#37 Music

Streaming music is blocked in the work place and on the public PCs download limits etc make it difficult to get around this one . It is a natural progression joining radio and Internet and making them interactive . Users can select own music and listen while working with the inevitable invitation to buy. Groups grow up around the liking for a similar style of music similar to those that grow up around the books in " library thing" this to me is a more comfortable use of the idea of Internet community not just chattering aimlessly. Tried creating a quilt of covers but it leads away from the page promoting the album and with intrusive advertising.
How could this be incorporated into the library? Perhaps at the beginning of a special Internet training program with a theme, Chinese music? not for a while yet I suspect. For my radio widget I chose Fela Kuti a famous african protest singer his son now sings in a similar style but I like the old master and his highlife jazz
