So anyway, I’m sure some of you may have read my post about Live365, I may have made some comments about the harmful effects of letting people listen to good music for free. I take back most of what I said.
After having listened to various radio stations on Live365, especially a Modern Rock Classics station, I’ve found a whole lot of artists I absolutely love.
I mean, I haven’t heard all of their songs, but from what little I’ve heard I want to listen to more.
Being big on music, I’m probably going to invest a little money in some of these artists.
So the upside of letting people listen to good music is that sooner or later someone will want to add to their own collection of music and will end up buying atleast one CD.
Of course, the downside is that, if you’re half as cheap as some of the people I know you’re probably going to pick the few bands you like and then just download their music. Which is why you’ll notice I said that I take back only most of what I said from my previous post and not everything.
I still believe that in the long run we’re only starving the artists, or at least the upcoming ones by not buying music.
I don’t mind saying that I’ll even advertise for these artists (especially the new and upcoming / good ones…) so please do save up and buy some legit music so that people won’t stop being creative and will continue to provide us with good NEW music…
That’s it for now.. but will surely be back with more soon…
Most of my friends love and really enjoy music. The few who didn’t have been converted.
Music is so easily available off the internet today that one doesn’t even really need to spend any money to listen to good music.
Of course in the long run, we’re only punishing our selves by not paying the artists, but more on that in another post.
For those of you who have a decent internet connection (I’m assuming at least something that offers download speeds of anything more than 30kb/s) you can just log onto and browse through the genre of your choice and pick a radio station and listen to music.
Sure, the downside is that you can’t really listen to a specific song, but if it’s a popular song in a particular genre there’s always a good chance that some radio station will be playing it at the same time that you want to hear it.
But other than that you can listen to just about all kinds of music ranging from rock, classical, jazz, gospel to even Sermons being Preached.
I’m just going to assume that some of you who do goto that website will sign up there under the VIP section and pay them so they can pass on some of the funds to the artists and thus ‘keep the music flowing’.
I know there are quite a few other radio sites out there, but I’m not sure there are many as comprehensive as this one with as many radio stations as well.
