The An Assortment Of Solutions To Take In Tunes

By Gretta Castenada


Think back a decade or two. How did you listen to your music back then? How did you buy it? Times have really changed a great deal since then.

The music business was thriving then, since albums would typically sell at a rate of over a dollar per song. Then there were the singles as well, which only consisted of 2 or 3 tracks and sold like hotcakes.

Were you ever a member of Columbia House? Do you remember their initial offers of 12 CDs for 99 cents and the like? Those were extremely tempting since all those albums would ordinarily cost a couple hundred dollars.

Once the world went digital, the entire landscape altered. People began downloading MP3s, with each file only consisting of a few megabytes. As hard drives became bigger, it was possible to build up huge libraries of music without running out of space.

There was no iTunes back then. While it was possible to buy a few albums digitally here and there, the music industry was still pushing its physical CDs harder than anything else.

People started coming up with ways to find their music for free. Whether they were downloading with Napster, Limewire, or some other third party software, you could suddenly find almost anything you wanted within seconds.

Several years later, this trend has somewhat died out due to the fact that record labels have finally partnered up with some websites to offer unlimited access to music libraries and full albums. Listeners all over the world are better off for this.

How do you get your music today? Are you old fashioned, still buying the albums and putting them into your stereo? Do you download your music free of charge? Do you buy digital albums and singles? Or, have you migrated to a streaming service?

Tunes You Do Not Want To Go Without Hearing

By Nikki Poppe


There's been a lot of great music that came out in August. I might even go so far as to say that this was my favorite month of the year for music releases. There are plenty of great albums that I spent a great deal of time listening to, and many of them came in the form of free files that I found at RCRD LBL, Spotify, and other providers out there. It's hard to top something like that.

I know you're probably wondering which releases I'm specifically talking about, so it's time for me to name a few. Due to time constraints I'm only going to share three here, but you'll be more than happy to have discovered any of these three once you hear them.

Do you know who Ry Cooder is? If you don't, your parents probably do because the man has been around forever. This doesn't mean that his best days are behind him, as Pull Up Some Dust & Sit Down is one of the best things he's ever created.

My number 2 pick is Stephen Malkmus with Mirror Traffic. The former Pavement front man has churned out another album to join the ranks of his consistently brilliant career.

No album hooked me more than Skying by The Horrors though. This is a must listen if you haven't heard it yet.

Looking forward, there's so much more good stuff on the way as well. Through the rest of the year, we'll see some of the top bands out there coming out with follow up efforts to their previous ones, and just about every single genre will experience a few highlights worthy of waiting for.

Indie lovers can't wait for Wilco to drop its next LP, and it's going to happen soon. Will they produce another Yankee Hotel Foxtrot?

Pop lovers have good reason to be excited, especially those who watched American Idol. Scotty McCreery is coming out with his first solo album. Then there's even Blink 182 making a big comeback and coming out with some new tunes.

Clearly, there's a lot to look forward to and that truly makes 2011 a special year in the music world.

A Variety Of Audio Downloading Absolutely Free

By Susann Steeno


Hunting down the right music downloads is easy these days, but making sure a service has everything you want has become a bit harder. Sure there are tons of places to find totally legal MP3 downloads for free. But how many of them are going to have the types of music downloads that you actually want?

The biggest pro of many sites is the amount of content that they have. You have to make sure that you're finding free music downloads in a good quantity. That way you can fill up an entire iPod with what you find.

Or you want to make sure that you've got options on sound quality. That can be pretty important, so that you can make sure you're getting files that are worth listening to in the end.

You're not listening to the radio. You'd expect poor quality then, as the radio just doesn't have the ability to play really high quality, or CD level sounds in most scenarios.

Another cool thing to look for from the top free music downloads is the extras that you can get. Sure you want the downloads, and to be able to discover new music and new artists. But how about what's more than that as well?

It's cool to be able to get things like music videos sometimes as well. Every iPod is a video player now practically, so it's fun to have things to watch on them when you're on the go, and music videos are great for that short burst of entertainment.

