There is a heap of free music out on the net. Too much I say, it’s confusing what you need to download, and 9/10 you need to know what your looking for (unless you listen to itunes or media player radio—very corporate and full of adds). And streaming has problems, it jumps, puases and jitters more than the stuttering kid in Adam Sandler’s Billy Maddison ” TTTT TODAY JUNIOR!!” But, this my aural pleasure seeking friends is the ultimate answer. www.pandora.com works on streaming to you in a seamless better than cd quality sound music that is spot on, exactly what you want to hear at any point in time. How? Well, you know how sometimes when your happy you put on your fave scissor sisters album and that specific genre becomes your tunes for that mood? pandora breaks down song elements into over 400 attributes and matches them to the song or band your type in and creates a radio station -just for you - of songs that match that theme:- “For almost six years now, we have been hard at work on the Music Genome Project. It’s the most comprehensive analysis of music ever undertaken. Together our team of thirty musician-analysts have been listening to music, one song at a time, studying and collecting literally hundreds of musical details on every song. It takes 20-30 minutes per song to capture all of the little details that give each recording its magical sound - melody, harmony, instrumentation, rhythm, vocals, lyrics ... and more - close to 400 attributes! We continue this work every day to keep up with the incredible flow of great new music coming from studios, stadiums and garages around the country.” You don’t need to download software and the sign up is only there to help build your music profile….this is how I listen to my music now….thanks to Wifi I can stream any sort of music I want at any point in time, so unless I’m in the middle of the great sandy desert in central Australia or on a Qantas plan out of here, I’ll never need my iPod again.
