Music Videos for Iphone-How To Get Them

Iphone's are proving to be tremendously popular, and one of the most popular things to go with it is to download some music videos for it. The Ipod beforehand has proved to be a very popular device, and it's now likely for the Iphone to repeat that success.

In order to download the music videos for the Iphone, the first thing you need to do is to make sure the videos you are downloading are in the MP4 format, as this is the only video format the Iphone can currently support. Luckily you'll find that most sites are primarily based around this format anyway.
The toughest thing about downloading the music videos for the Iphone is actually finding them. It's pretty tough to find the best download sites unless you know where they are. There are several different kinds of site, some of which may well prove to be a lot more trouble than they are worth. Probably the biggest danger is to use a peer to peer site for your downloads. Whilst these sites have been popular in the past, it's best to avoid them as they are breaking the law, and so will you be if you download anything from there. Another major danger is the software itself-you can seriously damage your computer and Iphone by using these sites, as there is no regulation of what is uploaded by the users. This means hackers and spammers use sites like this as a method of introducing new viruses to the internet, putting you at direct risk.
The good news about this is that you can now find a few sites which can offer you all the positive sides of the peer to peer sites, but very few of the negatives. The way it works is that you pay a one off fee to join the site, and in turn they give you unlimited downloads. Because you pay the sites a fee to join, they use the income to keep their downloads clean and regularly add new downloads to their stocks. You'll also find that these kinds of sites keep a lot more in their database than music videos-you'll also find movies and games as well as TV shows. This gives these kinds of sites a tremendous amount of value for money.
If you are looking to download some music videos for your Iphone, this article will hopefully let you know anything you need.

Deconstructing the Music Industry

The RIAA is suing poor college students for hundreds of thousands of dollars. When a group that represents what were once some of the richest entertainment corporations in the world begins to act out like some loser small-town cop, trying to make examples out of people to save a lost cause, something is awry. The big record companies are losing, and losing fast to music piracy and even legit downloads. Musicians, namely the drummer from Metallica, initially, and understandably began to stand behind their record label's attempts to crush this new scourge to their livelihoods. After all, even heavy metal drummers need to pay their therapists.

But, the smart artists, and the ones not so tainted by their management to see true artistic opportunity, began to revolt. Against all conventional wisdom, some of the biggest and most critically respected bands bit the hand that fed them for so many years. Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails (really just Trent Reznor) jumped ship, leaving the labels that released landmark albums like OK Computer and The Downward Spiral.

Even to a layperson, you can see that this is serious business, probably the most radical artistic upheaval our generation will experience. We aren't going to get to watch the rise of rock and roll, or hip hop coming out of the inner cities, but we are going to be able to witness first hand what happens when artists have the chance to be autonomous. The lunatics are taking over the asylum. Thom Yorke (of Radiohead) will have a more interesting business strategy then some uptight guy with an MBA that these artists used to have to pitch to just so they could get payola money for radio play.

Radiohead was the first band to really test the waters of what could be done free from the shackles of a major label. They released their latest album "In Rainbows" online and allowed fans to choose how much they think the music is worth. Think about that for a minute...it doesn't take long for a practical mind to come up with the million problems that this can cause for the business. What is profound about this is that Radiohead had enough faith in humanity to believe that people would actually choose to pay for something they could easily download for free; and everyone always takes Thom Yorke for a cynic. It's safe to assume that the labels didn't see this coming; they figured the bottom line to be cash.

The Radiohead experiment seems to have worked. Although they didn't make as much money as they probably would have releasing In Rainbows traditionally, they still made much more then most music journalists and industry people anticipated. People actually paid money, some paying more than the CD would have cost at a record store, to receive a product that was essentially free. People willingly made a donation to artists simply because they enjoyed their art.

The idea of people paying for music when they don't have to isn't revolutionary by itself, but removing the middle man is. The traditional wisdom is that a band needs a label to book tours and most importantly to market albums and shows through radio station payola and other media like magazine ads. The internet has not only allowed bands to release their music directly to their fans, but also to be directly involved with the marketing process. With the popularity of social networking sites like MySpace, bands are going straight to the fans, posting tours dates and even releasing exclusive songs. Tim Armstrong of the mid-90s punk band "Rancid" released an entire album for free on his website in 2006. After the initial popularity of his solo album, judged by the amount of downloads, he released it independently on his record label. "A Poet's Life" went on to be a moderate success in Armstrong's genre. People bought a CD full of music that they probably already had for free on their computer hard drives. This marketing strategy shows that fans are willing to support their favorite artists if the artists release quality music, and not just contract-quota filling albums for their labels.

Advancements in technology and the realization of the opportunities that the internet offers to musicians is a major threat to the labels that isn't going away. As more and more artists see the potential of being completely free of money-hungry management, it is a safe assumption that the quality of music being produced will rise. Bands will be judged solely on the quality of their music and tours instead of Billboard sales numbers. The fans will have the final say in the fate of bands, and many established acts are buying into this. "Queens of the Stone Age" will be the next band to leave their label, Interscope, according to front man and founder Josh Homme. They aren't the first to do it, but here's to hoping they aren't the last.

Guitar lessons or downloads?

All guitar lessons are not the same, just as all teachers are not the same. Guitar lessons or downloads what's the best way to learn? Today there is a variety of ways to learn guitar the challenge is finding the most effective way for you.

Firstly what are your goals, what you do want to achieve, in what time frame? Do you want to be a non-professional, semi- professional or professional guitarist? These are the type of questions you need to ask. Which style of learning will serve you best guitar lessons or downloads.

