Streaming Music With VLC

VLC is a audio and video player used as a better solution than Microsoft Windows Media Player. VLC is so much more powerful and feature rich. VLC media player is a multimedia player capable of playing most audio and video formats including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, DivX, MPEG-1, mp3, MP4, ogg, aac.

In addition, VLC can also be used as a media converter or a server to stream in unicast or multicast formats in IPv4 or IPv6 on networks.

Best of all, VLC can play compressed RAR archives. To utilize VLC's streaming RAR file capabilities, a plug in called VLC UnRAR plugin is required. You can download it here.

The VLC UnRAR plugin turns VLC media player into a RAR file player that allows you to watch videos (including seekcapabilities) directly from unextracted multi-volume RAR archives without the need to extract them first. Thus eliminating the need to waitfor files to finish downloading and then extraction. You can simply open the archive just the same as any other video file.

Avoid an RIAA Lawsuit!

Reduce the risk, avoid getting busted by the RIAA and MPAA!

Uploading and downloading from peer to peer file sharing sites, torrent sites is not a simple matter of download and share. You may get busted even though you are not mass sharing, or redistributing music.

Tthe distribution of copyrighted material is what the MPAA and the RIAA are targeting. Individuals that seed and share torrents and music files are prime targets. Thus, protecting yourself from a lawsuit is simple, and only requires a few steps.

1. Use private torrent tracker sites only.
If your IP addres is hidden, then it is harder to locate you.

2. Use a 3rd party anonymous service like PeerGuardian. PeerGuardian is free. Download it here: http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/

3. Use a proxy that is based in a foreign country that won't care about U.S. copyright law. or use a vpn connection.

4. Use the encryption settings in your torrent program.

5. t Stay away from new releases. New albums will have more chance of getting you in trouble. These are always watched for much closer than older albums.

6. Use limewire or frostwire to download files. These are one-way programs, so you can download directly without ever having to upload.

Streaming Music via Torrent and NZB Files

2009-07-24T09:57:00.000-07:00

Streaming Music via Torrent and NZB Files

Technology is wonderful, especially when it saves us time and headaches. This is true in the case of streaming audio files. Now, torrent streaming and nzb streaming offer alternatives to audio and video like never before. Were you affected by the piratebay lawsuit? Need another source for your music and movies? Look no further!

Torrent Streaming

Similar to streaming video, and much easier to do because of far the lower bandwidth requirements, you can now stream torrent music files. What this means is that essentially, you can use a torrent file to download mp3's, however the difference is that there is no waiting. The website Bitlet.org has a great utility that will play your mp3's as soon as you start the download.

Simply enter the address of the torrent file and start listening. BitLet.org runs off of java, which is likely already installed on your pc. (check it at this page)

NZB Streaming

NZB streaming is a bit older (but still a new concept) than torrent streaming and works in a very similar manner only you use a NZB file to stream the music, and you need a NZB usenet client.

You can download one here,

or try a free 14 day trial here

NZB files are nearly the same as torrents, and the process is the same. Search and Download an NZB file and launch it with the usenet reader program. The music will start playing as soon as the download starts. Once completed, you will also have a copy of everything you just downloaded.

Free Music Downloads

While downloading music is one of the most popular online activities, besides social networking and playing games, there is a lot of information that is not made available to the public at large.

There are a number of serious issues that should be understood when downloading music (which most people overlook) and there are also ways to obtain free music that are simply unknown by the majority of people online. (The foremost being and usenet and the many music newsgroups)

This is very important when considering the growing trend by the large music companies, of suing individuals who infringe on their copyrights. Court records show a large number of out of court settlements, with fines ranging from $3000 to $5000, and maximum awards in excess of $250,000.

As if the fines and legal issues where not enough of a problem now there is the added danger of downloading music embedded with malware, spyware and viruses. The need to be cautious in your quest for free downloadable music is critical.

Having access to free music download files means that you can enjoy as much music as you want in your own home whenever you want it. You will find that many musicians are now freely giving away their music as a way to promote themselves and their bands. The concept of free legal downloads means that you have permission from the author or creator to download their intellectual property.

