Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

How Convenient? Buy Your Music Downloads At 7-ElevenSo now you can buy Musicmatch Music Download Cards at your local 7-Eleven. Why anyone would want to take a trip to 7-Eleven for their digital downloads is beyond me; I mean, doesn't that defeat the purpose? Although 7-Eleven is a convenience store it's downright inconvenient to purchase a little piece of plastic, walk or drive back to your home or office, and input the card's information into your computer.
That said, I'm not that dim. I do see some usefulness here, such as when you don't have a credit or ATM card with one of those omnipresent VISA symbols. I mean hell, some of us barely have bank accounts. I just don't think there's enough of us without bank accounts who've somehow managed to keep an expensive PC lying around, and for those of us with a computer at work, do we really want to purchase music we can only listen to at the office? May as well stick with Internet radio if you're not going to be able to take the tunes home... Okay, so there's the kids. The kids don't have credit cards yet, but their parents bought them a shiny new PC for their homework, which the kids will quickly turn into a digital jukebox instead. So the kids stop by 7-Eleven on their way home from school to get that new Ashlee Simpson song. The only problem is, do you really want your kids hanging around your local 7-Eleven to get their music fix, while the local heroine addict hangs outside the store - waiting for his fix? Wasn't it better the old way, leaving your kids off at the mall, the real mall, where they could browse the selection at the Wherehouse?