You'll also find that many sites these days actually have podcasts too. That way you can hear interviews with artists, or you can even hear taped radio shows as well.

That way, if you don't want to program your iPod with play lists yourself, someone else can do that for you. Then you can just sit back, and enjoy a full radio program, filled with new and cool music, all totally free of charge.

How Does DJ Software Work For Deejays

By Viantala Sunreela


A lot of individuals aspire to deejay, and a lot of people are deejays. For many individuals, they feel as if they are treading on unfamiliar ground when it comes to digital equipment. This is quite understandable, because the concept has only been around for the last 5-10 years. This type of equipment has evolved tremendously over the years, but you might wonder, 'how does DJ software work?"

In comparison to the traditional vinyl setup, hardware, and physical media it demands, an MP3-centric mixing station makes its straightforward and affordable. Most companies offer a free trial or a limited version of the program to get consumers hands dirty. Trial versions and limited programs allow potential consumers to mix basic play-lists.

If one wishes to get the full-featured version, he must pay for a license or an upgrade. A virtual DJ is commonly packaged with USB-centric mixing consoles. There are many programs that are directed to new users and many more directed to people more experienced.

The program offers a stylish, intuitive interface that is comprehensible for the musically inclined. Many companies may ship the package as a CD or enable users to download it from a website, in some cases, both. When the program automatically populates folders in a tree-like fashion, it saves the user effort and time in organizing music lists.

There will be a multifunction area where musicians can browse their tracks, add effects, make recordings, and play sample music bites. Just like the name implies, it has two digital turntables. Producers have the capabilities to cue, adjust pitch, shift, loop, scratch, and do other features.

Songs can be dropped in the console, and a bar will visually display waves for those inclined to mix visually. The real challenge is to mix with a mouse and keyboard only. People who deejay manually might find it a challenge to transition to the digital version. The effect of learning exactly how does DJ software work can vary from person to person.

Tonight's X factor top 7 performance show

By Dennis Duncan


Tonight's X factor top 7 performance show was Michael Jackson night. Quite interesting to say the least considering Conrad Murray just got sentenced this week in the Michael Jackson trial. A little odd to say the least. Also, where was Jermaine? Anyone know?



First up for the X factor top 7 performance show was Josh. Let me just say it looked uncomfortable from the get go. Josh was completely out of his element in this genre. His song choice was suspect and I wouldn't have chosen that song. The whole stage show was over produced and didn't add to who Josh really is. Nicole missed this one by a long shot. I can only think that part of Josh's uncomfortableness was due to him being forced in to doing this song, this arrangement and with all the choreography going on. Afterwards, you could see it on his face that he was more than unhappy with the whole thing. I have to admit. This was probably one of his weakest performances. I'm actually a fan of his but tonight I wasn't feeling it from. I have to see the other performances but he may be in trouble.

Well, Astro knocked it out of the park for the X factor top 7 performance show. If he keeps his head straight he may just make it to the top 3. Not sure if he can win it as I am not so sure America will allow him to win. His rap tonight was way on point and, for the first time in some time, he was in the pocket with his cadence. Another upside is that he looked like he was having a really good time and I believe America will pick up on that. I'll also admit that he is really original with his rhymes. He's really a prolific writer and I continue to be impressed with him. Great hook on the tune. When hearing the judges feed back he is finally dropping some "Thank You's" as well. Good to see him be a little more respectful of his opportunity on the Xfactor. Could be the highlight of the X factor Top 7 performance show thus far. X Factor Top 7 Performance Show - the first girl....

The first of the girls for the X factor top 7 performance show was Drew. She's got that "it" thing about her. She's admitted she's been a little uncomfortable in her own skin and I think that resonates with a lot of people, including me when I was getting started in the music business. And, you don't need need to be in the music business to get that. Everyone can relate to that. A truly great rendition of the song. I believe someone on Idol did a version like this a few years ago and I think I coached and produced the vocal for his version. His name was David Cook. I was knocked out when he did his version and Drew hit it out of the park as well. His version was with an acoustic while hers was on piano. She looked vulnerable and sincere in her performance and it was really a stand out performance from her. Them bagging on her about not getting up from the chair was petty. She did exactly what she should have done. While Astro was my favorite of the night up to this point I now have a new favorite for the X factor top 7 performance show and her name is Drew! Nice job Drew.

