Blast from the Past

Remember the 8-track tape player? Mine was not as nice as this one. We've come a long way -- now I play better sounding music on my cell phone.

I've just discovered a website that lets you download music for free -- legally. I was able to download some music from my 8-track tape days that I'm thoroughly enjoying. The website is www.spiralfrog.com.

In order for the music license to stay current, you have to return to the site within each 30-day period and answer a few questions. The format is compatible with most mp3 players, but unfortunately not the iPod or iPhone products. Still, I've downloaded the music to my computer and play it while I work at my desk. The quality is amazing. Also, I can pick out which songs I REALLY like, and purchase them through iTunes.

Whether you're looking for old tunes or new ones, I think this site is worthwhile. My 8-track never sounded this good.