Free music downloads have surged in popularity since the emergence of the Internet and even more so in the last few years. With the advent of iTunes, the mass population has become more accustomed to buying their music from the Internet in the form of single track downloads from membership websites. No longer is it necessary to purchase an entire album when you really only want a single track.

A huge shift occurred and people have moved toward digital media for the ease of use and speed of acquisition that it offers. As such, more and more people have begun to search the Internet for music rather than going to the local record shop.

You can find and use free and legal music downloads from a number of sources including nzbseek.com, and in a number of ways. The key is to be aware of the dangers and also to know what you can use legally and what will get you into trouble.

Free Audio Converter Software!

2009-06-23T08:30:00.000-07:00

Free Audio Converter Software!

There are hundreds of audio conversion utilities, so many so that it can become quite overwhelming. Essentially, all that needs to be determined is what audio format your file is, and what audio format you need for your audio player.

Not as easy as it sounds however. the Microsoft Zube for example support many audio formats - however just because a particular song is in a supported format does not always mean it will play on your audio device.

Why? well because there are different variations of audio formats within the same audio format. The WMA format for example, can be encoded over a dozen different ways and with many different nuances. So, that being said, there are different WMA formats. This holds true with just about all music formats, from MP3, WMA, RAM, MP4, and even mobile audio formats for cellular phones.

If I can recommend any one piece of software to convert just about any audio too a different ormat, that software would be ConvertXtoDVD.

Aside from premium audio and video products like convertxtodvd, there are dozens of freeware utilities. many often include a free trial, or best yet a free version of their software. For a complete listing, the website Giveaway of the Day has a great selection of audio/video converters

- and much more!

How to Download Music

2009-06-15T12:02:00.000-07:00

How To Download Music

Downloading music is obviously not as straightforward as the title leads one to believe. Obviously one cannot download cd's or mp3's without buying a copy from an online store or service. There are many alternatives as pointed out in a previous article here.

Most of us use alternatives like torrent sites, ftp sites and Peer to peer sites, however most of the time these methods end up only disappointing us due to slow downloads, or inaccurate file names, or incomplete files. Not to mention the potential of downloading a virus or some other sort of badware (learn about BadWare here) Although there really is no 100% reliable way to download full length music cd's or dvd's, unlesss they are offered free, or given through some sort of promotion.

Rapidshare Filesharing - The most common method to downloading movies, games, music and software are from file sharing sites like rapidshare and megaupload. The reason these sites are so popular is because of the file sizes and download limits. Rapidshare allows 100Mb file sizes and several Gb of downloads per day.

The newsgroups allow for a different option to downloading cd's and dvd's. Using the newsgroups and NZB files, one can download a full cd or even an entire discography, and start listening is right away. NZB Mmusic streaming allows the benefits of listening to cd's right away, while downloading other cd's and dvd's using filesharing sites.

How To Download NZB Music

2009-06-08T07:05:00.000-07:00

How To Download NZB Music

How to Download NZB Music

This tutorial will explain how to download NZB music files from just about any artist.

Step 1 - Download and Install a NZB newsreader Software

You will need an NZB file. I recommend binsearch.info.

Step 2 - Find NZB Files

You can find NZB files to download with an NZB Indexing site such as nzbseek.com or binsearch.info. Most of these nzb indexxing sites sites are free.

Step 3 - Find Usenet Newsgroup Server Info

An NZB file contains a list of pointers to files that reside on Usenet servers, which is one of the the oldest systems of the internet. All NZB (newgroup client) reader programs require are that you enter information for at least one Usenet "newsgroup" server. These servers can be accessed by any kind of computer, and the information below is identical no matter what kind of computer you are using.

Most ISP's offer a free newsgroup server that you can use. Some are very limites though. You should consider purchasing a usenet subscription to get the full benefit of the most choice opf newsgroups and the best artyicle retention times.

