EMI Catalog is Now DRM-Free on iTunes
Before I finally finish my “Organize Your Music” series, which I swear I’m working on, I’d like to just point out that there was some not-so-new news today.

Organize Your Music Files: Part I
So now that you have found some new music and amassed a terribly large collection of Mp3’s (in my case, 80 GB’s worth), the question becomes, how do you organize and listen to all those songs?
I have a few suggestions to help you organize all that data into something listenable.
Note: The first-first step when doing anything with your Mp3’s, should be to back them up. External hard drives are cheap and easy to use. Don’t be scared. Go get one and hook it up, before doing anything else. Also, I use iTunes, so many of my suggestions are iTunes-centric, and may or may not work with some other player/libraries.
Part I: Fix the tags - In most cases, you’re probably going to have some tag issues. You don’t have all the album artwork, your songs have incorrect track names, etc. This is probably the hardest part of organizing your collection. There really isn’t an easy fix to this problem. You will, at some point, have to go in there and make some changes. (Arrrgggghh!!!) There are, however, some ways to make this process a little less time consuming and frustrating.

Okay, so I’ve been away for a while. Blogger was creating some real headaches for me so I went ahead and did the inevitable and switched to Wordpress. As you might imagine, the transition wasn’t easy for a blogging newbie like myself, but, I made it…Finally.
Anyway, it was a busy week, and one […]
When Will The Other Major Labels Join EMI?
Now that one of the majors, EMI, has agreed to drop DRM from their music sold over the Internet, the question becomes if and when the rest of the major labels will follow suit.
I believe that it will be sooner rather than later, but others disagree.
Brian Garrity of Billboard writes,
“Sources at rival major labels are […]
