Musically Inclined

Today I was surfing random music sites, looking for good deals on music with some extra perks and such.  As music is a huge part of my life, one can imagine that a good site for music is a must.  I randomly came across a shopping site that has its own MusicSHOP.  

The musicSHOP is a feature on its parent site, Shop.com and has many cool features, such as contests where registered customers can win autographed items from their favorite artists, such as an autographed guitar or CD.
There are also other great prizes, such as a romantic cruise for two or a Tom Tom GPS.

The really great feature about musicSHOP is the very cool musicSHOP player, which is a pop-up widget.  The musicSHOP player comes equipped with a full list of songs that can be listened to in their entirety before customers decide to make a purchase.  This widget is the best way to preview songs before buying, especially with an option for sharing the widget with your friends or putting it on desktops and mobile devices.  Upon opening the musicSHOP player, the song list pops up.  

Each song is introduced, with the song name, artist name and album name.  There are a lot of great artists featured on this list such as George Strait and Seal, as well as the ever-popular Faith Hill and former American Idol contestant Elliot Yamin, who has enjoyed considerable success since the release of his first album in 2007.  His newest offering is a Holiday Special.  After listening to the songs on the musicSHOP player, if one wants to purchase the music, there is a convenient "Buy it Here" button right next to the playlist.  No searching required.

As this is a popular feature of musicSHOP, the player will have ever-changing lists of tracks to listen to, so frequent visits are definitely recommended in order to keep up to date with what is currently being released.  This website is fun to use, easy to use, and helps me keep track of all the current releases while being able to preview them before committing to buy; this is just what I look for in a Music purchasing website.

Photobucket Sucks

This is going to be a 'Douche of the Day' award post that I usually do on my Wordpress blog . I was a happy Photobucket user for 11 years.  That's a long time to stick with a service so they were obviously a good one.  I was completely happy with the services provided on my free account and a couple of times, I made use of the print store in order to make custom gifts for loved ones for various occasions. Then all of a sudden, in 2017, they start sending me nagware. For those unfamiliar, nagware consists of popups/emails/messages etc that 'nag' you to buy their product. It's irritating, true, but not a deal breaker since I had a free account.  I just unsubscribed to the nagmails and just put up with it on the site. Then, however, Photobucket decided to do something I consider to be truly despicable. They made it to where you CANNOT download your photo albums (for backup or for account changes).  They actually REMOVED the download album links.  Why is that p...

Favorite File Manager for Windows 7

Most people that use Windows tend to just use Windows Explorer as their file manager. A vast number of people likely don't even realize that there are other options.  Windows Explorer is painfully limited in features, especially lacking the tabs that 95% of file managers utilize.  In my line of work, I have to compare, browse, edit, move, delete and rename vast numbers of files.  Windows Explorer just can't handle the task. I ended up using FreeCommander file manager, which had all the features I was looking for with extensive customization options for the user interface and a built in viewer that could be used inside the window I was working on.  That was actually the most difficult feature to find as I discovered later. After a while though, I became very frustrated with FreeCommander's 32 bit free version.  It became slow and often froze.  So I decided to comparison shop, so to speak.  My requirements were few but necessary: I had to be able to c...