The next girl up for the X Factor Top 7 Performance Show was our girl Rachel Crow. This girl is going to be a big star but I just don't think she is ready for it yet. Her vocal was pitchy tonight and she just wasn't reaching for and hitting the notes the way she should have and can do. And, she looked a bit uncomfortable with the performance and the song choice. She would have been better off choosing an old school Jackson 5 song. That is, if they could do J5 songs tonight. I'm not sure. She's not improving or getting worse. She's just flying under the radar, staying off the "suck radar" and getting by on the "cute factor" with some vocal talent. There are a lot of those every year on Idol and being that person isn't such a bad idea. You can read about those in my book "My Idol Time". Tonight for the X Factor Top 7 Performance Show she didn't give us anything stellar. X Factor Top 7 Performance Show - the next boy...

I like Marcus. He seems like a genuinely nice character and has got that little bit of something that is appealing. THIS was the perfect genre for him tonight. Nice arrangement on the song, almost the right key (I would have bumped it up a half step higher to push him a little bit and get his tone right on the edge) and an overall really good performance from him. He's right at home with MJ songs. However, his vocal performance wasn't great and that is what he needs at this point of the competition. He looks like he had a good time on the X Factor Top 7 Performance Show but I wasn't blown away. He needs to "go for it" a little more in his vocals. I'm not sure why these coaches on X factor aren't figuring out the right song keys for these contestants. The keys they choose are always just about a half step off from where each contestant should be singing. It just seems natural for me to find that key first then get them working on the song. Looks like they could use some help behind the scenes.....

Chris Rene' was up next. First off, did he fix his teeth? Looks like he had some dental work since last week. Anyhoo, his vocal started out a little rough. Pitchy. Song was, once again, about a half step off from his comfort zone on the bottom end. 1/2 step higher would have been best for him. When he broke it down it he was really connecting with the audience but that was about it. The ending was bad too. Not the best I've seen him do. Chris is a cool cat. I actually dig him and am rooting for him in a big way. He just needs a bit more vocal work and, considering that he has made it this far to the X Factor Top 7 Performance Show, I think he should have improved more by now.

Melanie was last and she looked great. The curly hair suits her better. Enough of that horse crap though. Her vocals for the most part spot on. But, for me, even if a singer is a little bit off, as long as they are going for it, I don't care too much. But, it can't be horribly off. She just barely missed a couple notes and didn't reach high enough for them. She was great tonight. Probably the best of the night in my opinion. She' got it going on and should be okay for next week...

My highlights of the X Factor Top 7 Performance Show night were Drew and Melanie. The weakest of the night were Josh and Chris....Well, who do you think is going home tomorrow night?

How To Learn To Play Guitar For Newbies

By Timson Deboson


When you learn to play guitar for newbies, it can be a wonderful thing to do for many reasons, whether they are creative or practical. For some, it is a needed skill to pursue a certain area or to learn a specific thing, for others, it is a way to broaden their horizons, creative or otherwise. An acoustic six-string guitar is best for this, and a pick can be used for strumming, although this is not necessary.

Patience is another important thing to have, but other than the guitar, there is really nothing more you need to start practicing. Taking these first steps might be even easier if you have an established love for music.

When you are learning how to play the guitar, there are some basics which you will need to know. How the strings are arranged and how they are used to produce notes is one of these things.

There are six of them and they are arranged on the fret board in order of thickness, and each string represents a different note. The thickest string is the lowest, at an E, then in order, it is A, D, G, B and a second E as the highest, thinnest string. It is important to remember these and how your fingers will rest on them.

