		<description><![CDATA[After getting a passport to travel internationally into the states by the way of sizable financial backing, Spotify is going public for its hyped music services in the USA. As of the 2nd week of July, 2011, it requires an invitation, a good Klout score, or a purchase of the non-free accounts. Spotify seems quite social and pretty radlicious. I plugged my facebook into it and it of goodness. The absolute best feature is Millions of tracks available instantly. Think about all the worldwide pirating that will be stunted by this legal gift of goodness. You can stream full songs without resorting to a shady lo-fi version on youtube or other source. Want to add a new iPhone app to rival Pandora? Spotify Premium gives you what Last.fm turned into a paid service- mobile streaming. Time will tell if it is awesome as it claims to be&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Instead of wasting time downloading things by hand, page by page, clicking links generated from javascript, right clicking to save or waiting for each save dialog box, you could be using a download manager to automatically grab certain files from links off of a page. DownThemAll is my choice for Firefox. Let&#8217;s say you want to download all mp3 links listed here. After DownThemAll is installed, go to this page and right click in the black area of the layout to avoid clicking a link. Once you right-click, you should select the DownThemAll button. Add the below code to &#8220;Additional Filters,&#8221; and make sure &#8220;Reg. Exp.&#8221; (to the right) is checked. Better yet, save the code as a permanent filter in your preferences. Filter Code: /\/[^\\]+\.(aac&#124;m4a&#124;ogg&#124;wma&#124;mp3)$/ or if you are having troubles &#8220;.mp3&#8221; (without quotes) should be accurate enough as a filter. A last solution would be to alter/copy an existing filter replaced with an &#8220;mp3&#8243; filetype. Now for the good part. Instead of navigating threw hundreds of pages, how about going straight to the mp3s? Some Last.fm folks made an epitonic m3u of all songs (no longer working), then another commentor crafted an .m3u list of Artists beginning with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can&#8217;t go to sleep? Want to be in bed earlier, but it&#8217;s impossible? I know what it&#8217;s like. I can usually stay asleep, but initiating sleep at the right times is a hassle sometimes. Whether for school or work or peace of mind, we all need rest that is compatible with our schedules. It&#8217;s common to break out of a sleep cycle even if it&#8217;s not jet lag. We are not equipped with a body that strictly follows the earth&#8217;s rotation that makes day and night. We can be in better tune with appropriate sleep habits with a handful of potential aids. Dietary Tips Tryptophan is an amino acid that aids in sleep with increase brain levels of serotonin and/or melatonin. Melatonin is a natural hormone that manages your circadian rhythm. Turkey is the most common suggestion for tryptophan, but other meats contain it as well. Even milk contains small traces of it, as well as calcium, which supposedly helps the brain use the tryptophan to manufacture melatonin. Melatonin also comes in a supplement. If you are to take it for the first time, use a small quantity (Even split the pill if you can). Another thing to think about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Someone recently contacted me with this question and I figured I&#8217;d share it with everyone. They found me from a search from organizing checked items for iTunes. What I am about to show you how to do isn&#8217;t very new, but it is a trick that might come in handy in cases that require desperate measures. Use with extreme caution. Practice this in a small playlist that isn&#8217;t mixed with checked and unchecked tracks. If you hold [Control/Command] and click on the checkbox next to any track, it will change all files to the opposite check mark. And for real novices that don&#8217;t know how to edit more than one track at a time, but don&#8217;t want every single file, you can select multiple tracks in sequence using shift or you can highlight other tracks using CTRL/CMD (but not on the check box itself).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As described at the end of my guide to online music, here&#8217;s are some playlists that will give you the power tools to organize your music better like a power user. Smart Playlists Top 100 Played Limit to 100 items selected by most often played I listen to post rock and instrumental stuff while sleeping sometimes, so I exclude those playlists, streams, and spoken word. Sometimes podcasts and other unwanted things crawl into the list if they have a high play count, so setting a time range (1:05 to 20:00) ensures short intros and lengthy podcasts/concerts/interviews are not used. Decades/Era Year is in the range 1960-1970 (any years) If I&#8217;m not mistaken, iTunes sets up a playlists of 90s music. You can do the same thing for any dates. No Rating Rating is 0 stars Get to work on rating your songs. You could use something like 1=delete/terrible, 2=repair/poor, 3=acceptable, 4=good, 5=amazing. Then you can make more personal playlists of higher rated songs. Blank Genre Genre is [blank] If you care to organize by genre or just want things complete then fill these in with your desired genre. Some people like to have specific genres (blues-rock, indie, jangle pop) and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(If you have a short attention span and don&#8217;t care much for commentary, skip this paragraph and go straight to the five steps for the online music lover) Years ago, it was harder to find out more detailed information about songs and their writers