Guitar lessons can be a marvelous opportunity for adults to take time out of their day-to-day routines and find new outlets for their creative expression and they are certainly cheaper than therapy sessions.

So let's take a look are your goals, realistically what do you want to achieve in the next twelve months?
- do you want to jam with other musicians?
- do you want to play for family and friends?
- do you want to learn that cool song you've always wanted to play?

Do you see how I'm thinking?
Lessons are a discipline like anything else you need to make a decision & stick do it. Guitar lessons with a private tutor or downloads from the internet, here's a snapshot of both styles of tuition.
Internet lessons

Before choosing the lessons of a certain online tutorial- providing website over the lessons of another, it is recommendable to ask for the advice of your friends or other persons in whom you trust in order to find out whether those particular guitar lessons are efficient or not.
How much do you value your time?

It's very easy to blow 5-10 hours a week mindlessly surfing the net looking for tips, if you're focused you could spend that time learning the things you really wanted to play.

Yes, internet lessons do appear to be cheaper than private lessons ... internet lessons are convenient - learn when you want to in the comfort of your own home, no traveling etc, and there's the various free guitar lessons to get your feet wet in the learning process of guitar music playing.
Private lessons

If you have money, time, and are prepared to put the work in, this is one of the most effective routes to take, because they'll correct any bad habits, and your guitar lessons are one-to-one.
Guitar lessons are offered under the instruction of qualified, experienced and professional teachers. Private guitar lessons are once a week, half an hour, and one on one.

Now, just because the teacher has a qualification does not mean that can help you. What type of teacher is best for you will depend on:
- the type of music you want to play, just because a guitar teacher has a qualification does not mean they can (a) play the music you are interested (b) have any understanding of the theory behind that style of music.
The world is full of classically trained (and qualified) guitar teachers who don't have a clue about modern music.

There's just as many un-qualified teachers who don't have the faintest idea about (a) reading music (b) anything outside the current pop song on the radio or the latest tab they downloaded

By the way, if you're going to pay for private lessons, make certain you do some research on the teacher :
- has the teacher had a successful performing/teaching career?
- has any of his/her students been successful in the music industry?

The bottom line
Guitar lessons or downloads they both work, if you're clear about your goals, if you're focused, internally motivated and disciplined, guitar lessons or downloads will both deliver... the question is always what is the source of the information?

Good players don't necessarily make good teachers and visa versa whilst online you can easily find a website that offers 2,599 videos for an unbelievable price, but, fair warning: it's not the quantity of the information, it's the quality of the knowledge and how to put it all together that's the key!
Guitar lessons or downloads they're great options why not try a combination of both? Do your research first and avoid the frustration and confusion!

Download PSP Games Today

Imagine if you could get your hands on the latest PSP games, without having to spend money on them. How would that make you feel?

Excited I bet. You see, if you like the sound of this, then there are two basic ways to download PSP games - free sites, and membership sites.
Free sites are the most immediately appealing. After all, who wants to pay for PSP games if you can get them for free?

But, there are some downsides to free download sites as well.
Not all free sites are legal. It can be hard to tell initially which sites are offering legitimate downloads, and which can get you in trouble. Free sites also carry some risk of picking up viruses and spyware, which can damage your computer. You could spend more time and money trying to clean this malicious software off of your computer than you would have paid to buy the game in the first place!

Another, less risky way of getting PSP games cheaper and more easily than buying them at the store is via membership sites. You'll need to register with the site first, but afterwards, you simply log in and download the PSP games you want. Many sites offer a search of their game offerings to help you choose your game. The better sites have a good mix of older games and the latest PSP games.

With membership sites, there are two main formats. The first is one where you pay a subscription fee, either a lifetime fee or for a period of time. Once you have done this, you'll be able to get download psp games for free. In the other format, you pay a certain price per download. Generally, sites with subscription fees are cheaper in the long run, unless you intend to download only one or two games.

You see, once you become a member, you will be able to download any psp games you want. And it's very simple to do. You just search for the games you want and download them them to your pc. Once you've downloaded your game, the next step is to transfer them to your PSP. This is simple: you'll need to plug your PSP into your computer via the USB cable and move the file to the correct folder on your PSP. Once that's done, unplug the cord, and get ready to play!
Downloading PSP games will save you some time and money. Just make sure that you choose a site you trust with your information and computer. Membership sites are the most trustworthy and reliable option.
Anyway, if you want to download PSP games, you'll check out the sites I mention below for more information.

Movie Downloads Go Mainstream

Several years ago movies were available on the internet via peer-to-peer file sharing sites. Of course, issues of piracy and the risk of exposure to viruses prevented the average consumer from considering movie downloads a viable option however. More legitimate movie downloads came along a bit later in the form of Movielink and CinemaNow, but the selection was limited, download technology was a bit slow, and the equipment in the homes of most consumers made watching the films undesirable. For these reasons, movie downloads for the most part remained the domain of early adopters rather than the mainstream public.

Online movie rental services such as Netflix and Blockbuster have been more prominent forces in the home entertainment industry due to their much larger selection of movies. The primary drawback for such movie rental services was the delay between choosing the movie and receiving it in the mail a day or two later for viewing. However, the distinction between movie downloads, with their immediate gratification and convenience, and the world of online movie rentals, with their vast libraries of movie and television show titles, became blurred in 2007; benefiting the movie watching public.

Due to upgrades in how online movie rental services deliver their product, movie downloads appear to be going mainstream. In January 2007, online movie rental pioneer, Netflix announced they would begin offering customers the option of streaming movies to their PC although the availability of titles would be phased in over time. Within six months, Netflix announced that 5 million movies had been viewed using this download feature. The number of movies available to customers for downloading continued to increase and only six weeks later the number of movies viewed online had doubled to 10 million. Clearly, the popularity of downloading was catching hold within the average household.

