W♥M Podcast #20: Home Taping is Killing Music
![]() |
WOW, another epic podcast, with co-hosts Derek & Soup. Although this episode is more topics-centric (RIAA, MP3s, and state of music), I think the next podcast will be half-topic and half casual.

Some topics we touched on:
RIAA vs Muxtape, CDs are too expensive, music blogs, internet radio royalties going up twice as much as traditional radio, taping off the radio, whatever happened to recording hunting?, Taping Kills Music, concerts, what we're listening to...

The music all serve as transitional or illustrations between our talks and I thought you guys might want to know the name and bands of each songs (in case you love what you heard).

About buying 1 dollar CDs and stuff.
Firstly note you're lucky to have all this culture of music shops around you. In my country it's only starting.
But the main thing is that clicking instead of digging in the shop but after all it's the same thing.
95% will go only to the titles on the main pages of iTunes, Pandora or Last.fm. 5% will dig down to the deeps of the Internet and will discover something new. That's what so good about the Internet - it's so big and deep, that works just the same as the real world. For instance, do you know what I, a law student, was doing while listening to this podcast? Mending my water tap! And I read how to do it on the Internet! But does it mean that now all the plumbers will lose their jobs? Don't think so.
For instance, I bought 3 or 4 VOLUMES (books/CDs) that are long out of print for $4.95 each. This is such a good price, as originally they sold these for $20 each.
