Music Organization Tips: What Are Those Songs
You have them don’t you? Sitting there on your computer. Music files that you have zero clue as to what
they actually are. You listen to the song and you know you know it, but you can not for the life of you
remember the title, artist, or album its from. These files are the scourge of your digital music collection. These files sit in a place forever ignored for one reason or another. No matter how often you sit down to
organize and try to figure out their titles, you only leave your computer discouraged and probably a little upset. Well, today we put an end to that. In the first article my Music Organization Tips series, we are going to work on trying to figure out what those songs on so that we can have all of our tracks identified.

Artist versus Album Artist
I seem to get a lot of hits from searches about the difference between the “Artist” and “Album Artist” tags in the Mp3 ID3 tagging specification that leads people to the second part of my “Building Your Digital Music Library” series.

Christian Rock Radio Stations
Why is it that
Christian rock has a
hard time finding a
home on radio? In my
years of listening to
and enjoying Christian
rock music, I have
found that Christian
rock radio stations
are few and far
between. They are
incredibly hard to find
and when you do find
them they are usually
limited to their song
selection thus
rendering them
useless for finding
new music to listen to.
The contemporary
Christian music
station here in
Houston, Texas
attempted to start a
Christian Rock station
a little less than a
decade ago. They
were starting it out
