Better Music Posts

My mom emailed me tonight:

Tommy James & the Shondells - I Think We’re Alone Now


I love it.

Knowing my mom probably didn’t have a digital copy of that song, I emailed her the mp3 file in reply. This got me thinking:

“Wouldn’t tumblelogs be so much cooler if you could download songs from audio posts?”

Tumblr can’t provide this feature for obvious reasons - they’d get shut down by the RIAA like Muxtape did. The RIAA won’t care about little ol’ Youth and Young Manhood and my one song post a week, however, so I created a system that allows me to include song downloads in my music posts.

Refer back to my Tommy James & the Shondells post from earlier today to see it in action.

All my previous audio posts now have a download link. To download a file, right-click (ctrl-click on a Mac) and choose “Save Link As…”

Enjoy!
