I don’t want to get into exactly what this tool “may or may not be used for” , but let’s just say that HarddiskOgg is a free tool that lets you capture any sound that play through your computer sound card or microphone. Here is a small screen shot of what it looks like:

It works better if you download and use the Lame Mp3 driver to go along with it…just paste it in the same folder as HarddiskOgg. You can also use this to capture streaming audio of a “work meeting” being broadcast or maybe if “your band” has an MP3,RealMedia, or Windows Media file that is playing off a site, you can capture the audio and save it as an Mp3 file.

This is one of those cool tools that “newbies” may not know of…I still consider myself a “newbie”, so I just watn to share this info with you.

I actually used this program to capture sound from my microphone that I used for a Macromedia Flash animation that I was working on. I can think of many great uses for this neat little tool.

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you guys know that I found a very cool site about a month ago and I just decided to post it. Click the title above to go to Bill Harvey’s Music site. I found it to be very interesting and just “cool” to look at.

WINAMP.COM | Plug-ins

You can play your iPod using Winamp if you use this cool plugin. I haven’t tried it, but after reading the reviews, I am
getting ready to download it.

Someone sent me this imaged “reportedly” from Star Wars Episode III…could it be an intergalactic cross promotional plan? Who knows? Does Darth Vader even own an iPod? Did I ever tell you that Steve Jobs is my hero?

Sure, you’ve heard of Audiostiles, the company that makes personal playlists at a $35/hour fee plus a $15 iTunes fee…If you are on a limited budget, you should head on over to WebJay.Org and take a look at some amateur Web Jay’s or DJ’s on the web. You can find some really great tracks compiled by fans of music. The best part is that most of the songs can also be downloaded for free at WebJay.

I know that I have said it before , but Blogdigger’s Media search is the best tool to find “new” music. It isn’t the best for finding older tunes, but it is great for finding new or alternative music. This tool searches public blogs and finds you exactly what yo are looking for.

Give it a try!!! I have encolsed a screenshot below.

ABC News: One-on-One with Bill GatesI guess Bill Gates must be nervous about the success of Apple’s Ipod. Maybe Steve Jobs should send Bill a free Ipod. Read the story and find out what I mean. …More

JBL - Home Audio If you want a powerful speaker set at low cost, think about getting the JBL On Stage for your iPod.
It costs between $130-150, but it offers great sound at a small price. This unit also serves as a full docking station and charger for you iPod. The sound isn’t as crisp as a home audio rack system, but it is portable and light weight. I was very impressed with the features…It could have used a remote control, but I guess they have to save some features for the upgraded model, right?

This product has been tested by the Mr. Slick Labs and
has been “certified”.

GM finally is doing something cool. GM announced that the 2006 Chevy HHR will offer front a auxiliary port that will be compatible with iPods. Good work GM…Now try building some cool cars for a change. Click the title link above to go to the official press release.