In August 2007, Blockbuster the other major name in video rental, both online and off, announced that they had purchased Movielink. A joint venture between five major Hollywood movie studios, Movielink offered titles for rental or purchase and had provided early adopters movies for download to PC and portable devices. With the recent acquisition of Movielink, it is anticipated that movie downloads are soon to be an option with Blockbuster as well.

Certainly the events of 2007 appear to be headed toward a future of movie downloads becoming the preferred method of obtaining movies. If the escalating growth in the popularity of movie downloads evident at Netflix continues it would appear that local video stores will continue to lose market share. Similarly it would seem that mail delivery of rentals will begin to abate as well as downloading goes mainstream.

iPhone & iPod Downloads

If you are looking for a gift for your teenager or your husband a membership to an iPhone or iPod download website would be a great idea. If you pick a download site that has a one-time membership fee, then they will be able to download, Movies, TV Shows, Music, Games, Ring Tones and more. Music downloads and Ring Tones seems to be the favorites of most teenagers.

We have checked out several of the iPhone download websites and have come up with four that we feel are very good download sites. In order for them to be rated as the top websites, they need to be easy to use, have the one time membership fee, 24 hour support, software to enable downloading and an endless supply of downloads to offer.

We feel the best site at the present is iPhoneNova. This is probably the oldest iPhone download website and it has been featured on CNN, MTV, NBC and AOL. It has a huge selection of downloads and it's really easy to use. But you can check out the other sites too if you go to our website and read the reviews.

A membership to a good iPhone download website would be a gift that kept on giving long after other gifts would be forgotten. So check it out if you have an iPhone or if you have someone in your life with an iPhone or iPod. You will be glad you did.

BMW vehicles easily support the ipod and MP3 technology

BMW owners have invested in a luxury driving experience when they choose their particular model. No matter which BMW you drive, you can rest assured that it will be a smooth and exhilarating experience. You can make that experience even more sensuous by investing in a quality sound system for your BMW. You might consider installing the apparatus for using an iPod; BMW vehicles easily support this kind of technology. No matter where you go in your BMW, mp3-format songs are available anytime you wish when your convenient iPod is connected to your vehicle's sound system. Digital technology has tremendously changed the availability and ease of use when it comes to audio systems. Have you ever wondered how they get so much information into the iPod BMW?

IPods have reached the point where they not only can play your favorite music, but they can also play movies and slide shows of photos, and can function as a portable hard drive. Podcasts of your favorite radio and Internet shows as well as the bmw mp3 -format audiobooks are now also easily available for use on your iPod. IPods are very handy to use because of their tiny size and the easy click wheel. The iPods with the greatest storage capacity can hold up to 20,000 of your favorite songs. No more listening to something you don't like--now you can always have a great tune for your aural enjoyment, because you chose it. You can search for just the song you want by using the click wheel. You also have the capability to use your iPod while driving by using steering-wheel controls.

IPods cram all of that digital information into the tiniest of spaces by using tiny sliders on the hard drive. This powerful hard drive, as well as very sensitive thin film, allows for a greater capacity of digital bits to be recorded upon it that other types of media. Both of these features enable the huge capacity of these minuscule digital powerhouses.

IPods are able to play music that is in mp3 format. Mp3 files work based on the idea of compression. Many digital files have information that appears more than one time in the file. What compression does, in a digital format, is to leave only a single incidence of each bit of information, and then reference it when the information is needed in the particular program that is running. In this way, the quality of the music is not harmed by reducing the redundant information that goes into making up the file. This compression factor is what allows speedy downloads of music, and also allows for increased storage of songs on your iPod's hard drive, because they take up less space there.
Experience the joy of an iPod and a digital commute the next time you pull out of your driveway.

Getting The Buzz Out About Your Business

Getting a "Buzz" On
Viral marketing has matured a bit over the years. There seems to have been a shift to the web not just being seen by agencies and brands as another tick box for any ad campaign, which is significant enough, but now being the medium where a campaign is launched to create a buzz before it hits TV and print. Even before a movie is released which used to be seen as the pre-launch buzz-generation activity. Big business "gets it".
Buzz works! It can work for small and start-up businesses, as well. The planning stage of a viral campaign will set out objectives and develop the viral theme for a buzz. There are three core components to any viral campaign and businesses of any size can use them. They are:
1. The creative material: the viral agent that embodies the message you want to spread in a digital format (image, video, text, etc). The trick is to put together material that people will be eager to share with their family and friends and people are much more eager to share "advertainment" and advertisement.
2. Seeding: distributing and placing the agent online in places that provide the greatest potential spread. Direct viral material downloads or links on specialist viral third-party web sites in order to create awareness and spread before users get to the campaign destination site.
3. Tracking: Measuring the spread of the campaign to provide accountability and prove success. It is absolutely vital that you know what is or is not working. The only way to get that information is to track the results of your seeding.
Lessons have been learned, trends have been developed and there is definitely some science involved in creating a buzz successfully. The buzz technique is here to stay and, if used strategically, it can make a difference to the success of your e-business.

Simply search google for terms like "free full game downloads" and you will get a coulple of million results shown.So why am I stating the obvious? Take a look below.

Downloading copyrighted and pirated software off these sites is illegal and could get both you and your computer into trouble.A much easier alternative to take advantage of is the use of pay per download services.These types of websites only require a small membership fee which in turn allows you to have unlimited access to databases of millions of the latest pc games,software and movies.These files are not pirated and contain no infections period.

