Producing A (Virtual) Free Bollywood MP3 Download Web Site

 

My niece loves Indian films and Indian film music. To her, equally to about of the earth, this galore, colorful, attached and just-plain-fun genre is summarized up in one word: Bollywood.

 

I profess that I've become taken with Bollywood as happy, though non to the duplicate extent equally my niece, who has a amount of Indian movies and on a regular basis splits others. The Bollywood well is so bad that I take to hold myself to watching those hardly a of its outputs that bubble up to take the attending of American movie readers. Otherwise I imparted be lost in Indian ocean of unfamiliar with movie titles, workers and actresses.

 

My niece besides hoards CDs of Bollywood medicine. There's an Asian marketplace good her house that provides a cornucopia of them. Only she has the same problem opting CDs to buy that I do settling which Bollywood movie Crataegus oxycantha be worth my time. Unless she's seen the film from which a soundtrack derives, she's usually in the dark equally to whether a unique CD's songs and artists are ones she will enjoy.

 

At her request, I set up a room for her to preview a variety of Bollywood songs and even to live with them on her iPod for a while, all for Loose. This room she can hold knowing decisions about which CDs she ultimately purchases.

 

First, I searched for Indian music Web sites, and specifically for those devoted to Bollywood, or at least modern popular music (every bit opposed, say, to classical Indian ragas). I found several good ones, with names such every bit Bollywood earth and India FM.

This Smooth, Polished Rock Is Actually A Coby MP3 Player

Has Coby dared go down the same route as Apple, by releasing an MP3 player sans controls? It's not clear how the Micro player works, but judging by the lack of buttons it'd appear the controls are in the headphones.

I do like the design though, and as it's Coby it'll probably be dirt cheap too. Inside, 2GB of storage will hold your choons, and it can be connected to your PC via USB. Battery life is just five hours, via the Lithium Polymer battery. No word on when this mysterious little device will launch, nor for how much. [Coby via Chip Chick via Geeky-Gadgets]

@The Dead Marxist Trio Actually, the 666 is the number of kHz of AM frequency. In North and South America, the kilohertz of AM is counted by 10s. 1000, 1010, 1020 and so forth. In the rest of the world the kHz of AM is counted by 9s. 721, 730, 739 and so forth. The 666kHz frequency is actually used by the Greek Public Radio as the classical music station. I would have loved to have such a stereo in May 2001 as the government closed a lot of radio stations in the Athens area including the only decent rock station in Athens.The excuse? They interfered with air traffic communication of the new airport. If you believe that... I recorded as much of their last transmission on a boom box with a cassette. A VCR for radio is something that I have seen come and go, but I'll be surprised if it ever is sold outside of Japan. I could sure use one.

most of the Web sites I found offered song samples, meaning 30-second or 1-minute snippets. Some got full audio streams that allowed the visitor to listen to continuous Bollywood music for as long every bit she or he might want. It was these latter that provided the first half of our solution.

 

Normally, streaming audio, such equally what you hear over an Internet radio send, cannot be saved or downloaded. New software program, though, makes it possible to show the stream to your hard drive for replaying every bit often as you like.

 

Even better, some of the newest audio capture software incorporates something called an mp3 splitter. This computer software is able to break the audio stream into class mp3 song files. By the means, this is utterly legal, because you're simply showing a broadcast, the identical equally when you phonograph record a TV show on your VHS. Voila -- we given the second half of our solution.

 

Between the audio streams and splitter/showing software package, we created our own vital Bollywood mp3 download sites.

 

Now whenever my niece is in a mode to search the latest tuneful offerings from Bollywood, she snaps on her favorite Indian-medicine Internet radio post, then starts the putting down software package. Pretty soon she has enough Bollywood mp3s to shuffle complete for the rest of the week, and she's almost assured to find two or three that will spur her to take a trigger to the CD bin down at the Asian memory.
