When Stian, a friend of mine, came to me a few days ago and told me I could now find his music on various online music services I just had to find out how. It’s no secret that record companies are becoming more and more uselss with most of them being sadistic about both stealing the artist’s money and chase pirates, but I was unaware of just how easy it had become to publish music on your own. There are apparently several ways to go about this using various services that do the work for you, but the one Stian used is called Zimbalam . You basically pay them €30 (Euro, a little over $40) and your album will then magically appear on various music services a few weeks later. These include Amazon MP3, iTunes, Spotify, eMusic, Napster and Rhapsody as well as some smaller services. This of course doesn’t help you with the recording part of the production process, and while the artist in this case made all the music using various computer software, most artists will need to record the album first. Still, there’s a lot of potential for this kind of service both for smaller unknown artists who record at home or at concerts and it brings down the cost of getting out there considerably. Digital downloads of music is the future for sure, and not having to worry about everything that goes with a CD release opens for a lot of new music to be released. If you want to check out Stian’s masterpieces and see proof that €30 is really all you need, you can now find him on iTunes , Amazon and eMusic among others.

Jaewoo Kim is a designer and student at Art Center College of Design that loves to design cases for MP3 players. A few months ago he sent me a hand made case for the Samsung P3 . It was a cool project and like nothing i have ever seen from any of the other case manufactures. However there were some issues that didn’t make the case practical, the shape just didn’t allow the case to be secured properly. But as all students do, they constantly learn from their experiences. Enter Jaewoo’s second round- the Point Zero ONE Zune HD case. In this round i am truly impressed with what he has crafted out of a sheet of thick plastic. This sheet is cleverly folded much like a complex piece of origami to protect your Zune HD. The tolerances are tight, lining up perfectly with the screen and dimensions of the player. All of the ports and buttons are easily accessible. These cases sell for $10-12 on Jaewoo’s site . If you want something truely unique and would like to help put a talented design student though school check it out below.

The IPod is a gadget widely used all over the world by many people. Through so far, you might be deceived by its software’s usefulness. So if you want to transfer files from your IPod to a PC, it might be problematic. Because if the computer you want to transfer files to is not the main one having your version of Itunes: you will not be able to do such a transfer.

IPod doesn’t allow transfer to other computers, because of the copy protection system that’s designed to protect the copyrights of the music downloaded from iTunes. It seems to be a good protection scheme. Many people have been faced with this problem: what will happen if they do reinstall their OS, or if they buy a totally new computer system ? They have all the rights in the world to listen to their music whenever they want, on their computer or on their iPod, and Apple it’s restricting that right.
Transferring files from your IPod to your computer also answer another need; being able to backup your songs archives. There’s also a high probability to have more than one computer, for example a desktop computer and a laptop, and to need your music library from iTunes on both of them. Those situations were not considered at all by Apple but hopefully, there are some safe and legitimate solutions to transfer from iPod to PC in any situation. For now, to shorten the whole article, you will find all those infos and a lot more on the sites I show you before. So as a last note: you can transfer your files from the IPod to your PC. Doing so easily and without any problems is feasible. Besides you will not lose anything in the process.
