Since rating music is considered to be a personal matter, there are some who think that it does not matter how these [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I have publicly disclosed my love affair with iTunes, I thought I would share some the my lessons in love. The first lesson I learnt in importing one&#8217;s music library into iTunes is: Do it right from the beginning. (Not really helpful eh?) What I mean by &#8220;right&#8221;, is that you should import all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have loved music for as long as I can remember. Playing music on records (I still remember my first record player and albums when I was six), then to cassettes, and then CDs. But it was the combination of music and computers that opened up new possibilities to think about music. Combining music with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a discussion with a friend about musical talent. We both love music and discussed why we never ended up playing it. We arrived at different conclusions about why this happened. For me, I remember making a conscious decision when I was about 17 years old to give up on playing music. I loved [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Ecology of Art was inspired by some excellent articles that I believe summarize the Art of Art Criticism. J.P. Simmon (link lost) wrote: &#8220;Music &#8211; is not an ethical realm, but a realm of feeling. It not about ethics (right and wrong) but about how one experiences something.
