One of the most common questions I am asked from new iPod owners is "how can I transfer music from another iPod to mine?".  Well, Apple made sure that wasn’t possible a long time ago, so if you happened to lose the music you have on your computer you’d better hope that your iPod doesn’t die because you won’t be able to back those up anywhere.

I just heard that there is a new software program that is supposed to allow you to transfer your songs from your iPod to your computer….I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but please leave comments if any of you readers do try it out. I assume this is on the up and up since major retailers will soon be carrying it.

Here is more info and I believe they are offering a free trial on their web site:

Share Music iPod to iPod!!! No Restrictions!!

I can’t say enough about how awesome Replay Music is!  I like to listen to streaming music while I’m at work…then I get into my car and have anywhere from a 45 minute to 2 hour commute home, depending upon traffic, and I’m not always in the mood to listen to the radio and all its commercials.

I usually have my iPod with me, which is great but there are times that I’d really like to listen to the same streaming music stations I had been listening to on my PC during the day. Now I can!  Replay Music is incredibly easy to use and works like a charm!

If you listen to streaming music with MusicMatch, Yahoo or just about any other application/site Replay Music most likely is compatible with it. You can record the music streams and transfer the music to your iPod. Now I can take my streamed music with me and I absolutely love it!

I have had only one question for tech support and the response was lightning fast! Otherwise, it’s been smooth sailing since I first tried the software.

Try Replay Music yourself, for FREE!

I admit it, I didn’t want to like this CD. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been a huge fan of Jennifer Nettles, Kristian Bush and Kristen Hall for many, many  years. 

I’ve seen Jennifer perform as part of the Jennifer Nettles band and Soul Miner’s Daughter…always an amazing performer. Whether he was half of Billy Pilgrim or participating in a "Writer’s in the Round" at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, I’ve always been a fan of Kristian Bush. 

And then there’s Kristen Hall. I remember when she was a guitar tech with the Indigo Girls. I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen her perform. I rarely missed any of her performances and "Real Life Stuff" still rates as one of my all time favorite CDs. 

Being around since the birth of Sugarland, I couldn’t imagine them without Kristen. I just downloaded the CD on iTunes and as I listen to it, although I do miss hearing Kristen….the CD is still awesome! They do sound a little different, but different isn’t necessarily bad.

I’m thrilled that Kristen Hall is able to pursue her true passion, songwriting….and from what I’ve heard, the sweet sounds of Sugarland will be around for many years to come. 

You can listen to samples of Enjoy the Ride or download it on

I came across this deal and it really is too good to pass up, so I thought I’d pass it along.

Every new customer to eMusic can download up to 25 MP3s over 14 days free of charge. There are no strings attached*…and what’s even better is that the MP3s are not copy protected, so you can play them on any MP3 player, including iPods. The MP3s can be downloaded to unlimited computers and there is no limit to the number of times they can be burned to CD.

eMusic claims to be the #1 source on the net for Independent Music, being a supporter of Indie artists, it’s important to me that I have access to more than todays top 40.  Not only do you get a FREE trial membership, check out eMusic’s FREE Daily Download! What a great way to get turned on to new music.

But, don’t just take my word or their word for it…here’s what USA Today had to say about eMusic:

"eMusic is the only major online music store that offers songs in pure MP3 format, with no restrictions on how many times they can be copied, burned or transferred. While the songs at the other Web stores can be played only on a portable player that supports Windows Media, songs from eMusic can be stored on almost any portable." — USA Today

eMusic is a legal download site that pays artists and songwriters.

Their basic membership  is $9.99 per month after your Free 14-day trial, and you can download 40 MP3s per month. That’s only 25¢ per song!  They also offer two other plans if 40 downloads a month isn’t enough. If you download music and are sick of iTunes, this is definitely a viable alternative.

Who could forget the movie Valley Girl, Nicolas Cage was awesome, but one of the best parts of the movie was the music. 

A friend just got back from seeing Josie Cotton in concert, he had a blast!  It’s great to see that she’s still around and even better to know that she still rocks!

Given a 5 star review from Amazon.com this is a CD to check out!
