Week five MP3 and music downloads

Ok well this one had me a bit confused. This discovery exercise was one I thought I would really enjoy, but I didn't really. I looked at some of the sites briefly but couldn't make head nor tail of them. So I made a log in for one of the sites that I thought looked quite user friendly. But alas, it was not to be. I am still a newby to these sites and the songs that were coming up were completely foreign to me. So I tried to do a search and look for ABBA (everyone knows ABBA) so that should be an easy search, right? Wrong! I couldn't find any ABBA songs. I couldn't find anything I knew, so I decided that was BORING and gave it a miss. At the moment I am not likely to want to download any music anyway and if customers want to download music from the internet then maybe we will have to work through it together. There is still such a lot to learn, but I am getting there slowly. I might have another try again with another of the recommended sites. Maybe the songs I like are too old now, I was a teen in the 70's when the music was great! Most of my favourite songs and artists are from that era.
Anyway moving right along with Web2.0 ........

One of the biggest issues with free and legal mps is that a lot of them aren't well known (or even semi well known) groups/artists - and a lot of our customers aren't after that, usually (big generalisation here). Some artists that you might want to look for (such as ABBA) are likely to be copyrighted up the wazaoo and therefore not free or legal :) Well done for giving this activity a go. It's not easy :)
