The developer of the FLV to MP3 Converter has informed us that they are offering a time limited giveaway of their popular software: FLV to MP3 Converter.
If you are not aware, the FLV format is the most commonly used video format in the web. The FLV format is very popular and used by YouTube, Hulu, VEVO, Yahoo! Video, metacafe, Reuters.com, and many other video & information websites.
FLV To MP3 Converter allows you to extract the audio component of the video and convert it into a MP3 file. Other than FLV, it also supports file formats like MP4, MPG, FLV, WMV, MOV (for input) and MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, and FLAC (for output).
Grab the software while it is still available.
This giveaway will be closed on Oct 25th, 2011.
Smartphones have brought a lot of useful functionality to mobile devices and one of the less touted ones is the ability to have ringtones made directly from your MP3 music files. Unlike older generation phones which often had a preset limit of tunes, newer smartphones allow for a limitless number of audio files to act as ringtones, notifications, and alarm sounds. However, even though it is possible to use virtually any audio file as a ringtone, some smartphones refuse to recognize standard audio files and must first be converted into a ringtone format. In this guide I will explain how to convert a standard MP3 music file into a ringtone file on your Android phone using Ringdroid.
Amazon just released their new Cloud Player service to go alongside their Cloud Drive and MP3 Store. What this means is that we’ve all now got access to a free 5GB of space to not only hold our music but stream it anywhere, with iTunes integration, playlists, album art and all. Word on the net is that Google and Apple are heading in the same direction, but if Amazon’s quick entry can grab enough early adopters, it could change the game. Today we’re going to take a look at this new service to see if it really offers enough to make an impact in the notoriously complicated, finicky, and unpredictable world of digital music.
For those who have a great collection of mp3 songs, did you come across instances where some songs are louder, and others are softer? I have several thousands of songs in my Music collection. When listening to the songs, the thing that disturbs me most is the adjustment of the volume. At one instance, the song is too loud for my ear and I have to turn the volume down. Then in the next instance, the song is too soft and I have to turn the volume back up. I bet you have experienced the same scenario before. How about normalizing all the songs to about the same volume so that you won’t have to play with the volume button every time?
There are times when you want to extract only the audio of a video file. Maybe you have dozens of music videos stored in your computer’s hard drive and you want to convert all of them to mp3 files. Then you may want to copy these mp3 files to your iPod or MP3 player so that you can listen to the music on the move.
Anyone who knows me will have heard me rant about the poor state of music software, particularly for Linux. There seem to be two types of music players out there: the tiny ones that don’t get in your way but often lack important playlist features or format support, and the monstrous software beasts that drag your system to a halt and insist on “importing” the files you’ve already organized. I had been stewing over this for years, and nearing the point of writing my own, when I found Exaile – a GTK music program originally modeled after KDE’s Amarok. This may be the first music player since Winamp 2.95 that I don’t despise, and here’s why.
Downloading MP3 from the Web is never an easy task. You have to search Google for your favorite song, find the correct site that comes with a proper download link and also constantly in fear that RIAA will come knocking your door. While we have covered 
With organizations like the RIAA knocking on the doors of downloaders everywhere, finding and downloading music online can be a dangerous hobby. Ethics aside, the legal troubles that can result from downloads could have you paying fines for the next few decades. Fortunately, there are multiple websites that aim to provide free, fully legal music downloads. You may not find much from this week’s Top 40 Hits, but in my opinion at least, that’s not much of a down side. Some of these sites provide new independent music, while others focus on the older public domain recordings. We’ll go through each to see what they offer.
iTunes is the world’s biggest online music store. It is probably also the world’s biggest distributor of DRM infested music. Even though, in the past few months, Apple has taken steps to rectify the problem, the chances of you purchasing DRM laced music from iTunes are still high.
In my personal opinion as both Mac and Windows users, iTunes is the best music player I’ve come across. The simple yet intuitive interface alone is enough to make me ditch other players out there. And there are many other powerful features which hides behind the simplicity of the appearance.