Sony PSP Game Download

Trying to find your favourite sony psp game for download on the internet today can be a difficult task for some if you don't have the right resources.Having said that, there are not many sony psp download sites which offer psp downloads for free.
Those that do offer free psp downloads, whether it be games,movies,music or wallpapers, can sometimes put both you and your computer at risk.Why is this? This is because when you download games or software off free websites, most of the time those downloads are prone to contain spyware, corrupted files and possibly even copyrighted software.After all, sometimes there has to be a price to be paid for getting something for free.So this is where I would recommend the use of sony psp pay per download websites.These types of websites are great as they offer high speed reliable downloads off fast servers, the downloads contain no spyware and are certainly not pirated.There are lots of these types of websites available on the internet today.One just has to search around for the one that offers the best service.
To me personally, being able to download the latest psp games and movies off these high speed servers is almost more convenient than going down to the store.Most of the time you even find that the game or movie you are looking for is sold out.This can be very frustrating.
So take some time to look around and see what you think.I currently use psp wizard as they offer one of the lowest membership rates around.If you would like to check them out please visit the website below.

People buy things to satisfy emotional needs.
Some words or phrases cater to emotional needs more than others. Use these emotional trigger words in your titles, ads, emails, and sales pages to encourage people to buy. As proof, from which ad below would you prefer to purchase?:

Ad 2) Two XYZ Collectibles - Good price - No charge to ship.
Both of these ads are selling the same thing. But doesn't ad 1 sound much more appealing? If you were like most people, you would prefer to buy from ad number 1. In that ad, all of the key words are used from the list below.
Try using some of these words in your ads, sales pages, titles, and emails and watch your sales increase!

Using Meditation Downloads

Using meditation downloads to help you visualize is a sire fire way to help you gain perspective on your life. I fell in love with the documentary The Secret. I had trouble using the law of attraction till I found that I needed to meditate. I found that when I spent fifteen minutes of quiet time alone, I started to perceive a better life for myself.
I really got into using meditation downloads when I read the Master Key System by Charles Haanel. Author Haanel wrote that meditation daily and focusing on what you what in life, helps bring your dreams to fruition. I was taken aback and was literally shocked when I saw huge gains in my progress toward my dream life.
Using meditation downloads will also help you get rid of resistance you have built up over your past life experiences. You simply put on some mood music and begin relaxing. It's a great escape from your eveyday life. It helps you get rid of stress and it can relieve your aches and pains.
I use meditation downloads for visualization, but I heard of people who deal in high stress situations daily and mediation helps relieve that stress.
I know some people are suspect on the credibility of meditation, but when you realize how many successful people implement mediation. Well, it makes sense that every person should at least try it and see how it can change their perspective on their day. Nothing makes me relax and fall asleep faster than taking time out of my day to meditate.

Download Psp Emulators

Are you trying to download PSP emulator software? A lot of people don't know this, but using your Sony PSP with emulator software can give you a whole new dimension in your enjoyment of the machine. Imagine how it would feel to download and play some of yesterday's classics like Super Mario and Sonic?

Using emulator software with your PSP is something that needs to be learned. In the first place, you will need to get hold of some Emulation software for your PSP. This software is there to enable you to download and use the games from other systems on your PSP. Along with just about anything for PSP, there are many different places you can obtain this software from online, but a lot of them are completely disreputable and can cause damage to your PSP or your computer. We will now show you the genuine places where you can download PSP emulator software.

As soon as you have been able to download PSP emulator software, you will be able to start looking for games to apply it to. The game files which you use with emulation software are sometimes called Roms, and before you download these it is worth checking on the legal situation. It can often be illegal to download roms for emulators, without having the original developer of the software make the download property of the public domain, as can happen. One possible way round this is that the law in a lot of countries will let you keep a backup copy of a game you have already bought. This means that if you have games on your old system, you can transfer them without any problems!

What you then need to do in downloading PSP emulator software is to check the firmware of your PSP. Some of the firmwares don't allow you to use such software, and as a general rule you are better with an earlier one. There is no need to be concerned about this, as it is not difficult to downgrade your firmware to an earlier version if you find you need to do this.

You will find that getting hold of reliable places to download PSP emulators from, and the games that go with them, is not easy. There are basically three different types of sites -

1-Sites which are free, but feature extremely limited selections, software that often won't work, downloads which are at a ridiculously slow speed, and sometimes riddled with dangerous viruses or spyware even if they do work.

2-Dishonest sites that pretend to offer free memberships, but try to grab your credit card information as soon as you try to download. This is completely dishonest, and I for one don't like the idea of wasting good money on very, very old games that I already have.

3-Genuine membership sites that charge you a one off fee for lifetime access to unlimited downloads. Sites like these are easily the best option to download PSP emulator software from, as they are managed by professionals, and offer a very large range of downloads at extremely good speed. To top off the deal you will also be able to download PSP games, as well as the emulation stuff, for just the one initial fee.

