Unless you’re a dog, a whale, or a computer, you’re not going to be able to tell the difference between a good MP3 and CD audio.
Think you’re an audiophile? I’ll bet you beers you can’t tell the difference between 256 Kbps VBR MP3s and CD audio in a blind test.
Track Selection

Want to know why the music business is broken? Look at how Rolling Stone Magazine mismanages its most prized asset: five-star reviews.
Over the last two months, Rolling Stone Magazine published five-star reviews for three albums. Rolling Stone rating an album five stars is as rare as a four-leaf clover or a Bush apology. How did Rolling Stone announce this rare event? With a red carpet… [click here for full article]

How to visualize social networking.

I wanted to be able to explain to those new to social networking how all of the pieces fit together. Plus with feeds being shared back and forth, I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t creating any feed loops or leaving out any pieces. I use LinkedIn for business networking (my resume and… [click here for full article]

More reasons to proofread your feed.
I subscribe to Amazon’s New Music Releases feed, but Amazon omits basic information from its feed, such as the name of the artist. The NAME. Of the ARTIST. Is NOT IN THE FEED. This is feed malpractice.
Ray LaMontagne’s new album “Gossip In The Grain” is getting great reviews, but you’d never know it from Amazon’s feed. Here’s how… [click here for full article]

AI season 7 episode 37.
Three of them have been number one in the votes? That’s what Seacrest said.
Best to worst. Numbers are singing order.
5. David Cook - “Baba O’Riley.” The song, by The Whos, is often incorrectly called “Teenage Wasteland.” The beginning is much better than his last song. I hope he picks it up soon. When he gets the chorus… [click here for full article]

AI season 7 episode 35.
