Music is everywhere. In our hearts, in our souls, in the air. Today, though, we’re just going to be talking about the music that’s online.

Searching for those MP3s

Sometimes it’s difficult to find the specific song or sound you’re looking for. That’s why I’m happy to be the bearer of good news today: There’s a brand new MP3 search engine - and it rocks.

eSpew may not have the coolest name in the world, but it sure does the job. At www.espew.com you can search through more than a million and a half MP3s, submit music, view a top 40 download chart or browse through featured artists. Find the music you’re looking for quickly and easily.

Though I think espew.com is great, alternatives include www.audiofind.com and www.mp3search.com.

iPods get around

The cute, tiny, convenient little Apple product otherwise known as the iPod is undoubtedly one of the hottest and most useful tech items available.

If you own an iPod, it’s quite likely that it goes wherever you go. And now you can show the world.

Head over to the iPodlounge (http://gallery.ipodlounge.com) and see where people’s iPods have been lately.

You’ll see snaps of people with iPods riding roller coasters, on jungle expeditions in Peru and standing atop the highest mountains.

People have sent in pictures of themselves and their iPods while kissing, giving birth and sunbathing. It just goes to show that MP3s and MP3 players are indeed taking the world by storm.

MP3rat

Kaylon Technologies has developed a “fast, intuitive, and easy-to-use music organizer and player” called the MP3rat.

Kaylon Technologies essentially built a piece of software that directly addressed the typical troubles people run into when managing MP3s, including having difficulties locating songs, wanting to quickly organize and search through music collections and experiencing problems managing playlists.

You can try MP3rat free for 30 days and decide if it’s the right tool for you. If you like it, you can purchase the full version for $24.95, making you eligible for free technical support as well as free upgrades for minor version changes.

That’s it for today, everyone. Time to grab a bag of chocolate chips, put on some headphones, listen to your favorite tunes and sit back in the sun.