The following nntp (usenet server) information is what you will need:

1. The news server URL - Example: news.usenetserver.com
2. Your username/password
3. Port Number (nntp port) - which is almost always 119
4. Number of simultaneous connections permitted - More connections equals faster downloads. Newsgroup readers support multiple connections, that allows a single file to be downloaded in many smaller pieces.

While you are talking to your ISP, ask them about monthly data limits, and if there is a speed limit on the server. If there are strict limitations, don't worry about this for now.

Once you have learned the basics, you can use the information in Step 9 to find a better newsgroup server.

Step 4 - PAR files

NZB files will typically contain PAR (parity) files. The PAR files contain error-correction information and are used to check, when required, repair the files you have downloaded.

Step 5 - RAR files

NZB files contain RAR files. RAR is popular because it is a very good compression method. This enables large downloads to be compressed to save time and bandwidth when downloading them.

RAR archives come in sets of files. Essentially, large files are broken up into smaller parts, and stored in dozens of RAR files. So, once you have finished downloading the NZB file's contents, you will have a folder full of PAR and RAR files.

Once you have extracted the files contained within the RAR, you can delete way the PARs and RARs. If you are missing one or two segments, you can usually have the PAR files recreate them, but in general, you want to make sure to collect all the segments.

If you use a SVF file first, that will check that all the RAR files are present and are valid and free of corruption. PAR files are not even required at this point.

Most newsgroup readers have automatic unRARing built in, and contain RAR decoders that you can use on RAR files that you find by other means. Both programs make the entire PAR-and-RAR process very easy.

Step 6 - Codecs to Play NZB Audio Files

At a minimum, you will want to install an AC3 audio codec. If you play an audio file, and do not hear any audio, then that means you don't have the right audio codec installed.

Step 7 - RAR Archives

Sometimes you will get a simple file such as an FLAC that you can just double-click on to play. Other times, you will get files that you have never heard of before. Your computer will prompt you to select a program to open any unknown file types.

This may seem very confusing and elaborate, but there are a limited number of variations, and it doesn't really take that long to learn them all.

Step 8 - Burn Files to CD or DVD

Some of the files you find inside a RAR will be incompatible on your computer. They will have to be burned to a CD or DVD first. You will need a program to burn cd's and dvd such as ConvertXtoDVD.

Step 9 - Subscribe to a Premium Newsgroup Server

Most ISP's do not offer free Usenet newsgroup services any longer, and if they do, most put speed and/or download limits on their free servers. NZB downloading requires simultaneous connections, and most ISP's only allow a small number of simultaneous connections to their server.

If you are not satisfied with what your ISP offers, you can sign up with a "third party" news-service-provider or "Newsgroup Service". You connect to your Newsgroup server via your existing internet connection, and you use the information supplied by your NSP in your NZB client software.

Step 10 - Limitations of the NZB Method

If you are fanatical about acquiring certain types of files, you won't want to rely upon the NZB method exclusively. You will want to plunge directly into Usenet itself. This may require manually connecting to a usenet server and downloading articles manually. This may happen if you are missing rar files and there are also missing par files.

Download Music Before It Is Released!

2009-06-03T11:38:00.000-07:00

Download Music Before It Is Released!

How do you download music that has not been released yet? How do you download music that is just debuting on the radio?

Although this is called pirating, and is illegal according to DCMA, and copyright laws, it still happens every day.

The most commne way for music to be leaked prior to release is by someone actually takeing a copy from the studio, or by copying a review copy of a cd.

Advanced review copies of cd's are sent to select individuals to review and rate. Usually, someone ends up making a copy and distributes it on the internet.

Downloading CD's can be done using the newsgroups, torrents, forums, and rapidshare sites. Although all of these methods work, the newsgroups is the best place to download music. it is also the easiest method - using nzb files.

NZB files allow you to download entire cd's with a single mouse click. The nzb music file invokes a number of programs that each run a special process - to download the music files themselves, open the an archive utility to decompress and decode the music files to make them playable, and finally a nzb muswic player to listen to the CD.

Best of all, any of these programs are available free on the internet!

