Experimenting With Embedding MP3 Files

I'm experimenting with embedding MP3 files, so bare with me. Maybe listen to this, and jam on it, while looking at the rest:

This is Terebulius, from Al Phlipp and the Woo Team's Experimental Album II. Which I've talked about before, but I'm now actually embedding the .mp3 audio. Which I find extra cool.




Another from the same album, called "I Love You":
That, in turned, was based on a oft-repeated motif song for Al Phlipp, "I Hate You". One of the many versions of that song was first heard in 1986, on the original Experimental Album.

And here's the album art for that:

Okay, One More Thing On ShopWiki, and I'm Done

Which is that they also have region-localized version of the service, like ShopWiki UK (look for Complete Outfits for Women there now, for example). Remember, the folks listed on ShopWiki don't pay for placement, the way people at PriceGrabber and Shopping.com have to. So they have thousands up thousands of stores to choose from, not just those that charge you high enough that they can afford to pay expensive sites like PriceGrabber top-dollar.

And, if you're in the UK (I'm not, but I'd like to be) you could search for Women's Petite Clothing or Women's Blazers and get great result that will actually ship in/to the UK, and you'll get a lot more options than you would from PriceGrabber. Uh-huh. You know what I'm saying.

That woman could have saved money, I bet, if she'd used ShopWiki.Co.UK to search for it. That's all I'm saying, here.

All right. Enough ShopWiki. More other stuff soon. There'd be more other stuff, now, but I had a rotten day. Just so ya know.

Finding Stuff on ShopWiki is Cool. Just Saying

I like the idea, a lot. I'm a big fan of Google Products (people who know me already know this), although I was a bigger fan when it was called Froogle (just saying; I think going the "Google Products" boring route was a cop-out).


But, my kudos to the free and powerful Google Products aside, I must tell you, too, that I'm fining ShopWiki pretty awesome.

I recently had to look for some Low Voltage Halogen Lamps (yes, I really did, but, no, I won't tell you what for). I tried Google Products. Lots of great results. But I ended up making the purchase from the links I got at ShopWiki. That also served my need for finding Desk Lamps, and also when I was looking to shop for a new torch lamp, which I also had to do, recently.

Comparison shopping is the way to get the best price on the web, and ShopWiki does it well. But I'm not dissing Google Products, which I also love.


PriceGrabber and Shopping.com? Not so much. You want the best prices on stuff, they often stink--because advertisers have to pay confiscatory rates to get listed. Not so with ShopWiki or Google Products.