without searching catalogs, or finding related articles or interviews, or talking with a musicologist. Modern times have expanded the capabilities of learning, sorting, and refining what interests us all on a personal basis. On the other hand, digital music and digital management lacks the secondary qualities of a physical library. You have nothing to “hold” &#8230;and your mouse doesn&#8217;t count. Music loses the entity it had 50 years ago when you had something to look at and call your own. Now everyone basically has their own radio station right at their fingertips. Today, radio no longer has the powerful position as it did long ago because it has been transferred directly to the person. Just like listening radio, you never worry about rewinding a tape or scrambling through a basement of records to hear the next song. It just plays (until you say otherwise). You are the DJ. And here is how to use your tools [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ROCKbox is open source firmware that can be dual-booted (at least with my 5th generation iPod) with the original iPod system so you don&#8217;t have to erase all your music by overwriting and re-transferring all your things. And it works on many mp3 players, not just Apple. Rockbox for the 5G iPod does not manage videos, podcasts, and lacks a few minor things that Apple firmware has. However, there is much to get excited about with Rockbox: it comes with plenty of games, themes, even a gameboy emulator if you have roms. It supports ogg vorbis, flac, and other uncommon codecs in addition to the usual mp3, m4a, etc. There are extra themes and much to explore. It took a little while to get familiar with the controls and to understand how things worked. Unlike linux, it was very easy to get things installed. I didn&#8217;t have to use any command line or input advanced parameters to get anything to work right away. Installation is the easy part. If you learn quick, you may not need any help afterwards. I&#8217;d suggest that everyone else look at the manual. The buttons and menu structures are handled differently than the default iPod [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After test driving several media players, I have tried to customize foobar2K as a replacement of my current music program, iTunes. Although I was initially negative about the raw power of foobar2000, I still decided to give it one more try. Right away I could tell this was not going to be intuitive. I tried to do things the right way by reading the wiki and registering at their forums. I could not make any forum posts until 5 days after signing up. Another thing was how difficult it was to find every configuration file, associated fonts, and the updated plugins that went along with it. It&#8217;s supposedly against the EULA to bundle a complete configuration. This makes it beyond a chore to make things the way I want them to be. I was able to get a config to work 80. I didn&#8217;t have all the fonts and 4 out of 20 .dll files were not to be found easily on the web. Some were outdated, links were broken, and the rest were hiding in corners. As much as I like being able to adjust every detail, it&#8217;s not worth it to be searching endlessly for satisfaction. There are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an attempt to give six other applications a try (I&#8217;ve been an iTunes user), I wrote up a review comparing several freeware media players with a focus on those that are designed to manage, organize, and use your music collection. I&#8217;m fairly satisfied using iTunes at the moment, but I have been searching for a open source solution in particular. And I&#8217;d like a computer-based solution, not just an iPod manager. As an incomplete list (ordered by priority) of my most-wanted features, the ideal program should have: speed simplicity (don&#8217;t mind a bunch of features, but do mind ease and usability) filetype support (in order of necessity: mp3, aac, ogg, flac, wav, wma, etc.) smart playlists (I don&#8217;t want to code out complex filters, but I would like extensive drop down parameters like iTunes [custom playlist coding would come in handy as a bonus feature]) batch tagging/editing search feature that is at least equal to iTunes. Should be able to search all tags, and single fields (phrases would be nice though). Not a must-need feature, but search support for lyrics in id3 tags would be an amazing add-on. hotkeys or custom shortcuts (at least with a plugin or something) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m on a roll with iTunes-related tips lately. To better myself and others, I have made scripts that can edit music file tags, create technical playlists not possible even with Smart Playlists, and other workarounds for missing features and requests. Some work out-of-the-box, and the rest just need you to enter your desired customizations in the javascript code. These free scripts work on Windows only, but Mac users can use Applescripts. I&#8217;m no whiz at programming, but I managed to come up with some rudimentary plugins that achieve crucial functions that should be helpful for many people on many occasions (like processing in batches). This saves time and makes things more convenient. Has Lyrics All songs that have lyrics (anything but blank) in the lyrics ID3 tags are put in a playlist. download Adjust Play Count Change the &#8220;Played Count&#8221; number of selected songs that you can set to whatever number you want. download Undo Play Count If a song played that you didn&#8217;t really listen to, or you just want to subtract the number of plays of selected tracks, use this. This does not edit the time stamp listed as &#8220;Last Played,&#8221; but it will undo the number of [...]]]></description>
