iHCPL NexGen #24 Sound: The Sound of Music

Howdy ya'll.

I'm back and ready to ramble.


I plowed through all the pay-to-download sites. I think I found that Napster and Rhapsody are basically the same price ( in the $13 range). The Apple/iTunes site was nearly impossible to navigate and I could not find any figure resembling user cost. I use iTunes 8 on my pc at home and like it a great deal. It collects all of my podcast feeds, shows me a playlist and lets me choose those I want to download.

The free music download sites are interesting, but the selection seems pretty much like open audition at the Sad Cafe. I'm sure there is a lot o' good stuff there, but slogging through the buckets of angst-pop and American Idol Wannabees is an off-putting thought.


I've been into internet radio for awhile. I listen to the Rice student station, ktru, quite a bit. There are also some non-broadcast services, like 1clubFM, that offer a slew of stations from garage/punk to trance to old school funk to the sound of a dripping water faucet 24/7. These are pretty good for short bursts every so often, but because they tend toward a limited playlist in fairly tight rotation, you'll get sick of even the good songs in a matter of days if you listen regularly.
