Music sharing has been of the most common sharing activities on the internet and it has caused a lot of problems for artists. This has changed the way they go to market and has also made them go back to doing live concerts to make real money.

The biggest problem is that music is way to easy to find and download these days. The easiest way to find and download music and MP3 files is a simple Google search. Check these tips out.

Click on the links below and you will be shown a list of Pink Floyd MP3s. Simply change the details according to your liking (for example replace “pink floyd” with Madonna or just the song name). Change the “wma/mp3? tag to other format such as “ogg” if you wish to download the music in other formats.

Here are the terms you can use. You can just click on the link and see an example or copy/paste the info below into Google and then change it to your favorite artist or song.

• Google

“parent directory” mp3 OR wma OR ogg OR wav “pink floyd” -html -htm -download -links

Using Google should help you find any kind of music you are looking for but remember it is not entirely legal to download free music. You have to decide if it is something you want to do.

Cox is now the latest Internet service provider to have been found blocking peer-to-peer traffic on its network.

The Max Planck Institute for Software Systems released a survey Thursday showing that 54 percent of Cox subscribers reported having their connections blocked when they tried to share files over the Internet. Comcast has been castigated for a similar practice, but apparently it wasn’t the only company engaging in such action, according to the Associated Press.

The blocked connections occurred when Cox subscribers used BitTorrent to download or upload files, according to the results of the survey. Cox has acknowledged a practice called “protocol filtering,” but says that’s not the equivalent of creating different standards for handling content traveling across its networks.

From the AP:
Samsung Electronics Co. will introduce high-definition TV sets with computer-like features, letting users read news from USA Today, play games or look up recipes, the company said Sunday.

A button on the remote of Samsung’s new Series 6 and Series 7 LCD and plasma HDTVs displays news, weather, sports and stocks information supplied by USA Today as a picture within the picture. The TV set needs to be connected to the home Internet connection through an Ethernet port for this feature.

Furthermore, some LCD flat-panel sets will come with content preloaded into flash memory, Samsung said. The content will range from artwork that can be displayed as a screensaver, to fitness programs, food recipes and simple games like Sudoku, said Tim Baxter, executive vice president of sales and marketing for the consumer electronics division of Samsung Electronics America.

“If you think about the TV experience, it has historically been a lean-back experience,” Baxter said, contrasting it to the more active “lean-forward experience” of using a personal computer.

“We think there are opportunities to bring very relevant parts of that experience into the living room,” Baxter said.

Users will be able to update the preloaded content by downloading artwork or games onto flash drives, which can be plugged into the sets.

Samsung plans to launch the interactive sets this spring. Prices were not immediately available.