Whatever you do, don't put your equipment at risk by using these dangerous and dishonest sites.
Play the download game, PSP style-Game Download Tip 2 Don't believe outrageous claims. If a site is making promises that seem to good to be realistic, then you can take it that they are lying. In addition to the dishonest and illegal sites mentioned above, you will also find many sites which are just scams. At first they look like the answer to a PSP user's prayers,but as soon as you try a download the truth will reveal itself. As soon as you hit the button, they will ask for your credit card details! Usually this will not just be for a one off fee, but a monthly membership charge. This is despite the claims they make of offering "free" PSP game downloads. These sites should be avoided as well. It is certainly dishonest to claim that something is free, and then charge for it, and paying a monthly fee is totally unnecessary.
Play the download game, PSP style-Game Download Tip 3 Be prepared to spend money on a good service- There are a few download sites for PSP which can give you what you need and save you a lot of money. You do need to pay a fee to use these sites, but these fees are merely the justifiable expense of maintaining the site. The fee you have to pay is only charged once, and for that you get unlimited downloads. The fee is often only $30 or $40. What you pay allows the site to ensure that they always have the latest downloads, and that the fast speeds of the downloads are maintained. For the price of one game in a retail shop, you get unlimited access to all new games. Not bad.
This is all you need to know to win the download game, PSP style. Avoid the scam sites like the plague, and find one good download site to stay with. Get this step right, and you can enjoy unlimited downloads for just one single one off charge.

4 Steps To Downloading Free PSP Games

Do you want to download games onto PSP? Hardly anybody doubts the usefulness and many facets of the Sony PSP, but a lot of people feel that the games themselves are considerably overpriced. If you do your research, you can find the right places and methods to download games onto our PSPs, and we can even do this without breaking the law!
How to Download Games onto PSP- Step 1- Your standard PSP games will come on disc, or UMD as they are called. As you download games onto PSP however, they will go directly on to a memory stick/card. (Although some people call them memory sticks, and others refer to them as memory cards, there is no difference between the two.) The standard PSP memory card of 32mb will just be big enough to do the job with modern games. PSP owners as a rule should get the biggest and best card within their budget. It is not difficult any more to find reasonable deals on 2 or 4 gig models on eBay and Amazon. When you have acquired your memory card, it will need to be formatted before you can use it. This will effectively wipe the card clean, and is an essential step, so don't leave it out.
How to Download Games onto PSP-Step 2- One of the biggest problems is finding a place to download the games from. It is not difficult to find places that will let you download games onto PSP, but so many of them are unreliable and dangerous. Apart from the risk of downloading something that will be different from what was promised, you could even find your computer infected with a virus or spyware. Not good! Make sure you find a reputable site to download PSP games from. The trustworthy ones will charge a small fee in advance, and for that you will get access to unlimited downloads.
How to Download Games onto PSP-Step-3- As you start downloading to your computer, make sure you only download files that end in "PSP" or have "PSP" in the title, as otherwise the file will not be compatible. Sadly it will often be found that the untrustworthy sites out there will trick you with all sorts of different files as downloads, so make sure you are very careful about a file before you download it. A very good idea when downloading the games is to save them to their own folder on your desktop called "PSP Downloads". This is the most logical place to put them!
How to Download Games onto PSP-Step 4- Once you have quite a few games downloaded, you can then transfer therm from your PC onto the memory card of your PSP. This is not complicated, and will only need a standard USB cable to connect the two, and the PC should then accept the PSP and think of it as some form of removable drive, like a flashdrive or removable HD. When everything is connected, you need to open up the PSP using the PC and drag and drop the needed files onto the PSP memory stick, just as you would with any kind of removable drive. It is important that as you do this, you put the files into folders marked PSP, and then GAME on your memory card. You must create these files if they are not there already, and it makes sense to use all capital letters.
How to Download Games onto PSP-Step 6- As soon as you have transferred the games to your PSP, you should be able to play them by opening up the GAME menu and choosing the game you want from the stick. You may get error massages, and these are often caused by incompatible firmware. This happens most often with downloading homebrew games. It can mean that you have to downgrade the firmware for your PSP to be able to play these homebrew games.
It really is quite easy to download games onto PSP when you have learned how to do it, the hardest part is finding a reputable download source!

Download MP4 for PSP

Do you want to download MP4 for PSP? Far too many people believe that by owning a PSP they have to pay ridiculous prices for UMD movies every time they want to see a film. There are alternatives. UMD's are very expensive, and it doesn't seem right that you have to pay twice for a film that you already have on DVD. Downloading MP4 for PSP will give you what you need!
There is no shortage of place on the internet where you can download free MP4 movies for your PSP. The difficulty comes in knowing which ones can be trusted, and which ones you have to steer well clear of! This guide will show you the different facets of the 3 types of download sites you can encounter, and what you will find in each case.
PSP MP4 Download Site Type 1 The first type of site we need to discuss are the bottom of the barrel download MP4 for PSP type sites, and are totally free of charge. It is not possible for sites like this to be legal and above board, as they are claiming to have 100% free downloads. It should come as no surprise to find that the movies/MP4s are always very old, and many times you will find that when you have download them they will not work properly. In many cases they will not even be the movie you wanted anyway! These sites should definitely be avoided. As they are breaking the law by offering these downloads, and often screw up the files anyway, it shouldn't be that much of a surprise to find that they also spread spyware and viruses.
PSP MP4 Download Site Type 2 A "free" membership site. The word "free" is in the quote marks for a reason. Although these sites are genuinely free to join, they are fooling us. They will offer you unlimited downloads, and some of the downloads are genuine up to date material, including MP4s for your PSP, but the catch is that they will charge you heavily for each download. They are never honest and up front about this. The best advice is to avoid these sites as well. If they are dishonest enough to behave like this, what will they do with your credit card information?
PSP MP4 Download Site Type 3 The unlimited download sites. These are genuine, up front, honest sites. The internet does have a few genuine sites which will tell you the truth at the start, and then provide good quality downloads. You will need to pay a fee upfront, and for that one off payment you will be able to download MP4 for PSP, games for psp, music, all kinds of things. The payment is often around $30 or $40, and you get good quality high speed downloads. You get MP4s that are in great condition and are not overseas copies. The database is kept refreshed on an ongoing basis, ensuring you the very latest MP4 downloads for your PSP. These genuine sites are the best answer to download MP4 for PSP. For the price of two UMD movies, you will get access to unlimited downloads and keep as many MP4s as you can. A very good deal.
These are the choices you have if you want to download MP4 for PSP. It is very strongly advised that you use the sites in option number three, as once you have joined the site and paid a one off fee, you can download MP4 for PSP as often as you like.

