I will be reviewing the MSN Music service shortly, but for a limited time, buy a song on MSN Music and get 5 free! Offer expires July 10, 2005 and is limited to one use per account. If you want more free music, I guess you could always create more accounts.

Some people have already voiced their concerns about this site’s iTunes/iPod coverage (relax it’s only been two days!) so in turn, I have decided to cover another service, Real’s Rhapsody. With a large song library and different payment choices, Rhapsody shows great potential.

I just switched all the news feeds from the day old system, to a Feedburner feed, simply because it allows me to keep track of how popular the feeds are. It gives the site a few more options by allowing users to add the TipMonkies feeds to My Yahoo, Bloglines, and others. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, check out the Wikipedia entry for RSS. I’ll be discussing feeds in some articles in the near future.
I’d also like to announce that I finally convinced a couple people to sign onboard for the TipMonkies Podcast which will begin in a couple of weeks. Not sure what podcasts are? Stay tuned for tomorrow’s article on podcasts!

I began reading about audiobooks a few years ago, but never really paid attention. As an English major and writing minor at the university, I always had to read lots of books during the semester. Granted, I was never one to study much, but I did spend enough time reading textbooks and articles that I was prevented from doing other things. Recently, I learned that a good friend of mine had begun to learn Mandarin Chinese, and not through any conventional means, but through an audiobook. This article discusses the importance of audiobooks, and provides some valuable resources in attaining some.

As promised, here is part 2 of Cool iPod apps. In the last tip, we discussed GoogleGet, a simple application which synchronizes Google News with your iPod. Today we’re going to kick it up a notch (BAM!), and bring you what is possibly the most useful application you could have if you don’t own some kind of PDA device. I’m talking of course, about iPod Agent.
