1 00:00:03:21 00:00:09:00 The internet is a great place to find new music and rediscover
old favourites, 2 00:00:09:01 00:00:12:00 and you can do it
without even leaving the house. 3 00:00:12:01 00:00:18:22 Instead of going
to a shop to buy a CD, you buy music from a website as a digital file,
4 00:00:18:23 00:00:22:01 either as an individual song, or a whole album.
5 00:00:22:02 00:00:28:00 There are many music stores on the internet, and Telstra has its
own – it's called BigPond Music. 6 00:00:28:01 00:00:32:03 At this website,
you can search for music, browse the latest releases,
7 00:00:32:04 00:00:35:07 and listen to previews of songs and even whole albums.
8 00:00:35:08 00:00:40:02 When you're ready to make a purchase, you just download songs
and albums to your computer. 9 00:00:40:03 00:00:43:02 You can listen to
your music on your computer, 10 00:00:43:03 00:00:49:18 or copy the files
to your phone or MP3 player, and you can even connect it to your home’s hifi system.
11 00:00:49:19 00:00:55:16 To access BigPond Music, you need to create an
account on the BigPond Music website. 12 00:00:55:17 00:01:02:20 To do this, start
your web browser, and type in the address you see in the browser's address bar.
13 00:01:02:21 00:01:06:03 Click 'Sign Up' in the top right corner of the screen.
14 00:01:06:04 00:01:14:02 Fill in your details on this screen, and be aware that you'll need
to provide an email address and credit card details.
15 00:01:14:03 00:01:17:13 Bigpond Music will send you an email so you
can activate the account. 16 00:01:17:14 00:01:21:05 Click on the link
in the email and you're ready to go. 17 00:01:21:06 00:01:23:05 Now you can buy
songs. 18 00:01:23:06 00:01:30:15 Go back to the
BigPond Music website, and sign in your email address and BigPond Music password.
19 00:01:30:16 00:01:39:13 Now let's search. We'll try 'Frank Sinatra'. Type his name into
the search bar next to the 'bpm' logo. 20 00:01:39:14 00:01:49:01 The website now
shows a list of good old 'Blue Eyes' albums and tracks. A track is an individual
song on an album. 21 00:01:49:02 00:01:53:01 Click on an album
cover, and you can see a list of tracks appear.
22 00:01:53:02 00:01:56:10 Click on 'Add to Cart' to buy the whole album
23 00:01:56:11 00:02:01:00 or click 'Add to Cart' on individual tracks to
buy an individual song. 24 00:02:01:01 00:02:07:07 Now you can hear
a 30 second preview of each track when you click the little speaker icon.
25 00:02:07:08 00:02:14:00 Once you've added the album or tracks you liked to the cart,
click the 'Check Out' button at the top of the page.
26 00:02:14:01 00:02:18:04 Your credit card will now be charged and
the music files will download. 27 00:02:18:05 00:02:24:02 You can listen
to them with a music program that comes with your computer, like Windows Media Player.
28 00:02:24:03 00:02:32:07 If you don't want to buy music, you can always listen to internet
radio like the ABC – and that's free. 29 00:02:32:08 00:02:34:22 Type this address
(www.abc.net.au) into your web browser,
30 00:02:34:23 00:02:38:00 and use the search bar to find your favourite station.
31 00:02:38:01 00:02:44:07 Then click 'Listen Live' on the station's web page to hear music
through your computer speakers. 32 00:02:44:08 00:02:49:07 Remember that on
an internet radio station, you can't save the music for later,
33 00:02:49:08 00:02:54:06 you can only listen to it live, like a radio.
But you can hear stations 34 00:02:54:07 00:03:04:04 that don't broadcast
in your area, as well as overseas stations. And the best part is they're all static-free!
