effort, and anyone engaging in such an operation would clearly charge for the service.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>After many days of searching, I give up in my quest in search of good free scores.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>But what is one to make of all this? Why are there so many sites that don&#8217;t actually sell anything, and what is the point of them?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>The problem is created by advertising. The people who run these sites own the most obvious url titles (i.e. the web site address) that one might type in when looking for free scores. As an example: if you were looking for free glasses, one might type in www.freeglasses.com. Hence, these sites get a lot of direct traffic. Furthermore they have also done a very good job at search engine optimisation, which makes you wonder whether google and Co are actually missing a trick here. Yet as these sites have nothing to sell they try and get the frustrated user to click on one of the many adverts, and many of these are so-called google ads. Every time someone clicks on one of these ads or paid-for links, the aforementioned website earns a small amount of money (so-called click-through). What is even more disconcerting is that some of these ads lead to legitimate sheet music download sites, making it even harder for the user to distinguish between the real thing and some dodgy operation trying to make a buck on click-throughs. This clearly does not help the industry.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Well, what about those free scores then? Well, there are some out there, basically a handful to be found on the five or six legitimate sites that are out there. These sites have the highest quality in terms of the arrangements, the quality of the score both graphically and in print-out quality. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>So why no free scores?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Think about it: why should anyone go through the effort of either&#13;<br />
A) scanning hundreds and thousands of pages of music, and then offering them for free?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Or </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>B) creating hundreds and thousands of arrangements for free?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Exactly. If you were to upload loads of tunes, you&#8217;d want to make money out of it.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The digital music player continues to evolve from simple audio player to complex multimedia device. Most come with color displays and can show digital photos. Many also play movies. Some can record directly from a TV or download and share their content over Wi-Fi.</p>
<p>When shopping for an MP3 player, first decide how much you&#8217;re willing to spend on a unit you might want to replace in a year or two. Then decide which brand you want to buy, iPod or another brand, which might not be as popular but might offers useful features that iPods lack. You also should weigh your download options because copy-protected content available from online stores work only with specific players. <strong> </strong>Also decide whether you&#8217;ll mostly watch videos or listen to music. Most MP3 players can handle downloaded music videos, movies, and TV programs, but some are better at it than others. A rising number of MP3 players now offer built-in support for optional wireless Bluetooth headphones for tangle-free listening, and even Wi-Fi capability for downloading music directly from online stores, browsing the Web, or sharing music with nearby players.</p>
<p>These are a variety of smallest and lightest types of MP3 players in the market, often no bigger than a pack of gum, and they typically weigh no more than 3 ounces. They&#8217;re solid-state, meaning they have no moving parts and tend to have longer audio playback time than players that use hard-disk storage. Storage capacities range from 218MB to 32GB. Some flash-memory players also have memory-card expansion slots to add more capacity. These typically use Secure Digital cards, though some Sony players use Memory Stick media. Memory-card capacities range from about 32MB to 32GB. For more MP3 players, please come to http://www.favordeals.com/ .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like the Batman theme and want to use it for your client&#8217;s project? You might have frowned in dismay as the Batman theme is of course, as everyone knows, a copyrighted track and hence there is no way you are able to use this in your project. Do so, and you will probably end up in trouble with the law. There IS a way out though, and that is by using royalty free wav sound effects that you can download. And not to worry &#8211; these tracks are meant to be downloaded and be used by you.</p>
<p>&#13;First things first, let&#8217;s get the idea of &#8216;royalty free wav music&#8217; straight. Royalty free tracks are tracks that can be downloaded infinitely many times by everyone, and anyone can use it freely. So if you are looking for an awesome sound effect to use, try royalty free wav sound effects. Normal tracks that you might have downloaded from P2P networks are copyrighted tracks; most of them at least. Hence, this simply means that you are doing downloading these tracks illegally. This is the reason why using royalty free sound effects is highly encouraged.</p>
<p>&#13;Unlike these normal tracks that you have downloaded from Kazaa, royalty free sound effects are safe to download and as the purchaser and downloader, you are entitled to do anything you want with the track. Cut is short, edit it, loop it around or simply use it as it is. The sound effect is rightfully yours.</p>
<p>&#13;This is the reason why many people love to use royalty free music. There is no need for them to worry about the materials that they are using in their projects. There is also no need for them to think too hard on choosing the exact tracks that they wish to use. This is simply because there is an abundance of royalty free wav sound effects out there! Yes, you read it clear. If you are running out of ideas on which are the kind sound effects to use on your website, then hit &#8220;Royalty Free Wav Sound Effects&#8221; on Google and you will be rewarded with a full list of links to these royalty free tracks.</p>
<p>&#13;However, don&#8217;t expect to see Justin Timberlake&#8217;s or Eminem&#8217;s tracks. Royalty free sound effects and songs are 110 percent original. These tracks can sound pretty close to JT&#8217;s though. So if you are looking for a JT song for use, then grab one that is royalty free and sound as close to JT&#8217;s.</p>
<p>&#13;The problem with some people is that they keep on thinking that these royalty free wav sound effects sound crappy and the sound quality might not be as good. This is when they are wrong! You will be surprised to know that some of these royalty free sound effects and songs are actually composed by experienced and well-known music composers and directors. So, there is a high chance of these tracks sounding as good as (or even better than) the tracks that you have heard over the radio.</p>
<p>&#13;A definite plus point: these royalty free sound effects have sneak previews before you download and use them. This is definitely not the case for P2P networks.</p>