Of course, your dominant hand is the one used to play the strings in this way, when you play your guitar. The pitch and tone of the notes and chords also depends on which strings you pluck or hold down. Many people prefer to practice holding the guitar so they can, in turn, begin to learn which strings need picking to avoid future mistakes.

The notes are played by pressing down on the strings in order to play the right notes. As well as being able to play the notes themselves, it might take some practice to be able to move between notes with ease. When you are practicing, take care between lessons to really make sure that you have mastered that lesson as it will make future lessons easier.

Breathing and Script Analysis as a Voice-Over Artist

By Vecio Orev


When you're listening to the radio, what makes you stop flipping from channel to channel? Of course your favorite song will make you pause, or maybe you catch an important news broadcast. But do you sometimes find yourself stopping to listen to a commercial? If a commercial is read correctly by a voiceover talent then you should be drawn in to the story-line. If it's a topic that you're interested in, and if the voiceover actor is acting the script well, then it really comes to life!

I am referring to a growing field in the entertainment industry that many people aren't even aware of. Last year, the voiceover industry increased 7% to a $11.7 billion dollar industry! So yes, it can be an incredibly lucrative career that is also fun, rewarding and flexible! If you've been told you have a great voice or distinctive sound, you may have the "chops" for voiceovers. However, there's a lot more to becoming a great voiceover talent then just having a good sound. Voiceovers are voice acting. You need to bring the script to life! When you're reading copy, which is another word for script, you become that character. You need to ask yourself a few basic questions when analyzing the script:

1) What demographic is the script geared toward? Who is the audience that you're speaking to?

2) What is your personal connection with the product? Remember that voiceovers are voice ACTING! So if you can't connect with the product from your personal experiences, how can you (as the actor in this situation) connect with the product?

3) What is the emotion that you want to convey while reading this script?

4) Who do you know who you can picture while reading this script? If you can't personally relate to it, then who (as the actor in this situation) are you picturing that you're talking to? Visualization is very important in voiceovers!

There is always a big-picture reason for reading the script, other than being hired by a client for the voice over job! You can have the best voice in the world, but if you sound like you're reading, you're probably not going to book the job.

In addition to analyzing the script, another important skill you want to master as a voiceover talent is breathing. Using proper breathing techniques as a voice actor is critical in helping you sound natural. When we talk, we take a breath when needed, and usually we never sound like we're running out of air. When a person is reading, if they don't breathe properly, they will sound that way. So the key is to always sound like you're SPEAKING, not reading. Remember to breathe naturally in the correct places within your script.

When breathing properly as a voice actor or singer, you need to intentionally use your diaphragm. By intentionally engaging your diaphragm, it will give you the ability to control your breath will result in more natural sound. It will also help with reading through complete phrases and give you better stamina for longer reads.

How to take a diaphragm breath:

1. Raise your arms up over your head and lower them gently while keeping your ribs raised. This isn't needed to take a diaphragm breath but helps pre-set your body when you're learning how to do it properly.

2. With your hands slightly above your waist position your finger tips so they're towards your belly button and your thumbs on your back. Also, not needed to take a diaphragm breath but it will be a good indicator if you're doing it correctly.

3. Once your hands are in place and your ribs are raised, then focus on taking a low, deep breath. This will feel more like a "filling up like a balloon" sensation, or a downward motion, instead of filling your lungs up with air. When you take this breath, make sure that your shoulders do not move up. In actuality, your stomach should move OUT when you INHALE and move IN when you EXHALE. This is very similar to how a baby's stomach moves while it is sleeping.

4. In addition to seeing your stomach move and feeling the motion on your finger tips, you should also feel a slight movement in the palms of your hands as your entire diaphragm is moving outward. If you were to study your body while you're taking a proper breath, the front, sides and back of your lower torso should be moving with each breath that you take.

