What's in our music library?
A couple of years back we ambitiously tried to keep a complete list of our music
library updated on the site. But, it has grown too large, too rapidly for that
anymore. It is managed with a database program but not the same software as our
hosting servers use. At any rate, you're probably not looking for the entire
list anyway.
As of March 2004, the library contains over 2,000
Blues tracks (in over 1,600 albums), about 1,000 swing tunes and another
2,000 jazz tracks. All of this is enough to insure we deliver a fresh, varied
mix of sounds every time we broadcast.
Our collection has grown through a number of
methods with a number of media: CDs, cassettes, and retail MP3 tracks.
The first
two are no-brainers. But, a lot of listeners are not familiar with buying music
electronically. The two main sources we've used for electronic purchases have
been emusic.com and MP3.com. MP3.com gives away thousands of tracks, as does
IUMA.com. But, they also sell music electronically.
At e-music.com you'll find an extensive Blues
collection. And, it's all available to you for only $9.95 or $14.95 a month --
that's 40 or 65 tunes a month, respectively. And, they constantly update the
collection. Like traditional record distributors, e-music often buys up other
companies' collections; not surprising since they're owned by Universal-Vivendi
(soon to be just Universal again, if the Wall Street folks are accurate).
If you do become a subscriber at e-music.com, do
it through us and TheBluesNet.com will earn a commission that will help us
continue delivering the blues around the globe. It won't be much but every
little bit helps with our very non-profit venture.

100% Salsa is exactly what the name implies, 100% of the best Salsa music of
yesterday and today. The word Salsa "sauce" is the perfect name
for a genre of music that is made up of several different cultures and
sounds. Though the exact origins of Salsa are still debated today, Cuba or
Puerto Rico, we can all agree that Salsa is an art form that will never tarnish.
