Your Best Media Player

So I mentioned Songbird the other day. The problem with this one open-source software is probably there's not enough people using it. It's got a lot better mac support but website-wise, the version-matching and add-on software is a little messed up. And there's some issue with the searching code. Main reason I used it was because I wanted to sort my folders like I mentioned before.

And I also checked out Spotify. Forget ITunes, this one's amazing. But it's still quite new so it doesn't have stuff like various languages (I think). Apparently, there's some update for better software but I have no idea. It lets you stream music from a bunch of your friends whatever they have on their own computer, transfer music to your ipod, and stream really good music. Online, there is some pretty good similar artist search on Spotify.

Heh, for similar artists, I used to go to last.fm all the time. I might actually go search for better ones because what I did started up like many years ago. Man, I really never checked all this stuff out while I was in college. But now that I have free time, I can see all this new stuff, software, and learn more about it.

Reason for this blog I just made

I really have no idea why I posted this blog in the first place. It's probably because of my head injury and I know I can practically do nothing I used to or enjoy it for a few months. But I can say, after my head injury, I've been learning a lot of old knowledge about my computer stuff and just making my computer a better, more convenient piece of work that people would never hope to stop using.

So there ya go, read up if you want. If you don't want, that's cool too.

Songbird, your mp3 software

Why use songbird? Cuz Itunes is one messed up little bitch that can't organize your folders and files and naming even when you download and rename. Songbird is extremely organized but it could use some more windows programmers. But I still love it even on windows. I renamed everything so when I do what I want which is mainly playing it on my computer or my car, I can be really comfortable about it.

There's also additional add-ons on songbird that people would love. Some people like me wanna play guitar tabs from the songs we know. Songbird has that. Others wanna know the lyrics and just sing with it. Songbird also has that. Another thing I love to do is to find similar artists from the good ones I found. SAME THING. Songbird has it all. Get that shit.