5. Here are some exercises that you can practice to help learn how to breathe with your diaphragm:

a) Sit down on a chair with your legs together in front of you. Then bend over so that your chest is touching the top of your legs. Let your arms hang down towards your feet and take a low deep breath. Focus on feeling your stomach moving against your legs.

b) Lay down flat on your back with your hands placed on your stomach. Then relax and take a low, deep breath. You should see your stomach moving UP when you INHALE and DOWN when you EXHALE. You should also feel the movement in your hands, which is a great indicator if you're doing this correctly.

c) Lastly, try lying down with your body curled over a large yoga ball (or equivalent) with your arms hanging along side, kind of like you're hugging it. Then roll back and forth to position yourself so that your stomach is the center of your weight, not your chest. Then focus on taking a low, deep breath and feel your stomach move OUTWARD against the ball while you're inhaling.

As discussed above, having a correct diaphragm breath is very important in voiceovers, but so is knowing where to breathe in the script so that you sound natural. You should mark up your script before you record to make sure you're breathing in appropriate places and not running out of air. A lot of things can be edited out in digital recording; however, running out of air isn't one of them! When you're notating the breaths in your script, don't forget about natural phrasing and conversational pauses.

You can use whatever notations work the best for you to show breath. Often times voiceover talent will mark a breath by using a mid-air comma (like a musical breath notation), or a line like this | or this / You can also draw a long, continuous line in an arch shape over the words you want to notate NOT to breathe in between.

Taking a proper diaphragm breath, knowing where to breathe in the script and analyzing what you're talking about and who you're talking to before recording are all key elements in voiceovers. If you keep all three of those things in mind, you're sure to get a natural, conversational recording.

I have so substantially trouble locating a greeting card at any time I go to the preserve. I don't know what it is, but they in no way at any time appear to be to have ones that actually appeal to me or match the tastes of my pals and family members. They are all as effectively cute, as well raunchy, or just not truly proper for the situation. That is 1 of my favourite issues about digital greeting cards - you can commonly uncover something you want. There are so several sites that give free of charge of charge ecards on the On the net that you can't fail to come across something that appeals to you.

My favorite are free animated musical ecards. Getting musical greetings around the holidays is pretty great. I remember the first time I got one as a kid - it was a little digitized sound clip from peanuts. Although back then musical cards used a simple FM chip instead of the high-tech digital samples that they use today, it still was a neat novelty. It even flashed with little red LEDs while it played the melody.

Regardless of the simple fact that you can get some fairly innovative greeting cards these days, the free of cost animated musical ecards outdo them by significantly. Promptly following all, you can in essence customize them to integrate any greeting, any song, any pics you want. In truth, most internet sites only have a minimum quantity of different melodies, tunes, and pics. Quickly soon after all, there are copyright troubles to deal with. Even so, with all the choices out there, you're confident to be capable to uncover a cost-free animated musical ecard that fits your reasons.

Incredibly previous Xmas, alternatively of finding common greeting cards for all of my relatives, I obtained everyone free of charge of cost animated musical ecards. I sent my grandfather one with his favored people song - "Man of Constant Sorrow" - and a tiny animation of a man enjoying banjo on the porch. My sister acquired a disco themed musical animated cost-cost-free ecard, with a hilarious little man dancing on it.

Careers In The Music Industry Most People Haven't Heard Of

By Owen Jones


If you like music a great deal, you might be hoping of going into some area of the music industry yourself. Undoubtedly, you will have been told that this is notoriously hard and I am not trying to insinuate that it is not, but perhaps most people who are trying to get into the music industry are going for the same jobs.

The list of jobs available in the music industry must include teachers, songwriters, doctors, therapists and many others, not only singers and musicians, so it pays to think laterally if you want to head in this direction, because traffic on the main highway is usually at a stand-still. Anyway, here is a list of other jobs in the music industry and I hope that it is of some help to you.

There are jobs with music and record firms for staff song-writers, that is, for people who compose songs for the artists who are contracted to that label. Find a couple of artists that you respect working for the same label, compose some songs for them and apply.

If you cannot uncover a solitary label that suits you, you could do the same job as a freelance song-writer. This way you are not hamstrung and can compose for all the artists that you like.

