iTunes is what are some are calling the future of digital music, iTunes you can do a variety of things apart from it just being a music player to being the work centre of your iPads,iPods and iTouchs. iTunes has broken allot of boundaries when it comes to spreading music that you love on iTunes you can find a variety of music genre's such as Rock, Hip Hop, Classical and so forth. Advantages of this programme it features applications such as iCloud where you can save your music wireless using Wi-fi. now available on iTunes on the South African side it has made South African music available internationally  artists such as Lady Smith Black Mambazo,AKA, L-Tido,Brenda Fassie and others are available on iTunes which is a great advantage for South African artists to get exposure.

Some disadvantages with iTunes it is not really user friendly its needs time geting used to but once known it is a very it's very handy, iTunes is for Apple products such as iPods, iPads and iTouches, iTunes for Windows can only sync with iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV. However, the music you import with iTunes, or iTunes Plus purchases, will play on many third-party music players.Apple products are seen as expensive and not for the normal consumers and target markets and since that is associated  there is a tendency of thinking iTunes music is also expensive which relatively decent price. All in all iTunes is a very handy program allows you to get what you want when you want and its recommended by many.

Winter Music Conference 2012 Part 2


http://deepgoa.blogspot.com/
Sorry for the inconvenience to my bloggers,viewers and followers for the late post i know i said the 11th April 2012 my apologies.

Every year WMC has improvements this year it introduced the WMC experience by delivering ten non-stop days of music programing. Winter Music Conference is where i would like to see myself at in years to come people from over 206 countries attend and event is outspoken of our very own homebrewed Deejays Black Coffee and the House music  duo F.eu Deejay Fresh and Euphonik attended this conference and everything they said was positive about the conference from the life style, the people, exhibitions and most importantly the music. After coming back from the conference DJ Euphonik said and i quote "whether you a good DJ or bad DJ Winter Music Conference is the place to to be". The deejay says at the conference learn and gain so much more knowledge and experience that you never forget and add valuable insight to whatever music career  you are pursuing or are a producer,DJ or artist. The conference catches my attention for even as an aspiring Public Relations Practitioner i believe this conference can help you gain valuable contacts,media skills, chance to rub shoulders with celebrities and favourite international deejays and producers and its in my plans to attend upcoming years  to get more insight on the Public Relations and Marketing side of music.
