Meep’s Musings

Head over to www.coldplay.com and download the first single of the upcoming album “Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends” called “Violet Hill” for free. You better hurry though because it’s only available for a week. If the single is any indication, it’s going to be a fantastic album - I’m looking forward to it!

Anybody who uses a computer has had the problem: you have a multimedia file, but it’s the wrong format for your player. Or you want to extract audio from a ripped DVD file but don’t have the right program. Another scenario: you have a Quicktime movie you want to edit on a Windows PC. Without further ado: I think I might have found the solution!

Despite my rant from a few days ago, I have managed to get my hands on the mentioned bonus tracks (thanks to 12chen again!). They’re called “Goodbye (Demo version)” and “Pebble in the Brook”.

These are music genres I never knew even existed… and there are more! Like Finger-Picked Guitar, Afro-Brazilian, Dream Pop, Honky Tonk, Appalachian Folk or Neo-Traditionalist Country. I found them at Download.com, upon which I have stumbled via Tonspion. They are both very good sources for legally downloading lots of mp3s from all sorts of artists, covering the genres above and a few more conventional ones like Indie Pop, R&B or House ;). I’m currently listening to my prey of over 80 songs, and so far I’m almost liking all of them. Btw, the mp3s are usually encoded at 192kb/s (=better quality) and are not restricted in any way. Happy downloading :)!
