Building MySpace.com webpage complete with music and videos. Help.

Greetings fellow Carrie Underwood fans.

I have a question.

Let me set it up.

I step into the living room and I see Carrie Underwood’s “Carnival Ride” CD along with about half a dozen other CD’s. I say what is this doing here?

You see, “Carnival Ride” lives in the van. We listen to it when we take Alys, my daughter to school and back, so it is definitely (at least in my mind) out of place in the living room.

She says she is putting together a MySpace.com webpage. Okay. She says she is going to load songs from the CD's to her MySpace.com webpage.

“Danger, Will Robinson!”

I tell her that she can’t do that; they will throw her in jail.

Of course, I am laughed at for being so naïve. That's O.K. I have developed a thick skin.

Then she tells me that MySpace.com webpage builders can go to the Carrie Underwood site and “download” music and videos and place them on their MySpace.com webpages.

Now dear reader: I have been surfing the net since oohhhh 1995 and I’m sure I could teach you something and you could probably teach me something, but I remember the flap over Napster, but it never meant a hoot to me because I am from the pre-mp3 generation. Compared to a CD played on a good or excellent stereo system, I think mp3’s sound (how shall I put it?) awful. So if I like music enough to want to possess it, I go buy the CD at Amazon.

However, this business about building MySpace.com webpages and including music and uploading tunes from CD’s versus “downloading” music and videos from www.carrieunderwoodofficial.com and installing them on MySpace.com webpages has my head spinning.

If anyone can clear any of this up for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

And, oh, by the way, I remember Carrie Underwood on TV competing with all of the other superstar singer wannabees on “American Idol”, but it wasn’t until my daughter started playing “Carnival Ride” in the van, day in and day out, that I started to appreciate some of the songs and then pay attention to the lyrics and get hooked, too.

If Carrie Underwood keeps turning out CD’s like “Carnival Ride”, I, too, will be in line to buy that music, too.
