MP3 Library, Starbucks, Popular Ways, and Synchronizer
Here are some MP3 finds from Monday, January 29, 2007.
Alpha Geek: Whip your MP3 library into shape, Part II - Album art
If you’re an iTunes/iPod user, you’re in luck: iTunes 7 handles album art quite nicely, retrieving it automatically when you’re signed into the iTunes Store and copying it to your iPod when you sync. However, it doesn’t actually embed the artwork into your music files, so if you migrate to a different ecosystem, your album art stays behind.
Starbucks: Your Personal MP3 Store?
Starbucks has been creating a gathering location for people to sit, read, surf the web with free internet access and at the same time they are providing background music. The difference between Starbucks and other coffee shops is that when someone hears a song they like there is now a good chance that the album is right there for purchase.
The MP3 file is one of the most popular ways to store music on computers and portable audio players
The MP3 file is one of the most popular ways to store music on computers and portable audio players today. The main reason MP3 became popular was because it compressed large audio files into much smaller sized files and still had good sound quality. But another advantage of MP3 files is that there are many software programs available that allow you to edit the sound and remove unwanted noises like pops and scratches. Editing software can also be used to adjust the overall sound level of an audio file.
