"Remember Jammie Thomas? Yeah, you know, the woman taken to court by six large record label for making music available for people to share on the Internet. Well, get this: she’s not only been found guilty, but she’s been ordered to pay $220,000 in compensation. $220,000!
Thomas was fined $9,250 for every song she illegally made available on her Kazzaa account, which she said she didn’t own in her defense. She was found guilty of sharing 24 songs, although what these songs are was undisclosed. Apparently she shared some 1,702 songs in all.
The lowest she could have been made to pay was $750 per song, so you can be sure that they are trying to make an example out this poor woman with the massive amount of money they’ve called her out for.
This is a landmark ruling, and it’s one that’s sure to send ripples through the music industry. Are we to all live in fear now that the record labels are starting to bite back? This is just the beginning, and you can be sure that more cases will follow.
What’s big news here is the excessive amount of money Jammie Thomas has to pay. The 24 songs are worth, what, $24? Thomas did the same as millions of people around the world do every day.
The world has gone mad."

Homegrown music?
You know how people go on American Idol looking to be "big stars"? Well I suppose that a service like Soundclick is a place to turn for those who didn't make it. They might have sounded bad on American Idol, but actually I was amazed by some of the unknown artists placing their music on Soundclick. Take this artist, auditory, rap isn't exactly my favorite music, but they do a pretty good job creating their own beats.

QTrax: Free Legal Mp3 Downloads

What does qTrax offer?
Free Legal Mp3 Downloads of course. But seriously, qTrax tells use ,"Qtrax is NOT just another P2P network, yet everything is legal. My question is of course is, if this is another p2p service, how will users be able to share files, yet keep everything legal? They are claiming that the advertising used in this service helps pay for the cost of each one of the downloads we make on the site. That and perhaps the lack of newly released music makes qTrax a very viable option for downloading music.

Converting YouTube Videos to Mp3
1. Visit YouTube.com and save the URL.. http://....
2. Visit VidtoMp3.com and paste the Url
3. Hit Convert
4.Wait... and after conversion simply download the mp3
What to use this for?
Though the sound quality of YouTube mp3s are usually not that great, it is a great option to save sound from a music video that you just couldn't find anywhere else. Though I don't prefer this method, it is a great solution for unknown music on YouTube (when you can't figure out the artist)

The "Free Full Mp3 Album Download" Site I Use
Lately, I've been using full-albums.net when I really need an album. I can't promise this site is in anyway legit, only that I have gotten an album or two off this site with very little effort. Take Marsmobil - Minx, an album I recently downloaded off the site. I had been unable to locate it anywhere else, so I took the chance and got my "Free Full Mp3 Album Download" from full-albums.net.

Ever growing mp3 collection
Just how large is my mp3 collection? I downloaded over 120 gbs of music, much of it legal. I use services like spacelab to find music that makes my friends go, huh who was that? It's perfect if you own a cafe or a nightclub.
Visit Spacelab
