I saw Snoop Dogg for the first time last night and I must say that dude is a performer. I have seen a fair amount of other rap concerts and most of them don’t live up to expectations because rap is so produced with all the beats and sound effects that it usually doesn’t sound nearly as good. Snoop on the other hand just had so much energy and he kept the crowd into every song. VIP tickets thanks to my boy Ryan Moretti of Southern Wine & Spirits didn’t hurt either. If you get the chance to see Snoop D-o-double-g do it.

I came across a standalone utility called Last.fm Music Downloader. As a member of Last.fm since June 2006 this little app is very useful for me. If you didn’t read my earlier post about Last.fm take a look.
- Download and run the app.
- Go to Last.fm and visit the Radio page.
- Search by artist, genera or keyword to begin listening to music.
- Take the url and paste it into Last.fm Music Downloader and hit Start.
- Music will begin to downolad to the default location setup in the app.
That’s it! Who knows how long this will last though before Last.fm figures out a way to block this so get it while you can.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Apple Inc. on Tuesday made its last appearance at the annual Macworld conference, releasing a new version of its MacBook Pro notebook and announcing pricing and copy protection changes for songs available on its iTunes store. Apple senior vice president of marketing Phil Schiller delivered the conference’s keynote address in place of Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs, who earlier this week disclosed that he’s been suffering from a hormone imbalance. Apple, which traditionally uses the conference to announce its most high-profile products, said songs on iTunes will begin costing between 69 cents and $1.29 in April, based on their popularity. In addition, the company said all songs will be free of copy protections by the end of the quarter.
What this means to you
- You will be able to share music with friends, YES!
- Lesser known artists songs will be cheaper than more popular artists saving you some $

What music program do you like the best?
I have been using both programs for years now, but if you haven’t checked out last.fm you really need to. This program does everything Pandora does, however it can be downloaded as a standalone app that runs in your system tray. If also has some nice plug-ins to monitor your music coming out of itunes, Windows Media Player, Winamp, ect. Then it automatically synchronizes what you are listening to up to your profile on last.fm for the world and friends to see. It’s a social networking music site. You can also have it scrobble (aka look for new songs since your last sync) music from your ipod. It’s a really great program.
