Music Made Easy


          So today I decided to write about something a little bit different. Everyone likes to listen to music on the radio and on their ipods but the problem with the radio is sometimes you don't always like all of the songs playing. The problem with ipods can be not having enough money to constantly download every new song that you like. People will usually download limewire so some other illegal website to download music. This can make computers slow and causes them to crash. 
      I was recently shown a new website that incorporates music that you like. On pandora you can create your own radio station and pick songs and/or artists you like and they will include those songs on your radio station. The website will also put related songs and artists on that they think you will like. There are thumbs up and thumbs down signs that you can click to tell them if you like it or not. If you don't like it they will never play it again. You can have multiple stations for example a rock one, hip hop one, etc. After you make your stations you can listen to the music on your computer or upload it to your iphone. This is a great way to enjoy the music you like FOR FREE. Try it out! www.pandora.com

  2. Well I just want to criticize you for stating that Limewire or websites that allow you to download free music are illegal. They actually are not. P2P sharing is actually perfectly legal and it's like listening to your friends Itunes playlist on your computer.
    In fact one of the biggest companies to fileshare music and other files, The Pirate Bay, is in a court room with a music company at this moment battling the rights of people who download music through programs like Limewire or Ares. They are actually winning the battle as out of three of the demands they placed in a counter sue they have won two.
    The reason why your computer goes slow while you download music through limewire is because people aren't careful and don't educate themselves on what can be contained in a file. Usually Limewire tells you if the file is corrupted, in that instance you immediately delete it and you don't get any malware. On the of chance that it sneaks by Limewire just run a scan on the file before opening and then you should be fine. Problem solved.