Audio Book Mp3 Downloads Make an Easy Commute

If you're like me and most everyone else I know, you spend quite a bit of time in your car driving back and forth to work. For me, this commuting was an absolute nightmare, full of frustration over the time wasted and the inability to do anything about it. I say "was" because I recently discovered the world of audio books, and now I actually look forward to my daily commute.
Audio books were originally designed to allow people with poor eyesight or blindness to be able to enjoy reading without having to learn Braille or having someone else read to them. As more and more audio books became available, sighted people also began to catch on to audio books as a way to fit reading into very busy schedules. By having audio books in convenient formats that can be listened to through any car stereo, busy people were now able to "read" much more than before.
Audio books are available in several different formats. Audio cassette tape is by far the most prevalent format, though the format has the distinct drawback of wearing out quickly either from tape stretching or outright breakage. CD format audio books are quickly becoming the more commonly available format because of the durability of CDs. The drawback with CDs is the expense, as a CD format audio book can be nearly twice as expensive as its cassette format counterpart.
More recently, MP3 format audio books have become available through several online audio book stores. This is by far the most convenient format since an entire book can fit on your iPod or other MP3 player with room to spare. If your car stereo is MP3 compatible, you may even be able to put the entire book on an MP3 CD or simply plug your MP3 player into the auxiliary jack. Even if your car stereo is not MP3 compatible, FM transmitters are readily available that will allow you to listen to your MP3 audio book through your car stereo.
If you're dreading the next time you have to get in the car to drive to work, you should consider "reading" a good book while you're driving. You'll be amazed at how much shorter the drive seems to be. You may even begin to look forward to
that drive, as I do!

Why Does Cursor Freezes Up On The Computer

The answer is pretty simple. All computer crashing and hanging problems occur because of similar reasons.
Not just the cursor but also windows, programs and everything can crash if your computer is not up to date. Or has a lot of junk files, downloads, pictures and useless information. Or you do not do any computer maintenance. (It does not refer to cleaning your keyboard).
Steps to take now:
Clean the Junk from your computer by following:
Removing temporary internet files using Disk Cleaup. Removing unwanted (you do not use) folders, files, shortcuts, software, games, programs, icons, images, videos, downloads and all you can find on your computer that is useless. However delete only things you that you know they are safe to be removed.
That should not only fix the cursor that hangs but also improve your computer performance. Cleaning your computer, maintaining it in good shape will ensure it never crashes and works at its best.
Your cursor freezes when the computer has problems. If problems occur often it is because your computer is not at its best performance.
In rare cases it can be a spyware/adware or some critical objects. So you need to scan your computer with an anti adware and spyware software and also with an antivirus software.
Temporary Solution
1) Click Start, then Click Control Panel 2) Double Click Mouse 3) Enable the cursor trail
You will be able to see your mouse, even after the original cursor freezes on screen.
Steps that can fix the problem.
This may also solve your problem. ONLY do if you are sure that you know how.
1) Right Click on MyComputer icon. Then Click Properties. 2) Click on Hardware Tab, then Click on Device Manager. 3) Uninstall your mouse AND keyboard. Connect your mouse directly to the USB.
Then reboot your computer (restart) and let the mouse reinstall automatically.
Keep your computer in shape and you will have less problems.

Downloading Cross Stitch Patterns From The Internet

Did you know that there is a huge supply of new and interesting cross stitch patterns on the Internet? With cross stitch software becoming more popular as well as the price ever shrinking, many cross stitch fanatics are trying their hand at creating their own cross stitch patterns
What are the benefits of downloading cross stitch patterns?
The price is one of the biggest benefits of downloading cross stitch patterns. If you purchase from a hobby store, you have to pay for the paper the patterns is printed on, the ink the printer has used, the packaging, and the enormous mark-up price the hobby store puts on the pattern. Where are buying online, will cost you a lot less. You are buying the product as a digital file, which gives you the benefit of not having to pay the supplier for the printing costs as you print the pattern from your own computer. Each cross stitch pattern designer will charge you a different amount, the price will be based on the time it took them to complete the design rather than the supplies and packaging.
Another huge benefit of downloading cross stitch patterns, is the variety available to you, you can purchase any thing from tiny motifs for Christmas cards, to works of art that have been converted in to cross stitch patterns. If you went to a hobby store, the choice you have is rather limited.
Are there different types of downloadable cross stitch patterns?
Yes. I would put downloadable cross stitch patterns into two different types. The first would be converted pictures or works of art. This is where the artist has used the cross stitch software to convert the picture into colored blocks suitable for cross stitch. Be careful when purchasing this type of downloadable cross stitch pattern, as often there are copyright issues with these images. Make sure the person who is selling the cross stitch pattern has permission from the original artist to sell the images (e.g. an official Disney reseller should only be allowed to sell Disney cross stitch etc), don't be afraid to ask the seller for this information, if they can't provide it then you should move on to the next seller.
The second type of cross stitch pattern would be the more familiar type of pattern. Often a cartoon version of something, these are normally designs that have been created by hand first, and are often more traditional. You generally won't find sellers selling both of these together.
How do I use the cross stitch pattern once I've downloaded it?
And cross stitch pattern that you have downloaded will come in a particular file format. Normally this would be a PDF (you can download a free PDF reader online). However, occasionally the seller will offer the pattern in the format of the software that created it, so make sure you choose the right one. For PDF patterns, you will normally find they are printable over a number of A4 pages. You will normally get a completed example of the pattern, and a charted version. The charted version will be split up, which means you can either print off the entire pattern and stick it together for one large pattern or use each page individually for the area you are working on.
If you are still unsure about downloading cross stitch patterns from the Internet, many sellers offer free downloads, try a couple of these first to see if you are happy with the results.

