Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

Microsoft Introducing Music Download StoreMicrosoft is now introducing their own online music store, entering the fray between Apple, RealNetworks, Musicmatch, eMusic, BuyMusic.com, Walmart, Napster, Sony, and a variety of independent recording labels' own stores, including Warp Records' Bleep. Walter Mossberg offers his take on Microsoft's new offering in today's Personal Technology column. The well-respected technology journalist notes as one of the service's strengths the ability to download directly from the website without having to use Windows Media Player, while at the same time pointing out that the download process itself "cumbersome and obtuse". Mr. Mossberg sums up his review by describing the service as not yet ready for prime time, but one that has potential for the future.
The downloads are currently priced at $.99 and up, so before you rush out to give more of your hard-earned dollar to Microsoft, make sure to check Real's store first, where songs are on sale for $.49. Real's offer is for a limited time, so get 'em while they're cheap(er)!
