What software is the best for CD Music management?

February 28th, 2010 admin No comments

I want the ability to rip songs from various CDs that I own and then create mix CDs. However, I want to play in my standard CD player in my car. I do not have an MP3 or WMA player in my car.

Just rip to .wav files, instead of MP3 or any other lossy compression system. Then (I think) just make an an audio CD in your CD burning software.

Do you think music cds will be extinct sometime this decade?

February 28th, 2010 admin 3 comments

Can we just be real 4 a second no 1 buys music cds anymore. the buy music online whether it from iTunes Store, Zune Marketplace, Amazon MP3, TuneTribe, Kazaa, eMusic best buy music store, or walmart music store. iTunes even offers music video, behind scenes, and pdf cd booklets. And the record companies can still make money.

I think by 2020 they will be going the same way as cassette tapes are now. Digital downloads are cheaper to distribute and easier. I can download music from iTunes over wifi onto my iPod straight away. People can also download individual tracks that they want without the need for the rubbish ones on a CD.
Digital downloads are also much more environmentally friendly because there is less need for plastic and the materials used to make cds.

Who are some good Christian music artists?

February 28th, 2010 admin 14 comments

I am looking to purchase some new Christian music CDs. Any advice on who I might like? I love country music, and my favorite artists are Taylor Swift, Kellie Pickler, and Brad Paisley. I’ve been going to a new church and I really have been enjoying their contemporary Christian music. I’d like to get some CDs of my own.

Casting Crowns, Kutless, Third Day, Chris Tomlin, Switchfoot, Bebo Norman, Francesca Battistelli, Brandon Heath, Group 1 Crew, Newsong, Jeremy Camp, MercyMe, Sara Groves, Avalon, Jars of Clay, Andrea Bocelli

Try some Christian radio channels online. Like Air 1, or K-Love.

Is it tacky not to have live music at a reception?

February 28th, 2010 admin 10 comments

I am on a tight budget for my wedding and I was wondering how tacky it would be to set up speakers at our reception instead of having a dj or live band? We are already paying for musicians at the ceremony and we really can’t afford a band for the reception. Also, if you have any other creative ideas for reception music I would love to hear them!

Not tacky at all.

We’re doing the same for our July wedding. Hiring a DJ was going to cost an upwards of $800! We’re renting all the equipment (speakers, amp, mics, etc) for $100! We’ll then hook it up to our pre-mixed iPod (with a varitey of hundreds of songs, pre-loaded just for the wedding).

Cheap, exactly what we need, a great system, and no annoying DJ!

Just make sure that if you have specific songs you need played, that someone can do that for you. We’ll be designating a family member to man the iPod for a few songs. The rest of the night it’ll be on shuffle.

Good luck!

Is it normal that being a teenager, I really like Jazz music?

February 28th, 2010 admin 9 comments

I really like vocal Jazz music. However, I do not know anyone my age that like jazz music as well. I’m not really into the rap kind of stuff but mainstream is okay and I like it too.

Are there any other jazz fans out there that are teenagers? I feel strange liking a genre people my age find "boring".

I love it too. there’s nothing wrong with it at all…there is no age limit in music

How do i make sure concert tickets are real?

February 28th, 2010 admin 3 comments

I’m going to be buying tickets for a Muse concert through craigslist because they’ve been sold out for a while. How do i know that the tickets i’m buying are real and i’m not getting ripped off when i go to meet the guy i’m buying from? Thanks a lot!

they are most likely real. chances are the person purchased them to resell for a profit. look at the tickets and ink. check the date, time, location information on the ticket before handing over the money. and if you don’t feel comfortable with the person, don’t do the transaction, just buy from a reliable online reseller who guarantees the tickets.

What effect does classical music have on the nervous system?

February 28th, 2010 admin 12 comments

I am doing a science project on this topic – and whatever info or answers I get, help!! (So basically I’m just wondering what you think the effect of classical music is on the nervous system or what you do know about this. REMEMBER, your opinion helps…a lot!! -Thanks!

no effect at all, something called the "Mozart effect", the supposed relaxation and concentration you think you feel when you listen to classical music is only temporary, about 7 mins. It does not make smarter at all, it is only a myth.

What do u call blues music that uses the organ?

February 28th, 2010 admin 4 comments

I’m trying to classify blues music that uses the organ as a background sound, synthesized.

In blues, use of the organ is not unknown. My brother Martin notes jazz great Jimmy Smith and nails the information as usual. The organist I associate most with the blues is Sid Winfield, who played with Luther Allison for years before Luther fled to Europe. (Sometimes he’s erroneously confused with Pete Wingfield and publications spell it "Sid Wingfield".) Sid resurfaced with the blues/soul outfit Big Twist & The Mellow Fellows, now called The Chicago Rhythm & Blues Kings. Sid plays a Hammond B3 with a Leslie Speaker. I never saw him use anything but that in performance, into the late 80s before Big Twist died.

You can see Sid having fun on the B3 in this live clip of Big Twist.

Gregg Allman can’t play his way out of a wet paper bag, as evidenced by the video. Why else did the Allmans hire Chuck Leavell? One reason must be is so many people think it’s Gregg playing the piano on "Jessica" when in fact it’s Chuck. Gregg’s strengths are composing and singing.

I’ve seen Gregg perform live twice: the first time during the Eat A Peach tour and the second as a big band solo act. The first show, he played rudimentary chords as Dickey Betts played guitar solos. The second time former Wet Willie frontman Jimmy Hall stole the show by performing "Keep On Smilin". I went to the Eat A Peach concert because Freddie King was opening. His organist, Duke Jethro of Mississippi, far outshone Gregg.
