How to keep connected with the music of your country, even if life has been a bit boring over the past 10 years
So, I made it to America. It's a long way from New York, Brooklyn and Brighton Beach. This city reminds me a lot of home. It's noisy, filthy, full of Russian languages, and the people are rude. I've spent a fair amount of money in Russian cafes and restaurants, as well as in books and music stores.
I love music as well as reading books. There is now a way to access Russian literature on Kindle, as it has occurred recently. This is why I no longer buy hard-copy books. Furthermore, I do not have enough space in my house. My wife is almost an avid collector. So, I do all I can to not add to her pile of stuff. Stacks of books looks intelligent first few months, after that they only looked sad, until I put them in garage, where there's still enough space for my things..
However, music is a different thing. I am a huge fan of music since my job requires me to drive far distances and I listen to a lot. As a Russian immigrants, I've never learned to like any new music that I have discovered in the USA.. I'm not a fanof hip hop or rap. The latest music that kids love to dance to. I love the old Russian music, and also those songs with a jail theme that are especially suited to Russian music world. These songs are still very popular in Russia, even after 20 years. They aren't on CDs. They are typically tapes found in cars and YouTube videos. Youtube is now the only place to find all the data. So I can spend hours watching music on YouTube when I'm working or when I get home from work.
And so after a while I've put together a long playlist with more than 300 songs I truly am in love with. Since there are more than 300 songs, it's easy to become accustomed to the tunes. When I need to listen to songs in my car but I don't have enough internet. It's crucial for navigation, driving and also for my personal enjoyment. I do the preparations at home. I'm now in the middle. I take a few songs on Youtube as mp3 files. Then I burn the MP3s onto a CD using my computer. Next I take the disc to my car and listen. The website can print a Youtube playlist, and then convert each song to MP3 and save it on my computer at home. It's then easy to convert it to an audio CD. Sometimes I'm prone to making a mistake and end up making a data CD. It won't play on my car stereo. But, audio can be recorded. It's fascinating to observe how technology works. I don't have to go online or have any other device to play MP3. Just insert the CDs into the stereo slot, and I can hear Russian music blasting in Manhattan.
youtube link downloader It's easy to download videos from Youtube and save them as mp3 files. Then, you can download them onto your Smartphone. I saw a friend of mine connected his phone to car stereo, and it was playing very good quality sound in just a couple of seconds. He was also able to stream Pandora radio and Spotify, so it's not even requiring a lot of Internet to stream this. I think this is my next step to try. However, I'll be sure to use free WiFi.
