Free Music for Your iPod

by 1 other
If you have an iPod and far fewer songs than Gigabytes of storage space, you’ve probably asked one of iLounge’s most popular questions: “how can I load my iPod up with free music?” There are at least two answers to this question, one generally illegal, and one generally legal. You’ve probably already heard about the illegal free music options, but just in case you haven’t, we’ll run through the reasons you’ll want to skip them and use the legal free music sites instead.

Wired 14.11: Very Short Stories

We'll be brief: Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.") and is said to have called it his best work. So we asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to take a shot themselves. Dozens of our favorite auteurs put their words to paper, and five master graphic designers took them to the drawing board. Sure, Arthur C. Clarke refused to trim his ("God said, 'Cancel Program GENESIS.' The universe ceased to exist."), but the rest are concise masterpieces.

TuneSleeve

by 2 others
Looking for a quick and easy way to fill out this blank square in your iTunes library? Want to make good use of those bright color pixels on your iPod screen? Feel like the CD jewel case inserts or the album listings you print with iTunes are boring without the album artwork? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you have come to the right place! Having personnally walked that path, I decided to face the music and actually put a face on my music by creating a software that would automatically download album art from the internet and save it to my iTunes library. My goals were: * Being able to work with albums, not individual songs. We're talking about album artwork after all, aren't we? * Being able to choose what artwork I want among all possible results found on the internet, because the CD cover for an original edition is not always the same as the 20th anniversary special edition. * In addition to automatic searching, being able to launch an external search in my browser and manually choose the artwork I want by dragging it from my browser to TuneSleeve. * Being able to download artwork for my entire library or a specific playlist. * Being able to exclude songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store, since they already come with good quality artwork. * Being able to exclude songs that already have album artwork, as I might already have spent some precious time manually finding and dragging album cover images for these songs. * Being able to replace existing artwork with the downloaded artwork or to add the downloaded artwork to the existing one, because the software might find a better quality album art than the one that is already there. In the end, realizing how useful it was and how well it worked, I decided to give it a nice, slick look & feel inspired from the iTunes user interface and make it available on the web for others to enjoy!

The Linux Equivalent Project - linuxeq.com

by 1 other (via)
From Download Squad: Say you've just hopped on the bandwagon and installed Linux, only to find that you favorite program isn't cross-platform and doesn't run too well under WINE. Enter the Linux Equivalent Project. Though it sounds grandiose, it's really just a simple--but very handy--guide to Linux apps that are "equivalent" to popular Windows programs. I put equivalent in scare quotes because we all know that many Windows apps have no true Linux equivalent (and vice versa, for that matter), but a recommended alternative is better than nothing. So, want an Adobe Premier alternative? Try Kino or Cinelerra. FrontPage? Try Quanta Plus. You get the idea. If you're thinking of making the switch, keep this one in your bookmarks.
