Remove vocals from songs

"Only in Dreams" by Weezer is a terrific song, until about 52 seconds into it when the vocals come in. Unfortunately acoustic versions only seem to exist as low quality YouTube videos. However, the good news is that there's some free software called Wavosaur that will take an mp3 and do the required filtering. It's not perfect - some bass is lost and muted voices can still be heard, but at least karaoke fans can now rejoice!

Top tip for UK iTunes users

There's an offer available from the iTunes site until 28 September - send a text message (which for most people is at their standard rate, ie. costing roughly 10p) and you receive a voucher code for a free track from online music store iTunes, which normally cost 79p or 99p.

How? Text one of the following words - ROCK, POP, LIVE, or ITUNES to 85100, and you'll get a message back with a code. Log into the iTunes store, go to buy a music track and you'll have the option to enter a discount code. Pop the code you were sent in there, and the track will be free. You have until September 30 to use the voucher.

You'll need iTunes music player installed on your computer in order to purchase from iTunes store, so if you haven't got it, download it!

Anything else? Apparently you can do this multiple times, and receive multiple codes. While this may be possible, its important you're aware it's against the terms and conditions of the offer - you can read them in full at http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/sms/

How to animate music

Blogmusik

A little while ago I mentioned how great Pandora was for listening to music. Well, it is great, but it's got some competition from Blogmusik, where you can have the track you want streamed to you on request. Sweeeeeet!

Pandora

Listen to streamed music that is customised to suit you! Pandora asks what songs you like then introduces similar music by different artists. Then by rating new songs, you can train their algorithm to make better introductions. It's like the best radio station ever.
