Posted on 26. Jan, 2010 by Aminul Islam Sajib.

Have you ever wanted to record something that you’re listening to online? Maybe you’re streaming some music or a podcast online, and you don’t have any way to download it.  You could find a mic and put it in front of your speaker and press record, but that sound quality is going to be terrible.

PCWin Speaker Record is a better solution than the mic one I just mentioned.  It’s a free program that lets you record any music, voice, sound (or noise) you hear from your speakers.

If you aren’t, you might find an even greater enjoyment through the art of tweaking a recording. A lot of different questions can arise when you’re trying to buy a new microphone. With so many different options, such as condenser microphones and dynamic microphone, it is often common to be lost in a sea of consumer options.

Posted on 06. Apr, 2009 by LesliePoston.

I am a Mac junkie, and a music lover. I have over 80GB of music, most of which I’ve imported from records, cassettes and CDs that I own. This means that much of my collection had issues with tags, missing album art and more meta data problems than you could shake a stick at.

Posted on 29. Sep, 2008 by Kyle Judkins.

Are you too lazy to send a real postcard from your vacation?  Do you wish that all postcards had music?  If you answered yes to either of those questions, you are going love Postcard.fm.

Postcard.fm allows you to make an online postcard by uploading a photo of yourself, preferably at a tourist attraction, and adding some good postcard music.  What is postcard music?  Well, I haven’t figured that one out yet, but I’m sure a nice ballad would work perfect.  I went with some nice Slayer Coldplay.

After you pick the photo and the song, add in a friend’s email then check out the preview of your masterpiece.  In the preview window, you’ll be able to add some text to tell your friends all about your awesome vacation.

What type of picture or song would you use in your postcard?

Discover New Music with StumbleAudio

Posted on 16. Sep, 2008 by Kyle Judkins.

StumbleAudio follows in the footsteps of StumbleUpon except instead of finding new websites you find new music.  If you are familiar with StumbleUpon, the same basic rules apply.  You “Stumble” through random tracks on the Internet and give a simple “Thumbs Up” or “Thumbs Down” to the track you are listening to.

StumbleAudio makes it easy to get started, as you don’t even have to sign up to use the service.  However, you will need to register if you want to save your favorites, but it’s not hard.  Let’s take a quick look at all StumbleAudio has to offer.
