LOL. Glad you enjoyed it. Me? I am now tired, LOL. Perhaps I'll respond to your other points later with some explanations but the truth is, I don't think we are very far from the same page. Kind of like "one ruins it for all".

I love your analogy about the speed limit.

I am with you, I think we are on the same page basically...*biggrin....

will get off my soapbox now....

LOL

Are we running for office??????

before I log off,

I wanted to say that this has been one of the most stimulating thing I did today...

thanks for what you've posted...I am an open person and will take what you've posted to heart and know that I don't have all the answers and that you have opened doors for me...

I really really appreciated it, Bearygoody....

have a great weekend

Thank you, who moi. I appreciate that. And the same to you for being willing to see the another side -- a side that I think is very easily cloaked.

Have a great night!

Have mercy, who gave him a double espresso?



My niece depends on royalties from albums and movie sales. She is not famous, not rich, and not paid unless there are sales. She is a studio vocalist among thousands of other "hidden" musicians and artists trying to earn a living in a tough business. Downloading "free" music is taking food off my baby's table.

Whew catching up on this one...
Thanks for the input everyone - that's one reason I asked -
I didn't know what the status was of those kind of sites,
or if any legit ones were out there.
I haven't gotten any music off the internet in years...

I was wanting to get a few songs for my photo dvds that I'm working on, I dug out my music CDs and got a few songs off them.

Just a thought...

A couple of years ago I downloaded just about every song I ever loved. Can't remember the website, but I paid about 50 cents each for them, so it was legit.

DH and I made our own (very expensive) CDs to listen to.

Not long after that, I discovered XMRadio and wondered why in the world I paid so much for all that music! I can just tune in to my favorite soft rock stations and not have to worry about CDs.

True, you do have to get a special radio and subscribe, but I find it easier than sorting through stacks of CDs.

Jo, don't know if you have iTunes installed on your computer but if not, you can download it very easily here. Here's the iTunes U.S. download site: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
