Music can help you fight through a case of the Mondays and amp you up for tedious tasks, but not every workplace is designed for letting the beat build over speakers. If you don't have iTunes set up on your work computer, but your work allows streaming, join the 84 percent of geeksugar readers who use Internet radio. These discreet work-friendly sites will let you get your jam on for free (or a Read more
I had a good guffaw this morning with my co-workers over the old Columbia House deal from back in the day when you'd get 10 CDs for a penny, and agreed to buy a certain amount of CDs for a certain amount of time. At 14, the deal seemed like I was getting away with something crazy, but I realized later that I was in my first music subscription. It was also my last music subscription. One of the Read more
Every good host knows you can't throw a party without good music, starting with crafting a great playlist. Once you have that, though, people still might have song requests, so let them be the DJ without having to keep getting on your playlist to change the song. Here are some fun ways to create a jukebox using the gadgets you may already have: Download the free Fluid Tunes (pictured above) for Read more
That fallout was quick: Billboard reports that due to last week's raise in iTunes prices for popular songs to $1.29, many of those popular songs have dropped in download ranking (that's one way to get them back down to 99 cents!). Personally, the only time I download single songs from iTunes is for popular songs (you know, the ones you can't get out of your head and need to have now), but I'm Read more
If you have an iTunes library that's missing a few beats (you know, like artist info, track names, and album cover art), then you must head over to TuneUp. 'Cause not only is it a drag to spend hours loading up your iTunes library with all your vintage (read: oh-so-early millennium) CDs that you just can't let go of (or albums that you've had burned to discs), but it's even worse to have to go Read more
It's pretty embarrassing to find out you've been singing the wrong lyrics to a song (marmoset instead of 'mama says', for example), but the download TuneLyrics can save you. As a companion to iTunes, TuneLyrics populates the words to each song you listen to as the songs change in a separate window. If it happens to not know the lyrics to a particular track, it lets you know and suggests a Google Read more
Times, they are a changin'. I used to shop for the most stylish CD shelves, now the only storage I look for for music is on a hard drive. I don't miss having to find a creative way to keep all my plastic boxes, but I do miss shopping in a record store for new music. But since I'm all about de-cluttering these days, I've sold back all my CDs (except for a couple discs, for sentimental value) and Read more
At last week's Let's Rock event, a little thing Steve announced was overshadowed by stuff like new iPods and a fix-all iPhone update: Genius! Part of the iTunes 8 update, Genius is a fun new feature for iTunes and iPods, which, I admit, didn't impress me at all when I was first hearing about it. How silly I was! A week later, I'm obsessed with Genius. Why? Getting suggestions of music to buy is Read more
I'm a little ashamed to tell you how much I spend on music every month — iTunes and my credit card are now BFFs. So if there were a way for me to get some money back just for buying songs, you know I'd be totally down with that. Enter Popcuts – a new music site that rewards you every time another customer buys the same song you did. Stocked with emerging indie artists from around the globe, Read more
