Blog Your Music



Hey.    How's it going?
Are you into the digital download thing? Do you like sharing your music?

How would you like to learn about a creative way to share music you like?
We call it Blog Your Music.

Don't worry - this is legal. In fact, artists want you to share their music!

Welcome to Austin Online Music! Purchase a song from AustinOnlineMusic.com and you can share it through Blogs, message boards, MySpace, Friendster, email or anywhere you can put a web link.

Cool, huh?
Well, check this out.

There are a number of fun & creative ways to share music downloads:
  1. Link and Embed
  2. Email
  3. Floppy disk or CD
  4. Hosting
  5. Peer-to-Peer networks

Link and Embed


Under each song you'll see a button for "Link". Click that to open a window that will display a box of HTML code. Click in the box and copy the code. You can paste that code into Instant Messenger, blogs and message boards. This will create a link to the song and artist wherever you post it.

What's really cool is to embed the HTML on your MySpace page or own website. This code will display a button so people know to click play. Use this feature to make your website sticky so people keep coming back. This is just like youtube videos but for music! Here's an example:

left-click to play, right-click to download Dear Prudence Dear Prudence by OHN


Email


You can also paste in the HTML from the Link box into an email. If you prefer you can use our email feature. Simply click "email" for a song and type in the email address(es) you'd like to send it to. Send your favorite song to all your friends with 2 easy clicks! Send an email to yourself so you can always get back to the song.

Floppy disk or CD


Whether you purchase the song or not you can download it as if it were a document or digital picture. That means you can physically hand this song to your friends. Download 50 Secure Songs and burn them all on to a data CD. Your friends will have hours of free music to listen to. You can also put these files on a USB disk or other floppy drive and give to friends.

Hosting


Do you have your own website? Download a SecureSong to your computer and then upload it to your file server. Create a link to it from your website and BAM!... you've got your own music store! Set your website apart and impress your friends. If you don't want to host the file then just use our "Link" feature.

P2P Networks


Artists put in a lot of work to create each song they publish. Show your respect and appreciation by legally sharing your music. Peer-to-peer networks are great if it helps the artist. Sharing Secure Songs gives everyone 3 free plays and helps the artist earn something for all the work they put into the song.

Go to our music search page and listen to every song 3 times for free. Download and purchase the ones you like. Most songs cost $0.99 and we give you a free online account that only requires a valid email address.

When you buy and share Secure Songs you will be supporting independent artists, cutting down on illegal file-sharing and turning your friends on to cool music all at the same time! Enjoy!