If you are clever with words but not such a great musician, you could become a lyricist. A lyricist may or might not team up with a musician to create a song. Like Gilbert & Sullivan or Rogers & Hammerstein.

Jingle-writers are always in demand, at least decent ones are. Jingles need to be short but catchy. Writing jingles pays decent money, but it will perhaps not make you famous outside the music industry.

A music publisher searches the market for freelance songs and buys up the copyright or license to publish those songs or to sell or license them to singers and musicians.

A music editor might work with a composer or song-writer to make sure that the timing and the cues for the musicians and singers are feasible.

Notesetters have to have a good ear for music as their job is to write down in musical form what untrained musicians play for them. There are many, many modern musicians who cannot write a note of music but who can produce very good songs. These songs have to be written down by someone and that someone is a notesetter.

A talent scout in the music industry has the official title of Artist & Repertoire Co-ordinator or A&R Co-ordinator for short. A step up from this rank is the A&R Administrator, who co-ordinates the co-ordinators and sets and monitors their budgets - a type of a musical accountant.

Then there are the jobs in public relations. These people normally work for record labels. They promote the artists who have signed onto a record firm's label. There are quite a few degrees of responsibility in this section.

An agent or an relations representative, is aperson who manages his client and finds him or her work. They check the contracts and give business advice. They are well-|known as 'Mr. Ten Percent' although in practice it is usually double this unless you are famous.

Campus representatives promote records to students and promotional staffers promote wherever possible - radio channels, stores, musical directors.

Music teachers teach music to groups from pre-school through to college level. Their duties differ with the age of the student and the purpose of the class.

A music director has the job of supervising policy in school or college or setting the entertainment for a cruise or a holiday camp, hotel or holiday complex.

Then there are organists in churches all over the country, who frequently double in other musical careers.

Jamaican Music Is Popular Worldwide

By Erol Toki


Nowadays the popularity of Jamaican music is increasing considerably all over the world. The sounds of the island include mostly Reggae, but also Ska, Dancehall and Rocksteady. As tourism is vital for the island, Jamaica is romanticized trough various media by emphasizing its music.

It is interesting to know that the term "reggae" came from the Jamaican word "streggae", which describes a person who dresses a little on the raggedy side. The story tells that one day a couple of friends started dancing and imitating the streggae. Their newly invented dance and beat was named reggae. It became popular worldwide in the 1970's mostly through the work of the amazing musician Bob Marley.

Jamaica is a beautiful and serene island with rich history and mixed cultures. Back in 1655, England gained control of the island from Spain and brought many African slaves to Jamaica. Through the slave trade languages and religions were blended by the people. That is why the main rhythm of reggae, which is called the one-drop rhythm, is of African origin.

As part of the multi culture, some other traditional sounds are waltzes, folk music, ska and calypso. While ska is a blend of rhythm and blues, mixing soft vocals with horn instruments, calypso, or mento, is a mix of African and European music, where acoustical instruments like guitars and banjo are used to play the calypso blend. Calypso actually emerged in the mid 20th century and spread rapidly throughout the whole Caribbean.

There is little doubt that Reggae and other Jamaican music will long be popular in most areas of the world.

Jamaica music takes us to a different place than our usual daily lifestyle. The upbeat rhythms give us a lift and can bring us into a happier mood.

Surround Sound Speakers

By Owen Jones


The generations alive now, especially in the West, are all au fait with speaker technology to a certain degree. Most people started purchasing music centres in the Seventies if they were old enough and that trend has carried on and the technology has got better and better.

Audio reproduction has come on in leaps and bounds since the Fifties and Sixties when most individuals were content with a mono Dansette record player. My father was still listening to his favourite records on a wind-up record player with a dressmaker's pin for a needle and a trumpet for a loudspeaker in the early Sixties. Then he purchased a Dansette later in the Sixties.

I purchased a Sanyo music centre in the Seventies and he followed suit. The quality of audio reproduction on those systems was derisory in comparison with what is on the market nowadays.

