Yahoo has announced that it will issue a refund to its customers for the full value of their purchases. According to a report on CNet, Yahoo is also looking at making copies of the music its customers bought available to them as MP3s without any DRM.

Stop the Auto-Play Madness

I don't care if you are a band, and want to promote your new song.  If I am shopping for music, then odds are very good that I like music, and that I am already listening to something.  Your shit doesn't sound good mixed up with whatever I'm listening to.

Don't set up a player widget to start automatically.  Bonus asshat points if you hide the stop button.  That just makes me leave your site much sooner.

Do put a player widget on the page and make it easy to see.  I promise I'll click play when I'm ready.

Sweet Child o' Mine

Half of me thinks this is the most stupid thing I've seen on the internets, but some tiny portion of the other half thinks this guy has some talent.  Whichever it is, I'll be sure to buy him a beer if we ever meet. You can skip ahead to the one minute mark and not miss much.

I guess a person with this sort of talent is called a manualist and it's a lot more popular than I suspected. Be sure to check out gunecologist's channel on youtube.

Got a band but can’t afford to shoot a video?

ArsGeek » Blog Archive » Got a band but can’t afford to shoot a video? Use public CCTV cameras and then demand the footage!

The Get Out Clause are an upcoming UK band who are currently unsigned. They took a brilliant and I’m sure soon to be much copied method to producing their own video. Unable to hire a production crew for a standard 1980’s era MTV music video, they performed their music in front of 80 of the 13 million CCTV “security” cameras available in England, including one on a bus.

I'm not sure this would work in the US as the video footage might not be available, but it is an interesting idea.