Free MP3 Streaming

Free MP3 Streaming

Streaming MP3's over the internet is a common way to listen to music. It is popular because you can listen to music from the comfort of your own home without having to rent or buy cd's. No need to drive to the music store. You mnay use alternatives sources such as graboid.com

The biggest problem with online music streaming is that there are very few sources to listen to MP3's free. You may find sources to listen to Mp3's, but they not the full album, full release cd's that are currently running in the stores.

There are online music streaming alternatives if you crave new releases, they are just not going to be found in plain sight.

This is where NZB music streaming comes into play. NZB files are small pointer files to download music and dvd's from usenet newsgroups. These newsgroups have all the latest and greatest of everything from games, software, movies, music, and tv shows. The process is fairly simple starting with a search of the nzb files you want (cd or music video etc.) you can use nzbseek.com for example.

The nzb file itself will tell your newsreader to download the newsgroup messages withih the nzb file. These downloaded nesgroup messages have attachments - which are the actual cd or dvd files. Once you have started downloading the message attachments, you can start to play the music as is is being downloaded. To do this however, you require a NZB Movie Streaming Program called NZB Player, or BinTube which is a particularly powerful nzb player - with many more advanced features than other nzb players.

In some cases you may require a usenet subscription to usenet servers, however for starters, you may look here for free usenet servers to get you started. Once you have started using NZB movie streaming, you'll see how this can be one of the most convenient methods to stream nzb movies.

Where Can I Download Mp3?

2009-05-13T10:38:00.000-07:00

Where can I Download Mp3's?

Mp3's are one of the most sought after downloads from the internet. When the Mp3 music format was first developed, you could download them just about anywhere.
As time progressed and Mp3's became the standard electronic music format, music owners and publishers began to realize how much money could be made from Mp3's. This started the legal proceedings and court battles with napster, limewire, morpehsue and so on.

The consumer was forced to find alternative places to download music. Then along came the torrent file, or bit torrent and Peer 2 peer file sharing. This also became the focus of the lawyers and media giants to protect their property. Once again, the court battles soon followed. And once again, the consumer is left looking for other sources to download music.

During the rise and fall of napster, morpheus, and popular file sharing programs, one player in the game continues to fly just under the radar of the lawyers, and lawsuits and court battles. This player has been around since the beginning of the internet, and is 30 years old.

The player is called Usenet. Usenet, although not completely unknown to the record companies, software developers, and movie makers, offers a completely unique spin on the whole mp3 downloading topic.

Usenet is a vast resource with thousands upon thousands of music files, movies, software, games. You can literally download anything from usenet. The problem is that usenet is not completely user friendly.
Napster, bit torrent and similar peer to peer file sharing programs are not very user friendly either, however, they are slightly simpler to get acquainted with than usenet.

Usenet is a similar to a listing of thousands of email threads, this thread is arranged into newsgroups. Newsgroups are categorized into thousands of topics, which can include anythinf from music and movies to ebooks and pictures. These newsgroups allow messages to include attachments. This is where you find music, movies, and so on. A typical newsgroup topic can be alt.binaries.mp3. This means that within the alt (alternative) group is a sub group called binaries, which has an MP3 group. The binaries newsgroups number in the tens of thousands, and Mp3 newsgroups alone number in the hundreds. This means that there are Mp3 newsgroups for any kind of Mp3, from brand new releases, to complete albums, to compilations.

Downloading mp3's from the newsgroups requires 2 pieces of software and a newserver to download the messages from. The first software is a newsgroup reader of which there are thousands. Second, you need something to open the downloaded files. This usually requires a program to extract an archived file, such as winzip, or winrar. When somoen posts an mp3 file to a newsgroup, the mp3 file itself is split into small ieces and placed in the newsgroup in a series of sequentially numbered messages. A single mp3 file may be split into 10 or 20 small pieces. These small pieces are then uploaded to the newsgroup. To download them, you need to have informatyion about these pieces and their unique names, or id's. These unique id's are called message headers, and are simply a number. The mp3 file would typically be numbered "mp3 file 1, 2,3,4,5 and so on. So the complete listing of the mp3's message ids would be 5 parts- in this case.

