Sound #26 - Making (or listening to) music together

This session had some pros and cons to it. Cons - I really didn't care for Imeem site, and am not into MySpace site also.

Pros: I love the JamStudio site and can't wait to show it to my 15 year child - she loves to write music. Project Playlist was awesome, and easy to use. ccMixter was another good site to use.

Good variety of choices, something for everyone that participates in this session.

Sound #25 - Am I a music pirate?

Burning a cd in this exercise was very easy to do. The steps given was great! I still use cds because I can play them in my car while driving and have various song artists on one cd (of my favorite songs) from yesteryears.

I believe sharing music is a great idea. The artists give their permission to have there songs to share. I prefer free and open sharing then strict copyright protections online, because some artist have their songs become popular by open sharing. Even though you have strict copyright protections (pirated cds are made all over the world every day) and I think this will stop the pirating (making pirates richer) and let the little people benefit (us).

Sound #24 - The Sound of Music

Wow!!

Since I got a Zuni for Christmas, now I know how to download music to my MP3 player. Great exercise in finding out different ways to download music from different websites.