How to "Ringtone-ize" Music perfectly

Pump your cell phone up with your favorite music
Here is a free useful tutorial that explains a way to make high quality free ringtones from your free music downloads that you already have.
Let me start with a question here, do you have a Multi Giga Hard Drive with 50% full of your favorite music & songs? Well I guess you do since we are all starting to use our computers to store music. Then what about creating your cell phone ringtones from these?
For instance, let's assume having a Nokia Cell phone that plays mp3 files with 64 or 128 MB memory stick and of course you have the phone data cable*.
We will go through all steps of making a ringtone for the above example of Nokia cell phone, starting from selecting the music and end up by uploading it to your phone. **
Step No.1 - Selecting your best part
Select your songs/music file, then try to find out for each one which part can be assigned as a nice ringtone, think of it this way "where is the best melody or music that can fit around 40 seconds ringtone?"
Here is a hint "Most probably people will consider the best part starts when the singer begin to sing i.e. the first 5-15 seconds"
Anyways, for me I always think of it like this "when my cellular ring suddenly which part most probably fit for many occasions?"
Put the best part you heard in your mind then go to Step 2 below.
Step No. 2 - Editing Your Music to Match the Cell Phone Speakers.
The main point here is to convert the high quality, stereo music to a cell phone ringtone.
80% of most popular cell phones has single, small, low quality speaker enough to play simple tones so its necessary to do some editing before using it on the phone.
Now, in order to get noise-free ringtone we have to cut down some bands of frequencies without this having a loud, noisy sound that can be annoying rather than nice when played on cellular speaker.
Please note the editing procedure we will describe below depends on two main things:-
1st The type of your Song/Music file.
Click the mouse right button then select properties from the menu, look for file type there. If your file is MP3 the lets get started "if it's other than mp3 like wav, acc or something else then we will talk about it later"
2nd Your Cellphone,
I
f it's Sony Ericsson then you don't have to cut frequencies because literally Sony Ericsson cellphones have a great stereo speakers that can play any mp3 files with all high & low band frequencies. (i.e. if your cell phone is Sony Ericsson then you will hear it on your phone just like the way you hear it on your PC after you finish).
Now, lets assume we have an MP3 file and a Non-Sony phone then first download a free software from the internet to edit mp3 files, here are some like references:
1. www.mystikmedia.com/download/setup_blazemp.exe 2. Mp3 - wav Editor - Trial version
I personally used Cool Edit and Sound Forge which are little bit professional programs but almost half of these software use similar themes, we will explain here how-to edit frequencies and build a high quality free ringtones.
Once you get the mp3 editor software installed and working, drag in the first song on your list.
Editing Procedure as follows:
1. Click on the Play button and start playing the song till you reach the part where you ringtone should start.
2. Using the mouse curser, click & drag till your reach the ending part. "it will be selected and shaded in different color"
3. Play the selected part and refine your selection till you reach the best part.
4. Replay it again just to be 100% sure and its perfect for a ringtone.
5. Now move the mouse curser over the selected shaded area then click trim or crop. What will happen basically is all other unselected part of the song will erase and the only selected part will stay there.
6. Now the most important thing to do is to save the new file by selecting Save As and give a new name to the file (like myringtone1.mp3).
7. Be careful here not to over write over the original song, again you have to do SAVE AS and choose a new name in order to save the ringtone in another file not over the original song otherwise you will lose the song forever.
8. Now after you saved your ringtone on a new file called myringtone1.mp3 you can freely edit this ringtone without affecting the original song.
Side Note: if your cell phone is Sony Ericsson then jump to STEP No. 3 below to upload to your phone. Or try to find out some work here and download free ringtones on this site. 9. Now, limiting frequencies is what we need to do, so try to find something called equalizer or graphical equalizer within the software you're using in order cut down some high and low unwanted frequencies.
10. Below I'll show you a table of each frequency range & it's level of volume Reduction of Gain in db (decibel)
Frequency range Hz Volume Level in db 20 - 80 Hz From -25 to -20 db 80 - 160 Hz From -20 to -6 db 160 - 350 Hz From -6 to 2 db 350 - 500 Hz From 2 to 3 db 500 - 2K Hz Keep it on 3 db 2K - 5.4K Hz From 3 to 2.5 db 5.4K - 10K Hz From 2.5 to -3 db 10K -15K Hz From -3 to -20 db 15K - 20K Hz From -20 to -25 db
Cut down and boost frequency range as per the above table i.e. giving it a volume reduction and volume gain according to the db level given above. That could be done using a normal equalizer or graphical equalizer in any editor software.
Note that we're giving a high boost on the center frequencies where the vocalist sounds are centered and thus vocal sound will be more obvious when played as a ringtone.
11. Now once you're done with frequencies, play your work and try to edit volume levels till you reach the exact level you want then save the new file in a new folder lets call it [ringtones ready to upload].
Step No. 3 uploading to your cell phone.
The step is to be continued next week, mean while you may start to making your own ringtones.
I hope this part of the guide is helpful so far and I would appreciate to have your comments.
For instance, you can find ringtones in download-melodies.com where you can download free ringtones

