ProjectPlaylist Beware: Music Gone Haywire

For some bizarre reason which is not showing up on helps, forums or blogs, I'm experiencing problems with all of the playlists I have posted for your enjoyment recently. I clicked on a couple of the standalone player links in my posts and they either pop up with bad code, or worse yet, pop up with other people's playlists. In a couple instances I had a bunch of Eminem crap pop up. Sweet.

So, please be warned in the event this also happens to you. I have spent significant effort creating these playlists, and have tried to keep them tight and clean, and would hope you might still be able to enjoy this special BarryBlog feature. But since I'm all about accoutability and gurading your heart and all, I thought you might want to know.

So for now use your judgement on whether to go there or not. I will be on top of the answer, so no need to email me if you find errors.

Thanks, and hope you've enjoyed them in the past. When they are working, the posts that include them are Late March here, Zero 7 here, Feb. 08 here, and bt here.

Zero7: Music to design to...UPDATED

I've been enjoying the sound of Zero 7 of late. I love the voice of Sia Kate Isobelle Furler. You may have heard her voice if you're a fan of HBO's Six Feet Under (I am not). the Argentinian Swede Jose Gonzalez can also blast. Now you can enjoy Zero 7 too using this stand alone player I've created....for me (and yes, you). Then go to iTunes and buy their stuff.

Good music to have on in the background. Let me know if you come across any objectionable content in their lyrics. Though I am listening for the overall experience and don't often catch that nonsense, I wouldn't want to make a brotha' stumble, ifyaknowhatImsayin'. Enjoy.

UPDATE: I have fixed the code on this particular post. I was currently playing different songs than just Zero 7. This one should work. E N J O Y .

BarryBlog Special: February Music To Design To

Welcome to the BarryBlog February stand alone music player. Songs you can design to, then buy if you like. Email song requests or leave them in comments and I'll see what I can do for next month, that is unless I don't like your suggestions. Again, ckicky the linky for the stand alone player, less you have pop up blocker on, in which case I recommend you just whistle your favorite song and pretend you're enjoying the BarryBlog February music selection.

iTunes Killer App: Simplify Media

Finally—a solution that allows me to dump all the music from my external drive at work. With Simplify Media I now listen to all my iTune music that I have stored on my computer at home from my computer at work. And vise-versa. In fact one of my colleagues has invited me to listen to all his music on his home computer. So now I've enabled my account so he now listens to my mp3s. And the best part is it's legal, free, and no support is required. Killer app.

Here's how it works: Simplify Media software lets you browse and play remote music using the iTunes software interface. Music is streamed directly between computers over the Internet within small groups that you control. Your group can be made up entirely of your own computers, for example home and office. You can also invite friends to join. Once an invitation is accepted, you will be able to sort, search and play each other’s libraries when online, all within iTunes.
