PureSolo is Karaoke 2.0, and great for learning instruments, too
PureSolo is a new application designed for people to sing, or play, along with backing tracks. It’s great for drunken Karaoke after lunch on Christmas day, but it’s also good for any aspiring musicians – classical or rock & pop – to play along as if they were in a real band.

As part of Winamp’s resurgence, they’re not just content with ripping off iTunes iPod compatability, oh no, they’re thinking even more outside of the box. Infact, they’re not even thinking about that box on your computer desk which houses all that software, bits, bytes and chips, they’re thinking about an entirely new box. Specifically, your Wii. Don’t get too scared now…
Why Coca-Cola competitions won't convince me to use iTunes for downloading music
Katherine Hannaford writes… Here’s a shocking fact for an early-twenty-something to come out with – I’ve never paid for downloading music. Whilst I do own an iPod (my second, begrudgingly) and even use iTunes to store my ample music collection, I’ve not once been tempted to pay for a song, no matter how inexpensive they are…
