Music... The Perfect Remedy To A Long & Tiring Day
Music is a part of our lives almost every day. Even if you do
not consider yourself to be a big music fan, you still
unconsciously listen to music everyday. One big place where we
hear music is on the television.
There is background and "mood" music in sitcoms and TV shows
that you watch everyday. We have all heard those catchy
commercial jingles that stick with us throughout the day. These
are just some examples of music.
Types of Music
There are so many types of music out there. You can buy CDs,
listen to the radio and even listen to music or learn about
music on TV. MTV, VH1 and various other television channels are
geared towards music. You can turn on your radio and pick up the
waves of many local and some even distant stations that play
different types of music. Music is really everywhere and there
is so much to choose from.
Some of the more common types of music are country, R&B, hip
hop, rock, classical and pop or dance. Many other categories
have came from these basic genres. There are also many different
categories according to decade. For example, you can get hits of
the 70s, 80s, 90s and today. These will play you all the hits
and chart toppers from that era.
Digital Music
Just like many other things in life today, music has went
digital and there are many more opportunities now for you to
enjoy it. You can download music online and store it on your
computer. You can also listen to music online. There are many
websites that let you listen to music and there are literally
thousands of stations so you can listen to any type of music you
like. Many of these let you customize them so you only listen to
what you like and nothing that you don't.
Another breakthrough in the digital music scene was the MP3
file. MP3s are just a way to compress a music file since music
files are fairly large. The MP3 can be downloaded to your
computer, stored in folders and also transferred to MP3 players.
There are portable MP3 players that are basically modern day
Walkmans but instead of radio, or CDs, you have digital files.
The amount of files you will be able to store will vary but you
can store many more than you could on a CD because they are
compressed. They are stored inside your machine in digital
format so you don't have to worry about skipping or losing your
station.
