I have a friend in a band, and a fairly successful one for an unsigned, local group. They are slowly making their way in the music world, and have been gaining a lot more attention on a national scale thanks to the internet. They are really good, and I am always thrilled to know they are managing to garner some success.
If you are like me you want music to listen to while you work. But sometimes you don’t have that option if you are on a computer with no music on it. Of course this is always Pandora radio online, but I thought about giving something else a try. After hearing this program mentioned in a tweet from one of my friends and seeing it referenced in some Facebook statues I found the program spotify. This program in a nutshell is an online media player that allows you to search for some of your favorite bands and listen to the music at work or on the go. It’s a free application that is compatible with windows, Linux, Macintosh, android, blackberry, ios, and more. In the video I mentioned that the mobile app wasn’t free, but I have to correct myself. The mobile application is free, but to remove adds from the application does cost money. I apologize for that mix up.....

But most don't seem to have a wide array of features that allow you to integrate it all onto multiple devices. Not until Short Wave, formerly RadioZ. It streams multiple radio stations, selected by you, onto your Mac in one place. Then gives you the chance to sync it up to listen on an iPhone or iPad.

I wanted to sound like Paris Hilton (it is an old inside joke), and I decided to try and Google some kind of soundboard. What I found was actually way better, and definitely unexpected. I discovered Dubbler, a great app that allows you to record up to 60 seconds of audio, then tweak it with their filters.
Is it just me, or do artists these days have a serious case of mush-mouth? While it used to be an occasional problem that a lyrics was misheard, now it had become a really common occurrence. Most music seems to have at least one clear line, and I could name a dozen songs off the top of my head that somehow manage to make the chorus unclear.
