Music to my ears…

Published by -MiKe- on December 19, 2007 in asides. 0 Comments

I had(have) to make a PowerPoint Presentation to test out of MI 120 here in the next few days, and one of the requirements was to make a quick song in Soundtracks to play behind some slides. So I made these two. Personally I like the second the best… But honestly… They both suck. Thats why I’m not an audio major…

Free Dance Pads 1.5

So, since I managed to destroy one of my two dance pads, I decided it was time to get looking for a replacement. Being the only place I knew of to get $6 dance pads, I headed back over to the Kraft Brands Active Gaming website.

Oddly, the game pad page is still up but the order form is MIA. Saddly, after an spending an hour with customer support, I am still kraft-paddless… If anyone out there has one of these things they want to junk, send it my way. I’ll even pay shipping and handling. :-D

Free dance pads.

I think I mentioned I have been trying to get Step Mania up and running here for a few days in my last blog, and if I didn’t, now you know. Anyway, turns out that Kraft (the cheese people) are giving away free USB dance pads, for the price of shipping ($6.00).

The offer only lasts until July 31st, so get them while the gettin’s good! Also, a little modification is needed to get them to work in Step Mania, but for this price, who’s complaining?

Embedding Music in your Blog…

You may have noticed -no steam shovel- has a bit of a sound-track now. Not just that same damn song, over and over. Some variety…

It took some time, but my quest for embedded blog music has come to an end with FineTune. Check the MORE link for more on the topic, and why I chose them over the competition…

For a good long while I have been looking in to embedded music for blogs to no real avail… I found a good number of embedded solutions, but none seemed to work the way I wanted them to.

Below you will find a few of our options, not really in any order, as well as a description and the pros and cons of each. As you may know, I hate paying for things, so all of these are free, and most importantly, legal. I believe I am about done adding content to this, so there shouldn’t be any more updates unless anyone has anything I should add to the subject.

In this post I will take a look at divShare, FineTune, last.fm, Radio.Blog.Club, Music Video Base, Sonific, the Streampad Widget and the Traditional Embed method for adding music to your blog…

I am doing a quick project for TV Production 1, and I needed the Mac v. PC music… I had been thinking about it for a while, but stupid me, never started looking.
