Making A (Virtual) Loose Bollywood MP3 Download Website

 

My niece enjoys Indian takes and Indian film medicine. To her, equally to most of the Earth, this easy, colorful, attached and just-plain-fun writing style is summarized up in one word: Bollywood.

Last.fm is a highly popular music site which lets users create paid and free accounts. Account holders can stream popular music online with ease. Whilst free music streaming is possible, saving music to one’s hard drive is not. To record Last.fm music streams as mp3 audio files, Last Recorder can be employed.

Last Recorder is a tiny freeware compatible with Windows and Ubuntu operating systems. The Windows version is nearly 7MB large and requires no installation. Just simply download and run the 7MB exe file. Then we feed the program our Last.fm username plus password. Once logged in, click the red recording button; consequently all songs we stream will be saved by the program in the mp3 audio format.

The mp3 files can be tagged separately (type in the tags within the program) according to the filename we want it to have. Additionally we can choose to strip the filename of characters which Windows does not recognize. Last Recorder can also be configured to skip already recorded streams.

Maybe it’s an intro to a song you don’t really like, or a hidden track you’d rather not be included on your MP3. Or maybe you just want to isolate one part of your favorite podcast. Whatever the reason, sometimes you want to cut an MP3 down to size.

You could download or purchase a dedicated program for this, but use CutMP3 and you can get the job done quickly from your browser. This flash-based web app is different than most in that your data is never actually uploaded to another server – everything happens locally.

Simply point the site towards the MP3 you want to bring down to size, and the web app will analyze it. You’ll now be able to pick a new start and end time for the MP3, and even preview what the changes you made will sound like. That’s all you can do with this simple web app, but if that’s all you need it’ll work great.

I profess that I've become taken with Bollywood as better, though not to the duplicate extent equally my niece, who holds a figure of Indian films and regularly lets others. The Bollywood good is so great that I experience to throttle myself to following those hardly a of its outputs that gurgle up to view the attending of American movie commentators. Otherwise I gave be lost in Indian ocean of strange movie titles, actors and actresses.

 

My niece also compiles CDs of Bollywood medicine. There's an Asian commercialize nearly her family that passes a cornucopia of them. But she has the said problem choosing CDs to buy that I do determining which Bollywood movie may be worth my time. Unless she's seen the film from which a soundtrack derives, she's usually in the dark as to whether a special CD's songs and artists are ones she will enjoy.

 

At her request, I set up a fashion for her to preview a mixture of Bollywood vocals and even to live with them on her iPod for a while, all for Loose. This fashion she can net informed decisions about which CDs she ultimately purchases.

 

First, I searched for Indian medicine Web sites, and specifically for those devoted to Bollywood, or at least modern popular medicine (every bit opposed, say, to classical Indian ragas). I found several good ones, with names such every bit Bollywood world and India FM.

 

almost of the Web sites I found offered song samples, meaning 30-second or 1-minute snippets. Some got full audio streams that allowed the visitor to listen to continuous Bollywood medicine for every bit long as she or he might want. It was these latter that provided the first half of our solution.

 

Normally, streaming audio, such equally what you hear over an Internet radio station, cannot be saved or downloaded. New software program, though, makes it possible to record the stream to your hard drive for replaying equally often as you like.

 

Even better, some of the newest audio capture software incorporates something called an mp3 splitter. This computer software is able to break the audio stream into distinct mp3 song files. By the fashion, this is utterly legal, because you're simply showing a broadcast, the duplicate as when you record a TV show on your VHS. Voila -- we made the second half of our solution.

 

Between the audio streams and splitter/putting down computer software, we produced our own essential Bollywood mp3 download sites.

 

Now whenever my niece is in a humor to explore the latest tuneful offerings from Bollywood, she ticks on her favorite Indian-medicine Internet radio station, then starts the transcription software program. Pretty soon she has enough Bollywood mp3s to shuffle through for the rest of the workweek, and she's almost assured to find two or three that will spur her to have a trigger to the CD bin down at the Asian fund.
