酷我音乐盒 Ku Wo Music Box, Free Chinese Music Streaming and Downloads


Chinese really makes good pirated stuff, pirated phone, pirated DVD, fake Blu-Rays. They love making copyright infringement stuff but somehow, everyone like it. At first, it was PPS online streaming player, which streams whatever movie and TV series.

Now I found another one called 酷我音乐盒 Ku Wo Music Box. It streams Chinese music and music of other languages too. You can either stream it or download it into your computer and listen it later. Rocks man.

You can find almost any music there. I use it to stream Chinese music mostly.

And it has live lyric synced with the music so you can singalong.

Another feature is streaming music video of a song, but then not all song has music video streaming, some only. It still very cool though. I like this program.

So sorry for English-educated or people who doesn’t read Chinese, same like PPS, the whole software is in Chinese. More Chinese software to be introduced soon. If looking from the legal side, this software is against the copyright law, but no one cares, yet. Use it wisely, for personal use and not for commercial. =)

Sync Nokia N95 or other MP3 device with iTunes


I am iTunes user since many many years back when iPod and iTunes were release. At that time, I don’t have an iPod, it’s brother who have it but he asked me to use iTunes, so from then on, I like the simplicity and the Mac-designed program. I found it easy to manage my music until I got an iPod and I can’t leave it now.

If you own a MP3 device which transfer music via drag and drop from folder to folder or a mobile phone which uses the similar method, you can try out iTunes Agent which allow you to manage your music with iTunes.

You just need to drag and drop the music to the dedicated playlist in iTunes created by iTunes Agent then you press sync on iTunes Agent, the music will then be transfer to your device. In my own opinion, I prefer this method than using Nokia Music or the traditional drag and drop.

I can manage my music later when I am not connecting my device, it will then sync according to what’s in the playlist when I connect my device. Simple and easy.

One of the thing that Apple announced in their Rock and Roll event last week in San Fransisco is the release update of iTunes 9. Well, it’s not very interesting to hear about software update at such event, I would like to see more on gadgets. =)

Since the Internet was so good lately, so downloading the new update just took a while for me. You can actually spot some different if you are on Windows. On my side, it’s faster than before on my machine, I’m not sure whether do you notice it or not, some told me that it’s still the same but it’s really faster on my side.

Home Sharing is a new thing which allow you to share your iTunes Music Store downloads with few computer of the same iTunes account. I don’t really use this because I don’t buy music or anything from iTunes Music Store.

iTunes Music Store redesigned, better looking now. I login just to look for podcast and application, I am still on the no-side for buying music online.

One thing I like is the Applications management for the iPod touch and iPhone. You can now pick which app to sync and which page to place your app. Good one.

There’s still some other update like Genius Mixes and I-don’t-know-what-else because I don’t really bother a lot about it, I only use it for music andsyncing my iPod. But iTunes is the best music software in the world, true.

Download iTunes 9.
