So recently I discovered (or, rather, was introduced to by Sharon) this awesome service called Lala<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Basically, you can “purchase” rights to stream a song as much as you want for $0.10\/song. (You can also stream any song in their database once for free.) Signing up gives you credits for 25 songs. And if you like it, you get the $0.10 off the cost of the MP3 download (which is normally $0.89, so already $0.10 cheaper than iTunes).<\/p>\n

If it was just that, it would already be kind of awesome, but annoying to use as you’d have to re-buy all of your music (which is the main annoyance of digital distribution). However, Lala also provides a program that can run through your MP3s, match them against their database, and then give you access to them online (either immediately if it’s a song they carry, or by uploading your file if it isn’t).<\/p>\n

This basically means that you can upload your entire music library to Lala and listen to it anywhere you have internet access. Convenient.<\/p>\n

I’ll make a proper post one of these days, but meh. You should give them a try<\/a>*. Signing up is free, and you get 25 free songs to stream.<\/p>\n

Also, yes, Southwest found my bag. They also gave me $50 for the inconvenience of having to go get it. They should lose my bags more often. :D<\/p>\n

*I get 5 free songs to stream if you do. I don’t get paid and I don’t get song downloads. Also, it will automatically make you follow me and make me follow you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
