I Want These MP3s. Can You Send Them To Me?

I used to shop the online music providers for obscure single songs I miss from the past. Of course, they carry very little out of the mainstream and they have made it a crime for us to share music with one another. Still, I would like to have MP3 versions of these songs. Some I can't find online, others I would never pay money for because I have purchased them so many times already (I can't count how many times I have purchased "96 Tears" since 1967!).

Do you have these? Will you share? Will you send them to me? I have bought each of these songs in some format over the past forty years, and I would be willing to buy digital versions of them, if they were available in a usuable format (not MP4/AAC)!

Peruse the list and giggle at the memories!

I am also always interested in hearing new songs from new artists who have not yet signed to corporate labels. Are you an artist with your own MP3s to share? Can I have a copy?

My primary gripe with the current encoding is that I cannot convert a song from MP4/AAC to anything else.

This weekend I was preparing a Power Point slideshow of my daughter's first six months and when I have done this in the past I include a song from my library as background music. I then send it to our relatives out-of-state.

I purchased a copy of "You Are My Sunshine," by Jimmie Davis, from iTunes a few months back. I cannot use it in my slide show because the new MP4/AAC encoding will not allow me to convert it to WAV. I paid for this song! I own this copy of this song and I should be able to use it as the background music for a personal slide show I will share with my family!

The RIAA's crappy encoding in unfair! Our government is providing communist-style protection for the corporations and creating an unfair marketplace.

I implore you to purchase no music from online music providers nor major labels. Buy independent. Trade songs with your friends. If the US Government can provide socialism for the wealthy, we can practice it ourselves.

SEND ME YOUR MP3s!

Send me your want list, too! Maybe I have a song you would like to have from my collection.
