#24: The Sound of Music!


Seeing some of the different websites that offer music interested me on their pricing for individual songs.

I've used iTunes before and usually per song it's 99 cents. Which is just a buck and doesn't seem bad at all. But then you run into things like DRM, transferring your bought song to another device, enconding quality and so on.

Also depending on where you went it seems that some places where you can buy music (like iTunes) have way more songs than some other websites (Raphsody).

Also their song download services varies in price.
Raphody = $12.99 a month for unlimited downloads or 129.99 for an annual fee.
Napster = $12.99 a month for unlimited downloads
iTunes = 99 cents per song cheaper when you buy the whole album.

Downloading music was easy with simple with music.downloads.com. You register and then search any of their free music. Click on the song you want, aim it at the folder you want it downloaded to and just wait a minute while the song downloads.

KRBE has an online radio station. You click on their website and click on their streaming link which opens up your default music player. Then you can listen to live music through the internet.

I usually don't use KRBE or any of the other radio stations in Houston. It seems that alot of these radio stations only have Top 40 music and nothing new. So you I usually listen to www.di.fm which has plenty of live radio and genres in case you one day you want to listen to alternative and switch up to classic rap.
