Broadband and Mobile Phones Have Become Our Avenues to Continuous Music

March 16th, 2010

Through most of the last century can you imagine what would have happened to some poor guy who speculated that someday we would use the same instrument to call our business colleagues and play our favorite music.  Yet, most new cell phones can do just that, especially the mobile phones carried by younger people.

And, of course, in the major portion of the 20th century, nobody would have envisioned the Internet.  Even into the 1990s, our current Internet speeds with broadband connections would have seemed like a distant dream.  Wrong!  Ten years later the majority of us are connect to broadband services.  High quality streaming music to our computers has moved well beyond the pipe dream stage long ago–well, I guess, it hasn’t really been all that long.

Napster, started as a free trading music set, but it has transformed itself into the holder of the largest music catalog on the entire Internet–over seven million titles and still growing.  While it is not free, as it was in the wild days of the early Internet, it is still an amazing bargain.  The site provides what is widely regarded as the greatest bargain for music fans with a three month introductory subscription, with renewals at the same low rates.  Three months will give you a good sense of what the service has to offer, and I strongly suspect that you’ll decide to renew.  A lot of people have maintained a membership for years.

For the widely recommended three month plan you get five download credits per month plus bonus credits.  Included in the plan is the reason that most people subscribe in the first place–unlimited (!) streaming music.  You can listen to the entire catalogs of your favorite artists or, if you prefer, entire albums of a variety of artists.  There are also over a thousand interactive, genre playlists.  They even have a streaming radio station.

The music that you select to download as part of your subscription can be played on any MP3 device, including a number of lesser know brands plus the extremely popular Ipod and Zune players.  In fact, if you cell phone has this option, you can even carry the music you’ve downloaded from Napster on that, as well.

With your three month membership downloads, you receive unrestricted rights, so you can put your music onto various of your players.  You can even burn a CD for yourself.

Any musical genre you can think of is well represented.  I’m sure you’ll find your favorite on the list, unless you are like me and listen to music from a wide variety of genres.  Among those genres are rock, pop, classical, R&B, musical soundtracks, Christian, jazz, comedy, and the list goes on.

All of this is just $15 for the three months of delightful musical saturation at Napster.com.  Face it, that’s cheaper than a fast food lunch for three.

In recent years cable television companies have been adding many services to their television services.  One of these new services, digital telephone, has started to really take off in popularity as customers realize just how easy it is to use.Phone service has traditionally been a necessary, but annoying, service to use with its high rates for long distance calls, the games played by the telephone companies, and the necessity of paying one more bill each month.  With cable-based telephone services, most of these problems are eliminated.  There is still a bill to pay, but it is much less than normal telephone companies charge and it can be rolled in with other services such as cable and Internet, thus saving you a little bit of time each month.And, these digital phone plans are known for their incredible values and low costs.  No matter how you look at it, switching to cable’s digital telephone service seems like a great option. Try Home Telephone Promotions Today!

The convenience of using your cable provider for your telephone service cannot be overstated.After all, sorting through bills and dealing with separate providers for your services takes time even when you are dealing with the best run companies.  When you combine all of your service under one bill and one account, it is possible to manage them more effectively.  With most cable companies, you also get the advantage of discounts for your telephone service when you also use the company’s other services.  This can save you even more money in addition to saving you time. 

Of course, saving money and time is not worth it unless you are getting a quality product.  With digital telephone services, you can be assured that you are getting nothing less than the best.  Digital Telephone Services are the most advanced in the world.  They use the latest technologies and the most advanced equipment in order to provide your service.  This means your conversations will be clear and that you will be able to use the most advanced calling features.  In fact, cable telephone plans include tons of the nation’s favorite calling features in with every plan.  Caller ID, call blocking, call waiting, three way calling- the list goes on and on.  Each of these features is certain to make your service easier to use and much more convenient for you.  And, if you spend a lot of time away from home, you even have some great options for making sure you receive your calls.  Between the digital voice mail system and call forwarding, you never have to miss another important call again.

With these digital phone plans, you also get the advantage of paying a set rate for your service each month.  Most telephone plans give you a base rate just to be able to make calls and then charge you per each minute you use the telephone.  With cable telephone service, you don’t have to worry about the per minute charges.  Your base rate is the rate you will pay no matter how many minutes you spend talking to people in the US or Canada.  This eliminates the need to monitor how long you have spent on long distance during the month or to fear getting your telephone bill.What is really great is that, even though you get unlimited long distance, your bill will probably be similar to the base charge of a traditional phone service provider.

Is That Some Kind of Song I Hear Coming Out of Your Phone?

July 19th, 2009
Comments Off

Who would have believed, even through most of the last century, that the same device we use to contact friends or business associates could also be used to provide us with our favorite music.  Yet, most new cell phones can do just that, especially the mobile phones carried by younger people.

And, of course, in the major portion of the 20th century, nobody would have envisioned the Internet.  Even into the 1990s, our current Internet speeds with broadband connections would have seemed like a distant dream.  Wrong!  Ten years later the majority of us are connect to broadband services.  High quality streaming music to our computers has moved well beyond the pipe dream stage long ago–well, I guess, it hasn’t really been all that long.

The Napster people had something of a rocky start as the location where music enthusiasts could find each other and, using Napster’s amazing technology, trade their music files over the Internet.  No money ever changed hands.  It was a bit like selling bootleg CDs except that nobody made any income from it.  In fact it was the free part of the model that bothered the recording artists and record labels.  Eventually Napster settled with the recording industry, with a huge financial settlement at Napster’s expense.  They learned their lesson well enough to completely change their business model.

Napster, the same business that started as just a vehicle for peer-to-peer music exchanges, has now become the owner of the largest music catalog on the Internet, with over seven million titles.  It is still a terrific bargain, even though it is no longer free in the days when it was in hot water with the music industry.  They offer various plans, but the best all around deal is a three month membership, which can be renewed if you still haven’t satisfied your music thirst.  Three months will give you a good sense of what the service has to offer, and I strongly suspect that you’ll decide to renew.  A lot of people have maintained a membership for years.

For a remarkably low price, you receive five download credits and special bonus download credits as a subscription bonus.  You also get unlimited streaming audio, which, believe me is great!  You can listen to the entire catalogs of your favorite artists or, if you prefer, entire albums of a variety of artists.  They have over a thousand pre-made mix lists, and those are interactive.  They even have a streaming radio station.

The music that you select to download as part of your subscription can be played on any MP3 device, including a number of lesser know brands plus the extremely popular Ipod and Zune players.  In fact, if you cell phone has this option, you can even carry the music you’ve downloaded from Napster on that, as well.

With your three month membership downloads, you receive unrestricted rights, so you can put your music onto various of your players.  You can even burn a CD for yourself.

There is a huge list of musical genres.  If you are similar to me, you choose from a lot of different genres, but if your tastes are more specific, you will certainly find your favorite genre.  Among those genres are rock, pop, classical, R&B, musical soundtracks, Christian, jazz, comedy, and the list goes on.

You can surround yourself with your own selected music and never repeat a song for three months for only fifteen dollars at Napster.com.  Where can you find that much pleasure at that price?
