Thousands of Free Music Videos

I was dissapointed to find out that Winamp’s built-in Nullsoft (AOL) Video seems to have cut its listing significantly, cutting aritsts and videos that I had previous seen from their list of thousands of free music videos.

Then, I was surprised to see that although they weren’t listed, all the videos that I had saved in an old playlist were still available, even though they weren’t listed. The lesson? Always bookmark everything you want to revisit - even individual videos.

If you want to see the current list, you can either go to AOL’s music channel (works even if you don’t have AOL) and play them using the AOL media player in your browser, or download and install Winamp [direct download of non-emusic full version] and access the video list through it’s media library under Nullsoft Videos.

If you have Winamp already, here are some videos you can check out. In order to make sure the video plays properly, you will need to

  • right-click the links below
  • on the menu, copy the shortcut (link)
  • open Winamp
  • press [CTRL] + [L] to open a URL
    • (that means press and hold the [CTRL] key while you tap the [L] key)
  • then press [CTYL] + [V] to paste the video’s link into the window.

I guess I have an eclectic taste? By the way, since I included some Switchfoot videos, I’ll shamelessly link to a blog entry I wrote about them in 2004. I called it “The Case of Californians.”

Our Best Yet: Video Cast 5 - Can you answer our question?

This week’s video cast is very important to watch. So far thousands of people are downloading these short videos, and in this, episode 5, we ask a very, very important question - and we need to hear from you to answer it. Please watch this video, and then contact us with your answer - it’s very important for us to hear from you! (This is also a less than 6mb download, and very funny - at least to us ;) If you’d like to post this video cast to another site, or submit it somewhere, please feel free (just don’t change the name)
