I signed up on both the Mog and Imeem websites, and I actually liked Imeem the best. I never got a confirmation e-mail from Mog (even though the site said that they would e-mail it to me within 3 minutes) & Imeem had automatic sign in. Imeem features songs that you can listen to and also videos that you can watch on your computer. I watched a Pepsi video that was on the top videos recommended site. I didn't see this video feature on the Mog website though. Imeem also had a better selection of the music that I like to listen to. What I did like about Mog was that you can actually peek at a moggers profile and see what songs they recommend. I entered a moggers profile that was from Belfast, Northern Ireland (so it must be a popular worldwide site). I also created my own song on JamStudio. I had to pick the chords (Em, Fm, Bm, etc) and add them to a score sheet, then choose the mixer and type of sounds that I wanted. Since I do not play any instruments or know how to read a score page, I basically just picked everything at random.

It was a little difficult to figure out how to download a song onto a CD, but I managed to do it. I do listen to CD's on my computer and in my CD player. I think sharing free music online is a good way for musicians to share their works and gain popularity. However, I am not sure if they are gaining any financial profits due to the free and open sharing. I am sure the strict copyright protections laws help them keep their finanical situation gains under control.

The sound of music brings pleasure to my ears...... Listening to music is relaxing, it takes your mind off of your problems, & is very enjoyable. It is great to be able to listen to music on your computer if you are tired of the same old CD's that you own. I enjoyed listening to the Shakira song, "Don't Bother", from the music.download.com website. That site has many, many songs to choose from and it is free, it can't get better than that! I compared Napster to Yahoo! and it seems that Napster is a more expensive site ($12.95/mth) compared to Yahoo! ($5.99/mth if paying a yearly fee of $71.88 OR $8.99/mth if paying monthly).
