Say bye-bye to Illegal music downloads?Written by Syd Johnson
Both Napster and Microsoft Music Service are working on new way to get customers to download music file to their iPod and otherportable mp3 players for less than $1 per song. Actually, significantly less. Both of these music service are working on a way allow customers to downloads as much music as they want as long as it goes directly to an iPod or similar portable music player.This is great news for customers who still think $1 per song is too steep. Although price model words for one song, 10 songs or even 100 songs, it starts getting outrageous when you go by factors of ten. If an iPod holds 10,000 songs and you want to fill it up, you would have to spend $10,000. Most people can fill up iPod in less than a year. Unfortunately, they probably won’t spend $10,000 on music, in any single year. So, what you could have is a legal product, iPod, being used to hold thousands of illegal songs because space is there. (assuming iPod would be open later on to all mp3 formats.) Napster has a workaround Napster is first to announce that it is working on a subscription model that would allow it’s user to pay a cheap subscription fee with no restrictions on how many songs they can download. By their estimates, a user can probably download 10,000 songs for about $180. Unfortunately, Napster system does not work with iPod so customers can only take advantage of this offer if they purchase either of two Napster approved portable mp3 players.

You can find lots of free mp3 to wave converters online. An mp3 to wave converter will take your compact mp3 files and reproduce them in wave format. This is a great way to convert burn mp3 files onto a blank CD because you won’t lose any of sound quality and you can play CD in any commercial CD player.This kind of utility is especially great if you don’t have mp3 capabilities in your car and you want to download some of your favorite tunes and take them with you while driving. You can a free mp3 to wave converter from winamp. Just log onto their website and go plugins section. You will have an entire menu of free mp3 to wave converter applications. Make sure that you are picking right version of plugin for your software. While you’re there, if you haven’t done so already update your copy of winamp to get latest upgrades and media options. I like them because they are reliable and free. Where else can I find free mp3 to wave converter applications? All over web. You can do a quick search on any major search engine to find a long list of software and media development type of sites with links to other free mp3 to wave converter programs, or even to their own creations. Some of them will charge and it is up to you to determine if that is okay. If you are a professional media developer or you do mass music file conversions then that would be great. Otherwise, I would highly recommend free plugins. They are easy to use, don’t require much space on your hard drive and come with lots of online documentation.
