TunesPro 19cent Per Track

As many of you may see i like to write about music on this website, without music the world would be pretty boring and i love to share my musical taste with random members of the public, kind of like how i stand on street corners shouting band names and songs at passing cars.

In this post i'm going to review a website which is quite new to me called TunesPro, it's like iTunes but much cheaper, in fact much much cheaper, like more than 50% cheaper than iTunes, it may as well be free it's just that cheap.

So TunesPro sell music through their website, the music you download is 100% DRM free which means you can put it on your iPod, Zune (Pfft) or other MP3 player and it will work a treat. The site has over 5.5 million tracks to download from all of your favourite artists from past and present.

we7 - My Ideas

I was introduced to we7 earlier this year and has since become one of my frequently visited websites because it offers free streaming music from its website with no need for additional software.

Since using we7 I have seen little change in the way of features and some of the features we7 doesn't have annoys me a little, however it is a great service so who could stay mad for long.

we7 is very similar to Spotify in that it offers free streaming music supported by advertisements, the difference is that we7 works through your browser and Spotify requires a download in order to work, this is why we7 is better because you can be anywhere and listen to your music, including work or college.

With over 1 million tracks to stream for free including some unreleased albums we7 is massive and just last week we7 was the most visited music website on the internet according to official statistics of internet usage, a rather big milestone for legal free streaming websites.

I thought it would be a great idea to post some of my ideas for improving we7 in the hope that someone over at we7 would see the post and hopefully work on some of the features, features that i think would really improve the service for everyone.

Update On Old Content

Over the last 2 weeks i made some changes to the blog's Content Management System, and by changes i mean i started again, so as a result the database was reconstructed and all the data from the old one was wiped. I decided to do this because a lot of the old stuff was…. well..… old and is kind of unrelated now.

I did however keep some of the old content simply because it was a traffic driver and clearly someone somewhere found it remotely interesting. Everything else is gone.

Lily Allen On Piracy - It's Not Alright

Recently Lily Allen made a splash in the online media when she started a blog where she posted a letter regarding music piracy and how it affected smaller artists, she then went on to post replies she got from other artists.

The letter raised some interesting points from the perspective of the artists which is a new perspective because normally you only hear from the ISPs and record labels. The main point the letter makes is that piracy is not alright (probably why the blog got its name) and it only damages the music industry making it hard for smaller artists to make it big.

Twitter, Ecommerce & You

I recently wrote a forum post on the ekmCommunity forum, a forum for ekmPowershop customers, about the positives of Twitter in the e-commerce sector, a post which was inspired by a blog post i drafted about 4 months ago. The post is on a private forum which means it benefits no one other than the people inside that group, so i have decided to rewrite the blog post and adapt it to my new Twitter findings here.

This post is about how you can utilise a fast growing community of internet users to hopefully increase your businesses profit. This is based around my research and knowledge of Twitter and obviously ecommerce and will hopefully provide information to help ecommerce website owners drive traffic to their site and increase sales.

6 Must Have Firefox Add-ons For Designers & Developers

Web Designers of world i have decided to make a post about great Firefox tools to help speed up your work flow. These are add-ons and plugins that typically help me with designing and coding so i thought i would share them with the world.

The tools i have suggested are tools to speed up debugging, general designing and then uploading.

Why Servage Suck Ass!

I have been considering a review of my current hosting package for quite some time because i find that their service is often highly reliable but with some problems i have been having lately i didn't want my opinion to be skewed.

It has been a few month since then and i have decided that it is probably better for me to review them so that the same people don't get stung by the same problems that i did, time and time again.

The Future Of iTunes

When iTunes 8.0 was released last year (September 2008) i wrote a blog post about the future of iTunes and how iTunes would incorporate social networking features into its software to help people discover new music which would inevitably increase iTunes sales.

Since then iTunes 9.0 has been released and it didn't really implement anything new into the software, the software is still the same old iTunes with a nicer interface and couple of new features and i honestly don't believe these small changes deserve a full new version release, instead it should have been called iTunes 8.5 at the most.

V Festival 2009

I thought i would take this time to update and let all (one) of you know that in less than 30 days V festival 2009 will commence with such legends as The Killers, Oasis, Snow Patrol and Keane - what's better is that I will be one of the thousands of people attending. It will be epic!

I have already started planning who shall have the pleasure of looking down on me as a observe the smash-tastic music and with new bands being announced over the next few weeks approaching V Festival it just makes my life harder in the choosing of who i go to see.

However with that said my focus will be on The Killers who are headlining Weston Park on Sunday, and furthermore the legends of British music Oasis who will be headlining my first day at Weston Park (Saturday). So despite a large portion of my day being me getting extremely drunk wandering for hours listening to random bands along my way, i certainly hope that my day/night ends with me listening to The Killers or Oasis.

The iPhone App

I have always been a fan of the iPhone and have always made it a goal of mine to one day develop an iPhone application. Well today i can announce that i have completed my very first iPhone application and it has been submitted to the iPhone App Store for review and will hopefully appear soon.

It has been suggested for quite some time that i shouldn't jump into full-on iPhone development because i do not know Objective C, in the slightest, so a web app has been my starting goal.

UPDATE: The app got kinda rejected. So scrap that idea.