The latest advance is surround sound, which was just available in the cinema twenty years ago, but surround sound speakers are much better now than they were then and you can fit them at home without requiring a bank loan.

Frequently surround sound speakers are associated with film scores, so a surround sound speaker system could be fitted to the outline jacks on your television or home theatre system.

Home theatres are very much in vogue now that lots of people are having to stay in more frequently to save money. A small family that likes to go to the pictures once a week can recoup the costs of a good home theatre system within a year.

While looking around for surround sound speakers, you may think that the cost is high, but do not forget that it is the surround sound speakers that transform a motion picture into a cinematographic experience. They also last forever if not abused.

Two bits of advice: buy the best that you can afford and get speakers that will stand on the floor or can be hung on the wall.

Buy quality rather than quantity. If you can only afford two speakers of fantastic quality, so be it, You can buy a new one later. With surround sound, the main rule is: the more speakers the better.

Three is the absolute minimum, seven is fine, but eight is much better. The more speakers that you have, the less volume you will have to drive through them so the longer they will last.

The above configurations will be written as: 2:1 (stereo plus a sub-woofer); 6:1 (front and back stereo speakers, a front central channel and a rear sub-woofer); 7:1 will add a rear central channel.

The good thing about this type of surround speaker system is that you can easily upgrade it, but you have to start properly by buying a recognized marque that will allow you to add speakers throughout the years.

One of the best speaker systems you can purchase is Bose, but they are expensive, but they are also the envy of any sound enthusiast as well. If you would like the best, but do not have the capital take your time building a system of Bose surround sound speakers.

Satellite Radio: How Much Does It Cost?

By Owen Jones


Satellite radio is highly popular these days and it is growing in popularity more and more every day. If you are not certain what satellite radio is, you can look at it like cable or satellite television. In essence, satellite radio is a subscription only service. It has a colossal assortment of radio stations that are not accessible on the ordinary AM or FM services.

If you are wondering about how much satellite radio costs, then the answer is the annoying one: it depends. It depends, because there are several variables, such as the apparatus itself, installation fees and monthly charges. Equipment from the countless manufacturers varies a lot as well.

For example, Bose is more expensive than a Chinese device from Walmart. Installation charges vary depending on where you live and who you use and the monthly fee will depend on which package or bundle you choose. So, unfortunately, the answer is: it depends.

There is also a one-off 'activation fee'. This costs about $15 if you do it by phone and about $5 if you it over the Internet. However, the push is on to get you signed up, so there are often promotions on doing away with this ridiculous rip-off fee. As if you will not be paying enough in monthly charges for the remainder of your life!

If you want to install satellite radio in your car, you have two alternatives, if your existing radio is not 'satellite ready'. You can either purchase a new car stereo that is 'satellite ready' or you can buy a satellite signal receiver and decoder unit and plug it into your present radio. This decoder can be hidden away under the driver's seat or stashed in the trunk of the car. You will also need a new aerial on the roof.

Costs differ outrageously, but let's average it out at $600 for a good, new, satellite-enabled, ready to go stereo fitted and working or $350 for a cheap system using your own radio, but also ready to receive satellite broadcasts. So, you could say, on average, for about $500 you can be listening to satellite broadcasts.

However, just as with laptop computer prices, demand creates downward pressure on prices and by the time you read this piece, the price could have halved. Let's hope so.

Portable satellite radio receivers can be a bit cheaper, mostly because there are no installation charges and come out at around $400.

Then there are the monthly subscription charges. As I said above, this depends on the package you select. The average charge is $10-$15 a month, but specialized channels can be extra. For instance, you could receive the Playboy channel for free at one time, but the normal charge is $2.95 per month.

Sport may cost more, especially for a finals match. Sometimes, you can get a discount for paying annually and Sirius even has a one-off, lifetime option at $500. Perhaps the best thing to do is keep an eye on the promotional offers and be ready to pounce quickly when a fitting one comes up.
