Jazz. Smooth jazz.
I'm in the mood of posting today. Here's a video of youtube.com I liked. The performer is Bobby Hutcherson, the piece is "Dance of the sun".

Niches for listening music legally on the internet
So, let's start with the definite place to visit, if you're searching for music: Skreemr.com. The site itself claims, that it does not break any copiryghts, as it just links to music on other sites. On my opinion, this site is just great. It allows listening to the chosen song through the web browser, so there's no need of winamp or some other music player to listen to songs. It searches for album covers on the net (so you can watch the cover while listening if you want to); it provides tons of information about the songs; the search algorithm brings out a huge list of songs, especially for popular artists. If the results brought are too many, the searching may be customized - by writing for instance "The Artist I Want To Listen To" in quotes will bring out results with the exact match of the text in quotes; if you want a word necessarily to be present in the search list, you have to write a + sign in front of it; the - sign serves for the contrary action. There is a plugin for firefox, by which Skreemr may be added to the search engines of the browser, afterwards accessible via Ctrl + k.
There are search engines, such as Exploseek.com, for instance, that would search for songs on the internet, but the aim of this post is not to point to such engines and sites, the latter one added just for info.
The next place that is mandatory to be visited, if you want to listen to nice music on the internet, is, of course, Last.fm. For the nonregistered users it gives the opportunity to type the name of their favourite artist, and then creates an internet radio station with artists, similar to the preferred one. If you don't like the current song played, you can just skip to the next song. The music may be listened directly from the brower, without the need of any media players. The more interesting part comes when someone registers; the registration is very easy and fast, and reveals many more opportunities for the users. Among them is the opportunity to pay a relatively reasonable (to me) fee, for which one can listen to the favourite songs wherever he is (one creates his own playlist on the internet with the songs one loves). There are also user groups, and a bunch of radio stations, created by users (for instance, radio station for smooth jazz and so on). Last.fm is very well integrated in the best music players - winamp, amarok, rhythmbox, xmplay, foobar2000 and many others, through plugins for these players; the plugins are usually to be found at the websites of the players. Unfortunately, recently last.fm wass bought by a huge company, which may be for good (or maybe not) for the future of this great resource on the net. Still, if one has a favourite artist and is looking for diversity and for new music, similar to that artist, last.fm suggests such music, and I like the way it does it. An interesting feature for registered users is the opportunity to embed a radio station with the beloved artist in weblogs. But let's move further to the next resource on the net.
Magnatune.com has a very interesting music selection. Although the artists there are not so well known, some of them are VERY good. I personally like the quitar things of Jeff Wahl. The site lets users listen to mucis on the net (throught the browser, no additional media players needed). After that, if the user likes the music, it can be purchased in exchange of a sum, which the user decides upon (I think 5 dollars for an album was a possible cost there). There are plugins for some media players in Linux (for instance, Rhythmbox, Amarok, GMPC/MPD) supporting streaming of music through Magnatune. I can say nothing but a huge "Thank you!" to the developers of these players.
Of course, there are also countless blogs pointing to mp3's and music resources on the internet; there are appllications like Songbird that are specialised in searching for music on the internet. Mentioned in this post are just a few places that offer some diversity in finding music of the favourite style one likes to listen to.

Listening radio on the internet
One can listen to the radio using a computer, if one has an internet connection, and a player, that supports streams. As almost all nowadays players (winamp, rhythmbox, amarok, iTunes, foobar2000, xmplay are just some of them) support streams, the harder task seems to find a radio station that suits one's taste. Here I list the ones that I like; that's just my taste, and there's no need to be liked by anyone else. Also, if the radio stations listed here are not at one's taste, one may want to visit the website mike's radio world and choose a radio station from a great list of radio stations there. Also, at the address of Shoutcast.com is a list of over 800 radio stations for listening on the internet.
* Not wanting to have my opinion as obsolete, the soft smooth jazz section of Last.fm is great. Here are also some other radio stations that I like:
* Frequencejazz is a french radio, that plays nice jazz things that I like. For to listen to it, just drag and drop the following link into your player: Link to frequencejazz
* I come from Bulgaria, and I like a radio station there, the Retro radio. It plays music I like. For to listen to it, drag and drop the following link into your media player: Link to retro radio (one has to be patient, since the link doesn't work sometimes; but to me the music there is worth the patience)
* There's also a german radio station that I listen to from time to time; the so called 106.8 Rock'n Pop. It's a good one. To listen to it, drag and drop the following link into your media player: Link to 106.8 Rock'n pop

See this young lass there, eeeeee!

See young Mitra singing by the river, Mitra-lassiee, Mitra-lass,
See young Mitra there, yond’ the forest, Mitra-lassiee, Mitra-lass,
There’s a young lad coming from the village, Mitra-lassiee, Mitra-lass,
Walking by his side’s a wild young pony, Mitra-lassiee, Mitra-lass,
See him walking there, hear him singing, eeee!
See the young lad riding his wild pony, Mitra-lassiee, Mitra-lass
See him riding, holding tight his lassie, Mitra-lassiee, Mitra-lass
Traduction en Francais
Regarde cette jeune fille Mitra
Qui chante
Qui chante au bord de la riviere,
Ehi Mitra qui chante au bord de la riviere pres de la foret..
Voila qui arrive un jeune garcon avec son cheval
Et Mitra chante de joie
Car ce jeune garcon qui vient sur son cheval aime la fille Mitra
Tara du da day du dara
Tara du day Mitre le
Tara du da day..
