Well - I signed up to last.fm - still not too sure what it stands for. If anything this would be where I am most 'at sea' with the Internet. You will know this by the fact that I went and looked for 'The Anniversary Waltz' by Vera Lynn (NOT Status Quo) on the Internet first. And found last.fm. Hmm. I am confused by their term 'scrobbling' - and when I went back to look for the FAQ I couldn't find them in a rush... but I would get there eventually. Another WHOLE language!
It wasn't too bad - I just don't want to get to the point when I have to pay anything. I was directed to a site where you could listen to the whole track - it looked a bit like YouTube... link below...

Also Glenn Miller - previewing him took me to YouTube

Hmmm ... if I was to have to help a customer with this I would have to find someone else to do the helping... Not often that happens - but the brain can only hold so much, and obviously music sites and MP3 stuff missed out!
Also - at the top of the page a box said DOWNLOAD this song free. REALLY!.... hmm I had to download an .exe file for that... Imesh I think. All a little too much for an afternoon! Sorry!

Free, legal and current mp3s are a minefield - and with good reason. Who really wants to create accounts all over the place and, even worse, who wants to pay for them or hand out their personal details? Congratulations for persisting! And 'scrobbling' - what an awful web 2.0 term - is when you listen to a song and and the name of it is sent to a website (such as Last FM) and added to your music profile. Once you begin 'scrobbling' you're sharing your music tastes with the world, allowing ppl with similar tates to find you.