Video iPods: Breaking Myths

According to various industry sources, it appears as if the new iPods are selling incredibly well. Indeed, many skeptics doubted whether the Apple's new iPod video would be an instant success due to a lack of significant content and the fact that the video isn't as high of quality as it probably could be. However, despite these potential drawbacks, early reports indicate that Apple is going to be seeing more profits than ever now that the new video iPod has hit the shelves.
The 5th Generation Apple iPod is definitely pushing technological boundaries by combining video capabilities into the mp3 world. Future success was undoubted, but such quick success was indeed looked upon as being not as likely. However, analysts report positively for Apple. "In our recent proprietary checks with industry and channel sources, we believe sales of 5G iPods are coming in ahead of expectations," American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu said in a research note. "In some cases, in Apple's own channels, including its physical stores and online store, we believe 5G iPods are surprisingly outselling even the very popular iPod nano."
Businessweek has also pointed out that in most cases there is a 5-7 day delay in fulfilling the orders of the 5th Generation Apple iPod due to a constraint in supplies. Apparently, Apple is looking for a second supplier of LCD screens to relieve this constraint and get more iPods onto store shelves.
There are many places where you can find iPod video downloads. The most established is iTunes and it is definitely not a stranger to you. iTunes now have more than 200 TV shows and you can download each episode of your favorite video at $1.99. Others like Amazon and Walmart are also popular sites to find video downloads.

What Everybody Ought To Know About The Best Ipod Download Sites

There are many websites on the Internet nowadays that offer a wide variety of downloads for ipod, these can range from music and TV shows, over to movies, audio books and games. This article will explain the similarities and differences between these sites, and outline what to look for in a good ipod download site.
The most popular and well-known among these sites is the iTunes Store, which is officially run by Apple itself. In addition to music, the store also sells TV shows, movies, music videos and games, all priced from 99 cents (music) to $9.99+ (movies), with a $1.99 price tag for TV shows and music videos. To buy any file, a user needs to pay with either a credit card with a billing address only within certain countries, or an iTunes gift card.
Most other ipod download sites differ from the iTunes Store in that there are no pay-per-download fees, which is a fixed price you pay every-time you download something. Instead, these sites offer a fixed price, which you pay when you first join up, which grants the user access to a private database where the media is stored. The user can then download as much or as little as he/she wants without paying anything extra.
Many good download sites offer a wide range of media for the user to download at his/her leisure, sometimes this could be upwards of one-hundred million files, all of which should be high quality. Remember, apart from just music, these also sites offer TV shows, movies, software, audio and even games.
As is the case with some of these sites, a converter is often needed to convert any video files, whether they are TV shows or movies, into MPEG-4 format, so the files are compatible and can be played on an ipod, as many of the video files will often not be in this format. In these cases, some kind of converter is normally provided free when a user joins.
Either step-by-step tutorials or some kind of technical support (or both) are often provided for the user who isn't tech-savvy, and usually at no extra cost. If this isn't provided, then I suggest looking elsewhere. With some sites additional software is also provided, such as audio recorders, able to capture streaming audio from the internet and then store the audio as MP3 files, and some kind of anti-spyware, to screen all the files before you download them.
The most important aspect to look for however has to be ease of navigation. If you cannot navigate the site easily, then it will be harder to find what you are looking for, which will just lead to wasted time and frustration.
These sites are legal and safe, and are a much better alternative to downloading media illegally and risking prosecution. The flat fee a user pays when he/she joins up is often around the $35 mark, and the more the user downloads, the more worth it the price becomes. Often with all good ipod download sites, a money back guarantee is included, usually this lasts 30 days, giving the user time to browse and make sure it is right for them.
To summarize: a good ipod download site must have a one-time sign-up fee, a wide range of high-quality media, a converter to make sure all the files can be converted into a format which is compatible with your ipod, good technical support, some kind of anti-spyware to ensure the safety of files and easy navigability.

Download Movies and Burn Them to DVD

So you want to download movies and burn to DVD? You are not the only one! There are millions of people doing this every day all over the world. Many of them are doing it illegally, but more and more people switch over and download movies and burn to DVD legally every single day.
It is no wonder that so many people download movies and burn to DVD now rather than renting them, or going out and buying the movie from the store. The number one reason is convenience! The hardest part is deciding which movie you want to download. The options are unlimited. Once you decide what you want to download you just search for it. With most people having high speed internet now, most movies download in almost no time at all.
Another popular way to get movies now is rental through the mail. This is pretty convenient except I know from personal experience that if you are watching and mailing movies back too fast, they will slow down the rate at which they mail them to you. Also the price of this adds up, it can range anywhere from $10-$40 per month.
This brings me to my next point. It is MUCH cheaper to pay a one time fee and be able to download movies and burn to DVD. The one time fee of $34.95 will guarantee you unlimited movie downloads forever. There are also 1 year and 2 year plans available. For that same $34.95 you could rent approximately 10 movies at your local store, that's not counting the gas or time you spend going there and coming back. They even include, free of charge, software to be able to burn all of your movies. They are even compatible with mp3 players that play video as well.
You do not even have to be tech savvy to download movies and burn to DVD either, the software is extremely user friendly, but they even offer excellent one on one technical support in case you hit any speed bumps. With a 100% money back guarantee, then there is absolutely no reason to switch over from the out dated ways of getting movies and begin to download movies and burn to DVD!
