I found a good streaming mp3 station for goth/punk music. It’s really gotten me interested in that and related genres. Try it out.
That reminds me, I really encourage people to use Winamp 5.0 (which is free) to listen to their mp3’s. I have seen a few friends using other programs like Windows Media Player, Real Player (evil, pernicious), MusicMatch Jukebox (eh, unless you’re a subscriber), or Quicktime Player for Windows to play their mp3s. Now, hear me out and just trust me that it is better and full of the important features you need and will use. Winamp version 3.0 was bloated and crap compared to versions 2.xx due to AOL rushing development and pushing crap features after they purchased Nullsoft, but in interviews I’ve seen with Justin Frankel (the developer) they’ve gotten their act together, skipped version number 4.0 and have put out a good full-featured yet sleek player again. Download it.
Oh, another cool thing they’ve released is Nullsoft Streaming Video…so I may be getting together a little internet TV project going here soon. One more project to add to the pile, but it’s exciting to consider the potential. In the current version of Winamp you can view ‘Internet TV’. Earlier this evening I was watching a channel with Japanese Pop Music Videos (jpop). I saw a jaw-droppingly absurd rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’ by a girl who obviously does not speak english. She was singing phonetically, but the part that made it so horrible was that the video was so earnest and schmaltzy. I wish I could show you.
iTunes…
iTunes is okay
