Downloadable Music.....

.....is a unique concept but I find myself troubled sometimes with it. Mainly it is hard to find the music I like because most sites don't carry it or if they do they carry a recently re-edited version of the song not the original. Case in point...I was trying to find "Watcher Of The Skies" by Genesis on Itunes and the only one I could find was a remix...a shorter version of the song I wanted. The other side of this coin is that sometimes I can find the only song I like off an album that I think is full of dogs.

I also don't want my favorite artisits to sail off into oblivion because no is buying their music since they can get it free off the internet. Thats why I really dislike Napster. Music is a universal feeling but the artists who make it shouldn't lost their ability to make it because some schmo dosn't want to but their music.

Great Sites!!!

I love the dogster site....bassett hounds rule!!! The puzzle player is my new favorite site....I love crosswords and I would be up all night playing!! It can be very addicting!!

I have several website that are devoted to book lovers but they all seem to deal with people's reaction to books they have read. I want to find a site that will list books, specifically non-fiction, that are out or are coming out. I don't necessarily want to read some else's interpretation of a book, especially if they didn't really like the author or the subject matter. Thats why amazon's reviews are no good. Too many people posting reviews.
