How to get Great New Music Delivered to you daily for Free – and it’s Legal!

If you’re like me, you probably have already given up on commercial FM music stations and instead joined the Ipod revolution. The problem with this is that it does not matter if your music library has 5000, 10000 or even 30000 thousand songs in it, if you listen to it long enough it will begin to get repetitive and you will begin to crave new music.

So how do you find new music, sure you could read the music reviews, or follow the iTunes suggestions, but these can be time consuming and often misleading. So why not follow the method I have been using lately.

There are a number of Podcasts that deliver DRM free music to subscribers on a daily basis. Two of my favourites are:-

Triple J – New Music Podcast

KCRW’s Today’s Top Tune

These two Podcasts are created by radio stations that take new music very seriously. The files are in the MP3 format. And all have a BitRate of at least 125kps. If you know of any other Music Podcasts, feel free to suggest them to me.

Once you have started receiving music via these services the next tip is to move the music from your iTunes Podcast library to your iTunes Music library. This has taken quite a bit of research on my part but I have discovered a method to do this my modifying the files ID3 tags.

It sounds complicated but it’s not really. mp3tag – Univeral Tag Editor is a great free program for doing this.

1. Locate the mp3 file or files you want to modify using “File – Add Directory”.

2. Highlight the file or files and right click on them

3. Select the “Extended Tags” option

4. Under Metadata you will see “ITUNESPODCAST=1”

5. Highlight this and delete it, you will be left with “ITUNESPODCAST=blank”

6. Make any other changes to the Artist and Song name tags that you feel appropriate.

7. Save your changes, the MP3 file is now ready to be added to your iTunes Music Library.

If you have any feedback on this method please leave me a comment.

This is probably our favourite TV Show at the moment. Summer Heights High is an Australian comedy that airs on the ABC Wednesday’s at 9:30pm. The great news is that it also available as a Podcast. Hilarious, absurd and frequently shocking Summer Heights High reveals a world where small issues become huge, social groups are important, careers are built, young minds are moulded, hopes are shattered and dreams are realised.

Shutter’s Inc – Podcast

I have listened to a number of Podcasts relating to the subject of Digital Photography. Most of them struggle to convey what is a visual medium in the audio format. However Shutter’s Inc is a cut above the rest. Pro Photographer, Shelton Muller, brings a week by week digital SLR camera review, along with all kinds of photography tips and techniques. Bruce Williams does a great job hosting the show, and an even better job editing it to provide a high quality Podcast. Episodes are released once a week around midday Sunday (GMT).

Review

5 STAR

In 1992 Bruce Springsteen released “57 Channels and Nothing On” a spirited attack on the lack of creative Television programming being broadcast throughout the US, now in 2007 he releases “Radio Nowhere” a full force attack on networked syndicated radio and there bland non challenging playlists. While Bruce may have used comedy to make his point against Television, when it comes to Radio industry, he uses the full force of the now legendary E-Street Band to blast his point home. This song is High Energy, the lyrics are simple but full of energy and highly additive “Is anyone out there,” “I want to here a thousand guitars” he cries. The chorus brings it home “I just want to hear some rhythm”. This song is brilliant, it’s what many of us old music heads have been looking for, and cements Bruce’s position as a legend of the industry.
