Making Music With Linux and CD’s

Gnome Music

I have been making music in a way by taking some of our CD’s and ripping them to my digital collection on my laptop. I have been using the Linux program Rhythmbox to import the music and then visually organizing the albums on Gnome Music where I will play them from.

Furthermore, I am saving them in the open source Ogg Vorbis format and tagging them so they can have the album art can be found online and embedded to each title. They won’t be going online for sharing just so that people with power will know it will be for personal use only. This is a retro way of doing things I would imagine, but it is fun.

K-Pop Surprise

It’s interesting to hear a K-pop song you have on a CD playing as background music in a fast food restaurant you are having lunch in. Life is fun that way.

Something About Bad Bunny

I don’t know everything about Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, known professionally as Bad Bunny. However, I am willing to learn and listen to something different and new. What I do know is that he’s a great person who comes from Puerto Rico, which is part of the United States. He will be singing in Spanish, which is a beautiful language spoken by millions as their mother tongue in this country. The Super Bowl is going to be a great game, and its halftime show is one part of it. Enjoy the show.

Happy Friday and New Taylor Swift Album Day

Hello there friends, It’s Friday. It’s also new Taylor Swift music day. Anytime you can combine two good things together, it’s a total win. From what I understand, this is another solid collection of recordings. Enjoy Friday, enjoy Taylor if you wish. Make it a great day, everyone, and that includes the Swifties out there.

Earth, Wind and Fire – September

Enjoy this classic hit from Earth, Wind & Fire because it’s the 21st day of September. This song is oh so timeless.

Quote Of The Day

Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I’m on the hunt, I’m after you
Mouth is alive, with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf.

“Hungry Like The Wolf” Duran Duran
