NEW SONGS ARE COMING YOUR WAY

Wakefield will be putting out a NEW RECORD sometime in the near future. We will NOT be releasing the NEW RECORD on a major label for that means no boundaries. Please stay posted for more details.
Thanx

Ok, so here is another little article I discovered that might help some of you in getting Wakefield (and others) tunes onto your ipod. Good luck and happy trails. - JD How to beat Apple iPod-incompatible Sony BMG and EMI copy-protected CDs Tuesday, October 04, 2005 - 11:59 AM EST "Major labels Sony BMG and EMI are releasing more and more new CDs that block fans from dragging their tunes to iPods," Billboard reports. "Now, in the most bizarre turn yet in the record industry's piracy struggles, stars Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters and Switchfoot -- and even Sony BMG, when the label gets complaints -- are telling fans how they can beat the system... For now, the copy-protected discs work only with software and devices compatible with Microsoft Windows Media technology." "The DRM initiatives are generating complaints from fans, many of whom own iPods. The message boards of artist fan sites and online retailers are filled with complaints from angry consumers who did not realize they were buying a copy-protected title until they tried to create music files on their home computers," Billboard reports. "One solution artists offer to iPod users is to rip the CD into a Windows Media file, burn the tracks onto a blank CD (without copy protection) and then rip that CD back into iTunes... Columbia Records act Switchfoot, whose latest album, 'Nothing Is Sound,' is copy-protected -- and debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 last week -- recently took copy-protection defiance one step further. Band guitarist Tim Foreman posted on a Sony Music-hosted fan site a link to the software program CDEX, which disables the technology. The post has since been removed." "Sony BMG says it is not trying to prevent consumers from getting music onto iPods. Fans who complain to Sony BMG about iPod incompatibility are directed to a Web site (http://cp.sonybmg.com/xcp) that provides information on how to work around the technology," Billboard reports. "The company, which has sold more than 13 million copy-protected discs to date, is urging people who buy copy-protected titles to write to Apple and demand that the company license its FairPlay DRM for use with secure CDs... Artist managers are upset that the security is so easily beaten -- in the case of Sony BMG, with the company's assistance -- that it makes a mockery of content protection."

So I picked up the November 2005 issue of NEWSWEEK and I found an interesting article that I thought I would share with you guys. Its quite a little read, but I strongly recommend it. I goes as follows: Nov. 28, 2005 issue - Benjamin Franklin once remarked that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. In that case, someone should immediately dispatch a cadre of psychiatrists to the headquarters of Sony. Its efforts to protect the music it sells have resulted—again—in unmitigated disaster. After infuriating its customers, alienating its artists and running afoul of the Homeland Security Department, Sony last week announced a recall of 52 CD titles—everyone from Dion to Celine Dion—protected with a flawed scheme that left customers' computers vulnerable to viruses and vandals. Sony has been here before. The company invented personal entertainment with the Walkman, but has failed to gain traction against Apple's iPod in part because the initial versions of the Digital Walkman were hobbled by limitations based on fear of piracy. When Sony launched an online music store to compete with Apple's, a similar defensiveness and tough "digital rights management" (DRM) software contributed to a poor start. Since Sony's new CEO Howard Stringer is a smart guy, one might have assumed that he cautioned the company's music division, which recently merged with Bertelsmann's BMG label, that future efforts should not turn off customers by erring on the side of protection. To the contrary, Sony BMG now is apparently focusing its anti-piracy efforts on the paying customer. The industry has gained some traction against Internet file-sharing services, so the label decided to take on the commonplace practice of friends' making copies of songs for each other. The idea was to lock down music on CDs, just as legally downloaded songs have limitations on how many copies you can make via computers, among other restrictions. (Those who simply played the discs on CD players would see no change.) On one hand this sounds reasonable, but in practice that's not the case. Music fans consider CDs overpriced to begin with. Sony BMG decided to maintain the high prices while devaluing the product. Only if you deconstructed the complicated license agreement that appears on your PC when you loaded the disc could you understand that Sony was complicating the nature of its customer transactions. It specified that you didn't really own the Neil Diamond songs for which you paid $19. You were just buying certain rights to play them, under esoteric terms that Sony BMG specified. (One example: if you declare bankruptcy, you have to delete the songs from your computer.) You could make only three copies. And—get this—you could not play your songs on iPods. (A tedious workaround does exist to fix this.) But the killer for Sony was its horrifically flawed DRM implementation. In its zeal to protect its property, Sony didn't sufficiently evaluate or test its software. In order to rip the songs to your computer, you had to install a program that secretly inserted a "rootkit" into your system. This is a form of spyware potentially exploitable by digital wrongdoers; the Homeland Security Department specifically instructs consumers not to install such software from audio CDs. Now Sony has been forced to recall the discs. (Its public statement says that "we are committed to making this situation right" and adds that "the experience of consumers is our primary concern.") It's taken a drubbing in the press. And its artists are suffering sales hits and bad vibes from fans. The music industry's future lies in encouraging people to get more music legally, by providing more convenience and features. Punishing paying customers by giving them broken product is... insanity. © 2005 Newsweek, Inc.

                  Only One

Its a beautiful night, with the radio on. I got my shoe laces tied up tighter than the sun. I turn the radio up. you're the only one

You see, my baby's on her way. A way that's turning me on. She's never gonna stop until she hits the right spot; I turn the radio up.

She's got me dripping from my fingers. She's got me soaked to the bone.

You know you're the only one, you're the only one for me... and if you asked, I'd get down on my knees. You know you're the only one, you're the only one for me.

I got my sunglasses on and 'four on the floor.' I'm gonna push it really hard, until she can't take no more. You see my baby's on her...she's got a way that's turning me on.

She's got me dripping from my fingers. She's got me soaked to the bone.

You know you're the only one, you're the only one for me... and if you asked, I'd get down on my knees. You know you're the only one, you're the only one for me.
