I’ve written before about links that my husband has sent me from College Humor.
When he’s supposed to be working, he’s actually on the internet. It helps him clear his head – or so he tells me.
So yesterday, while he was screwing around clearing his head, Tucker sent me a link to this video of a chick playing Avenged Sevenfold on Expert on Rock Band on the flute. I played flute in high school [don't laugh] and I suppose Tucker thought this video would be of interest to me.
About a minute into the video, I knew I had found internet and …read more

This evening, at the request of my wife, I’ve been playing around with iTunes on her computer. I’ve got to say I haven’t missed anything. I’m simply trying to get her library to update itself and remove references to songs that are no longer available to her on our home network.

The songs aren’t available because the computer they were stored on is now offline and I’m not sure when it will be getting fixed again. You’d think there would be an easy way to get this done. If there is, I haven’t found it. That’s one of the reasons I …read more

In a move to bolster sales of albums, Apple, according to the Financial Times is joining forces with record labels to come up with new “Digital Albums”. This is reminiscent to the days wherein people would buy albums/cds not just for the music but for the covers and booklets that come with it.

With today’s online distribution, record companies are losing album sales due to the fact that people can now just purchase songs they like instead of an entire album. Honestly, buying on a per song basis makes much more sense to me. Having said that there’s still something nice …read more

April 7, 2009 marked the change of Apple’s pricing scheme for it’s iTunes music downloads. From one price fits all, it shifted to a variable pricing scheme. With songs as high as $1.29 to as low as $0.69. The $0.99 price point will remain for other songs. Basically what this means is that the new/popular songs will be priced higher, the older and less popular will be priced at the lowest price point and the rest will remain at the $0.99 price point.
Apple had to give in sometime to the demands of the record labels, who are currently struggling with …read more
