Making A (Virtual) Independent Bollywood MP3 Download Website

 

My niece knows Indian takes and Indian film medicine. To her, as to almost of the earth, this rank, colorful, loving and just-plain-fun genre is resumed up in one word: Bollywood.





Finally! Big Boi's eternally forthcoming album Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty actually has a due date: May 4, courtesy Def Jam. Meanwhile, here's "Shutterbugg," its first single. Great stuff.









It's a synthy, upbeat track off their upcoming album, The Five Ghosts (out in June), and it'd be a good one to play if you suddenly found yourself flying through the clouds, just cruising around. Very enjoyable.



I confess that I've get taken with Bollywood equally well, though non to the very extent every bit my niece, who holds a amount of Indian films and regularly rents others. The Bollywood well is so shot that I get to throttle myself to seeing those few of its products that babble up to catch the attending of American movie readers. Otherwise I imparted be lost in Indian ocean of unfamiliar with movie titles, actors and actresses.

 

My niece likewise compiles CDs of Bollywood medicine. There's an Asian commercialise hot her family that passes a cornucopia of them. Only she has the said problem picking out CDs to buy that I do resolving which Bollywood movie Crataegus oxycantha be worth my time. Unless she's seen the film from which a soundtrack derives, she's usually in the dark equally to whether a minute CD's songs and artists are ones she will enjoy.

 

At her quest, I set up a means for her to preview a kind of Bollywood songs and even to live with them on her iPod for a while, all for Free. This means she can take educated decisions about which CDs she ultimately purchases.

 

First, I searched for Indian music Web sites, and specifically for those devoted to Bollywood, or at least modern popular medicine (every bit opposed, say, to classical Indian ragas). I found several good ones, with names such equally Bollywood earth and India FM.

 

about of the Web sites I found offered song samples, meaning 30-second or 1-minute snippets. Some made full audio streams that allowed the visitor to listen to continuous Bollywood medicine for equally long as she or he might want. It was these latter that provided the first half of our solution.

 

Normally, streaming audio, such every bit what you hear over an Internet radio post, cannot be saved or downloaded. New computer software, though, makes it possible to phonograph record the stream to your hard drive for replaying equally often as you like.

 

Even better, some of the newest audio capture software package incorporates something called an mp3 splitter. This computer software is able to break the audio stream into separate mp3 song files. By the means, this is dead legal, because you're simply putting down a broadcast, the very as when you phonograph recording a TV show on your VHS. Voila -- we made the second half of our solution.

 

Between the audio streams and splitter/taping software program, we made our own virtual Bollywood mp3 download sites.

 

Now whenever my niece is in a mood to search the latest tuneful offerings from Bollywood, she flicks on her favorite Indian-medicine Internet radio place, then starts the taping computer software. Pretty soon she has enough Bollywood mp3s to shuffle up for the rest of the calendar week, and she's almost secured to find two or three that will spur her to give a trigger to the CD bin complete at the Asian memory.
