Create your Web CD
THOUGH
there are numerous avenues of entertainment in the present digital
world yet the most upcoming avenue for entertainment is Internet. We
have discussed many avenues of entertainment on the Internet in this
column, out of which music is one of the most prominent one.
Especially after the Napster episode, music on the Internet has become
a craze. Though on the Internet there are a lot of western music
available yet there are good resources for Indian music too. There are
many sites, which have songs not only in Hindi, but in other regional
languages also and specially the most popular Punjabi songs. One such
site is www.crosswinds.net/~indianmp3songs. On this site you can find
MP3 songs in Hindi, Punjabi, and Indian pop, remixes, ghazals and old
classic songs. If you do not find your favorite song on this site then
you can request your song on this site. It also has a section for
India-specific news from the newspapers all over the world. Overall it’s
a good site for music lovers.
There is another good
site http://bollywoodsmashits.hypermart.net for Indian music, which
has a huge variety of music, which includes audio as well as videos.
The audio collection is both in MP3 and Real audio format whereas the
video selection is in real video format. This is a well-laid out site
and has sections such as Browse my movies, Hindi songs trailers, Hindi
MP3, Oldies, Latest MP3, Hindi Juke Box1, Hindi Juke Box2, Real Video
Songs, Bollywood smash hits, Current Top hits, Current Hits, Top 10
etc. On this site you can also find a section on the entertainment
news, where you can read all gossip related to the Bollywood and also
the music world. The music on this site is also divided into some
popular categories like remixes, latest songs, bhangra, ghazal, oldies
etc. There is also a section for music live performance. If you want
more on Bollywood and the music world, then you can log on to the
chat-rooms. However for this site you will need the music players like
Winamp, Real Player etc. This site is not just all about Hindi songs,
but it also has a section on English and Latino music. You can play
these songs online or can create your own Web CD. These songs are also
rated on the basis of their popularity. You can also send these songs
by e-mail to yourself or your friends. Overall it’s a good site on
music and entertainment.
Though there are many
other good sites on music, however, these were some of the good music
sites, where you can find a wide variety of music, which caters to the
choice of all kind of music lovers.
