Music freaks are all the same: they want to hear music, find information about their favorite songs, and sing the songs. Nowadays, they can get their favorite songs much more easily. They don’t need to search for their favorite songs at radio stations. All they have to do is turn on their computer, log on to the internet, search, and download.
Getting your songs
How to get songs from the internet? You can get your songs by downloading them from streaming radios. You’ll need additional software to do this. One popular name is Stream Down. You can get the shareware version from popular download sites such as downloads.com or tucows.com. Unfortunately, this method is illegal.
But don’t worry. There are ways to get songs legally from the internet. Apple Music Store is the place. You can buy and downloads songs for $ 0. 99 each. Audio books and other sound files are also available. Their service is so successful that statistics say they sold 2.5 million songs in their first two months of operations.
More on Songs
Music freaks want more than just songs. They may also want to know more about artists. It’s easy to find such info on the internet. Just “google”. Hundreds of sites dedicated to popular artists can be found on the internet.
Song lyrics are another thing that music freaks fancy. Of course, googling can lead them to song lyrics. But there is a more convenient way to find song lyrics. There is a plug-in for Winamp called “Evil Lyrics” which will automatically find the lyrics of the songs being played on Winamp, as long as you are connected to the internet. Then it will store the lyric in a database. So, the next time you play the song, the lyrics will come up on screen.
Instrument Players
If you are into more than singing but also playing a musical instrument(s), then you are in for a treat. If you are a guitarist, you can download millions of tablature of songs from the internet. One of the most popular sites for tabs is olga.net. For players of other musical instruments,’music+sheet+[songtitle]+artist/composer]’is the perfect strings to search for the music sheets you want.
Well, we’re done. Almost. The only thing left to do is to sing the songs along with your favorite artist and/or play the songs on your guitar (or another musical instrument that you’ve mastered). There’s a karaoke plug-in for Winamp which enables you to wipe out the singer’s voice and replace it with yours. Just make sure that your computer is equipped with a good microphone and sound system.
