Tips & Tutorials



From Mark Harris, your Guide to Digital Music

In this week's edition of the Digital Music newsletter:

  • Free Text to Speech Software.
  • How to Fool iTunes into Bookmarking Songs Like Audiobooks.
  • Best Legal BitTorrent Sites for Downloading Music.
  • Saving Hard Drive Space: Convert to a Lossless Format.


Free Text to Speech Software: Make Your Own MP3 Audiobooks

ebooks are a great invention that has made it possible to carry around hundreds of books and other types of publications in electronic form. The problem is, you don't always have the luxury (or time) to read them in every situation. Driving a car is a prime example of this. You can of course purchase and download audiobooks from the Internet, but they may not be exactly what you've got in text form. In this case, using a text to speech conversion program is the ideal tool. To find out more on free programs you can use, why not read our Free Text to Speech Software guide that lists some of the best. Read more


How to Fool iTunes into Bookmarking Songs Like Audiobooks

The great advantage of listening to audiobooks in iTunes (and on your iPod, iPhone, and iPad), is that the playback position is remembered if you stop listening before reaching the end of the recording. Unfortunately, this bookmarking feature isn't available for songs by default. But, why on earth would you want iTunes to treat a song like it was an audiobook? Most songs only last a few minutes, but what if you have very long songs like remixes, mash-ups, or audio recordings? To see how easy it is to fool iTunes and make any song bookmarkable, read this guide on How to Make iTunes Songs Act Like Audiobooks. Read more


Best Legal BitTorrent Sites for Downloading Music

There are many P2P Web sites on the Internet that are extremely popular, but the vast majority of them provide links to copyrighted software and media files. If you want to know some of the best places to get free and legal music, then be sure to read this article. Read more

Saving Hard Drive Space: Convert to a Lossless Format

Have you got uncompressed WAV files on your hard drive taking up a lot of space? If so, then why not convert them to a lossless format like FLAC. This short article lists some of the best free software programs for converting between audio formats. Read more