The biggest problem with newsgroups is that when downloading mp3 files, you have to first search for the music that you want. This can take a while because of the sheer number of messages in a newsgroup. The solution is to find a quick way to download the mp3's you want without having to search or read through the messages. This problem was solved with the advent of the NZB file.

The nZb file is a index file that was developed by newsbin.com. They developed a quick way to download mp3's files using a nzb file. The nzb file tells the newsreader exactly where and what to download from the mp3 newsgroups. The mp3 file we mentioned earlier would have 5 parts all numbered sequentially. The NZB file then would have the title of the mp3, the newsgroup it is posted to, and the message id's of the parts within the posted mp3 file.

When downloading the mp3, you simply open the nzb file and start the download. The newsreader will download the parts, and save them in a directory somewhere on your pc (This would have been configured when you installed the newsreader and configured the settings) Once the download is complete, you woudl browse the download folder specified in the newsreader, and open the file attachments.

The file attachments may be archived and is a common practice mainly to save the number of posts required to upload files to the newsgroups. This saves hard drive space, and uploading\downloading bandwidth, and time. The most common archive format is the RAR archive. A RAR archive is opened with a free program called winrar. The winrar archives are similarly numbered as the message headers are, and sequential. A complete rar archive may contain a rar file, and a r01,r02,r03,r04 files. These are required to reassemble the complete archive as it was on the original uploader's computer. Once you have extracted the archive, you have the same files as were uploaded by the original mp3 uploader.

What is a NZB Mp3?

2009-05-12T11:12:00.000-07:00

What is a NZB Mp3?

An NZB mp3 is actually an NZB file extension, which is an index file that contains pointers or links to download the contents of the NZB mp3's.

NZB files are used to download from usenet servers and are quickly becoming very popular. The main reason is that they download much faster than regular website downloads. Usenet is massive and has anything and everything under the sun, from simgle mp3's and complete compilations, to games, ebooks, do it your self plans and tutorials.

In short, usenet is a giant public messageboard organized by categories - which are commonly called newsgroups that anyone can post to or download from. The messages in the various newsgroups can also contain file attachments which is why they are so popular. Users can post an mp3, or a complete cd to a usenet newsgroup that can be downloaded by anyone. File attachments are mp3's, mpeg's, games and so on, which are split into small pieces, and then attached to actual messages. These pieces are downloaded to your computer, and then reassembled on your computer for use.
winrar is the most common program used to split and join all these pieces, just like a ZIP file for winzip.

The methods used to download usenet newsgroup mp3's are a bit more detailed, however not at all difficult. To download music from a newsgroup, you simply need a usenet newsgroup reader. You then download the messages. The messages have unique identifiers or message headers. Message headers are like a preview of the message without having to download thousands of messages, which is a issue with usenet - it is so massive that to download even the messages headers - can take days. Thus, people have developed faster and more efficient ways to download from the newsgroups. Newsbin.com developed the NZB file format.

NZB files were created to ease in downloading exactly the message headers that you want, rather than searching thousands of messages. Once you have found what you seek, you mark the messages, and then create an NZB file. The NZB file can contain anything you want to download from the newsgroups. It saves you time and bandwidth because it only downloads the exact messages you want.

The drawback to downloading Mp3's with NZB files is that you have to wait until the parts have all been downloaded, then reassemble them, and finally, open the music file itself to hear it. This is still much faster than regular P2P, and torrent downloads, however you will still have to wait to hear your MP3 files.

NZB Mp3's have now come of age and gone one step further. Many software developers are creating NZB Mp3 music players and nzb music downloaders. These programs allow you to start listening to music right after the first part of the file has downloaded to your computer. Once you have the fitsr part, the remaining parts of the music can be downloaded in the background and the music can be streamed to you. This essentially means that you can listen to the music while it is still downloading. NZB music streaming is the term used to describe this process.
