  2. How to: making personal iTunes collections from free music

    Like to create a great collection of MP3 music that you could take with you on your iPhone, iPod or other iTunes friendly device?

    There's a lot of great music offered for free on the web in MP3 form, but the problem is most of it isn't organized or you have to navigate to a particular web site to listen to it. Examples: the MP3 of the Day from Acoustic Oasis, random MP3s posted by the Song-A-Week Social Group, and our own MP3 page.

    The purpose of this tutorial is to ...

  5. What Does The Declining Price of Recorded Music Mean?

    That ever growing stack of CDs in your house, they turn into little furry woodland creatures at night when you sleep. It's true, because when you awake they've bred and multiplied, only with different names, different genres and different musical instruments. More than enough clutter to justify one of the most famous lines from the movie The Graduate: "plastics."

    So we were happy to read that for the first time in history, sales of digital music downloads finally passed that of hard copy--CD, ...
  6. Luscious Octave Mandolin

    I don't usually 'advertise' but I was recently on Spruce Tree Music's (WI) website and they have a wonderful collection of Webers. This one really stood out and I thought somebody might be interested.

  7. Satan Is Real

Satan Is Real, The Ballad of the Louvin Brothers was written by Charlie Louvin with Benjamin Whitmer (Igniter press, published January 3, 2012 a year after Charlie's passing).

  9. Miniature Orchestra

    My Long Road To Mandolin

    I wonder if I could have arrived here sooner; there were periods where I was working on related efforts, like folk guitar (60s) rock guitar (70s) bluegrass (80s) and so on. But I started musical life as a violin player. After hearing my amateur mother and friends play chamber music, I begged for lessons at age three, and was granted my wish the following year.

    When I was older, my mother encouraged me to listen to and buy dance records so ...

  10. Selection Criteria

    In a recent thread a member posted a complete personal 6 point criteria for the purchase of a new mandolin. I started to comment, and found my comments were more distracting than helpful, and that they really contributed nothing to the original poster's questions.

    1 list your criteria

    2 divide ...
