How to take advantage of these new tools is still being explored within the industry and interestingly different things seem to work well for different artists. Just because one idea or gimmick worked for one band doesn’t mean it’ll work for another. However in the following pages we’ve gone through some of the things to explore.

There are simply thousands of online radio stations now ranging from the 15 year old in his bedroom to the huge multinationals. At the moment most users listen through their static computers but new technology like the iPhone with its 3G connection is now allowing people to listen to it on the move as well. One important thing to note is that few online radio stations currently report to or pay copyright royalties on the music they air but if all after are promotional opportunities then this won’t matter to you.

As with all promotional work it’s essential to target where one is sending his music to make sure it’s suitable. There is simply no point sending beautifully crafted acoustic singer/songwriter piece to a Hip Hop station, one’s wasting his time and theirs. This can be done by researching the stations and shows that play the genre of music and then trying and targeting the DJs and producers of those shows.

It’s also worth really thinking about if the radio station has a bona fide audience or not. There are millions of radio stations available who literally no one listens to and so it’s again important to target the efforts to make sure they aren’t wasted. Websites like live365.com host hundreds of independent radio stations and rate them which can be a helpful guide to their audience size. Music can also be sent to each station by a link on their page or live365 also offer a paid service where they make the music available to all their DJs.

“Kickstart My Heart” – Motley Crue

This high-grade tune’s lyrics, written by recovered heroin addict, Nikki Sixx, are about how he not only knocked on heaven’s door, but briefly flung it wide open.  In 1987, Sixx OD’d on heroin, and was declared legally dead, until a paramedic literally gave his heart a kickstart with two shots of adrenaline.  Sixx even said that he was watching from above as the paramedic fought to bring him back to life.  The song’s lyrics celebrate the incident that led to his sobriety, and the new, drug-free ways he enjoys living on the edge:  “When I get high/I get high on speed/Top fuel funny car’s/A drug for me/My heart, my heart/Kickstart my heart.”

“Ziggy Stardust” – Davie Bowie

The lyrics to this Bowie classic are about a rock star who believes — and is destroyed by — his own hype.  Ziggy was, according to the lyrics, someone who “took it all too far/But, boy, could he play guitar.”  Becoming larger-than-life, he transforms into a self-absorbed, out-of-touch-with-reality superstar who treats his bandmates as little more than sidemen, and who feels vastly superior to his fans.  The lyrics tell the tale of how the kids catch on to Ziggy’s arrogance, and end up killing the monster they’d helped create:  “Making love with his ego/Ziggy sucked up into his mind/Like a leper messiah/When the kids had killed the man/I had to break up the band.”

“Rock Soldiers” – Ace Frehley

Original lead guitarist for KISS, and a recovered alcoholic, Ace Frehley wrote this song and its lyrics about a 1983 car crash that reminded him he wasn’t an indestructible rock god, but a regular, old-fashioned mortal.  The lyrics are about a drunken Frehley behind the wheel of his DeLorean, leading police on a high-speed chase the wrong way on the Bronx River Parkway.  The chase ended with a wreck that nearly killed Frehley.  Some of the lyrics about the infamous incident include, “With a trooper in the mirror/And Satan on my right/We went the wrong way down a one way road/Hitting everything in sight/I cried “I am invincible!”/Said I was high above the law/But my only high was just a lie/And now I’m glad I saw.”

“Rockstar” – Nickelback

Canadian hard rockers Nickelback take playful jabs at the rockstar lifestyle in these lyrics, and aren’t above satirizing themselves, as well, in the song.  They poke fun at their own rock stardom in the lyrics, “I want a new tour bus full of old guitars/My own star on Hollywood Boulevard,” referring to the collection of vintage guitars owned by Chad Kroeger, and the star they have on Canada’s Walk of Fame.  They also mock general rock star excesses throughout the song, including the lyrics, “We all just wanna be big rock stars/And live in hilltop boxes driving fifteen cars/The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap/We’ll all stay skinny ’cause we just won’t eat.”

These lyrics show what happens when rockers lose sight of the music and focus on the seemingly limitless celebrity lifestyle.  But they also show that when rockers look at that lifestyle in hindsight, it can inspire them to write some of their best songs!

The reason of course is that music download sites are in business to make as much money as possible.

Unfortunately for people like you and I who like to download vast amounts of music each month these music download sites would send us bust in next to no time.

And so it is that we go looking for the small number of unlimited music download sites to enable us to download as much music as we can handle.

For the sakes of this article I’m going to focus on my 3 favorite unlimited music download sites so we can take a closer look at what is available and hopefully help you to make an informed decision on which solution is best for you.

Option 1: Musicmatch

]]>

Musicmatch offers “unlimited” music downloads on a monthly basis but there is a small catch. You are more renting the tracks than buying them. You can download and listen to as many as you like, but if your membership expires for whatever reason, you will no longer be able to listen to your music.

Ah, you say to yourself, I’ll just get a month’s subscription, download everything I want and burn it to CD or put it on my Ipod but I’m afraid it’s not that simple. You see, Musicmatch only lets you listen to the tracks on your computer.

In order to be able to download music onto another device you have to buy them, and that’s when it starts to get expensive as you’re charged on a per-track basis. Ouch.

Option 2: Emusic

Emusic really is an unlimited music download site – and even better they offer a free 14 day trial so you can try them out without risk.

Feel free to download, burn and listen to as much music as you can handle at Emusic, just be aware that there aren’t as many major name bands as you’ll find at Musicmatch (though their list is growing all the time).

I personally think Emusic are great and offer an amazing music download service.

Option 3: P2P

P2P or peer-to-peer software like Kazaa allows you to download unlimited music – and with no monthly fees – if you’re willing to spend a small amount on buying and installing the software to begin with.

There are plenty of pieces of P2P software available but if you decide to investigate this option I would offer you two warnings. Firstly, make sure you’ve got some decent anti-virus software as you will find some of the music you download will contain some nasty files you don’t want hanging around on your computer.

Secondly, whilst P2P software *does* offer a truly unlimited music download service, be aware that not all tracks are legally available (i.e. some may be pirated) so be careful, keep your wits about you and if in any doubt, carry out additional research before you make the jump.

Discovering the best ways to burn free music legally has often been time consuming and plain boring for many people. This is simply because of the confusion that has been created around music downloading services which are known to have created legal problems for the users downloading tracks from their web sites.

Thanks to the Internet, people now have access to billions, if not hundreds of billions of files which allow them to burn free music from their favorite artists instantly. People no longer have to buy new cd’s since they can simply download and burn free music on the web without having to spend a dime on the music they want. This is something that has caused the major labels so much stress and has pushed most of them to chase music lovers with rediculus law suites in hopes of getting them to stop downloading their mp3 tracks for free. The key to avoiding a law suite is to simply find out where to burn free music legally, then use those web sites on a continuous basis.

The first thing you want to do is find multiple sites that let you burn free music legally is to visit a downloading music review site. These kind of sites usually review a growing number of music web sites that help people get all the goodies they need.

Once you get onto their sites, you’ll be directed to the top music downloading sites that don’t mind if you burn free music off their networks without having to spend a dime.
