Podcast
Songsalive! announces the introduction of a special PODCAST which you hear as you enter our website - delivering you the best songs from our Elite Members' catalog of music.
If you don't know what "podcasting" is, don't worry! You're not the first to ask. Podcasting is a new trend, and there are a lot of people who haven't heard of it or don't know exactly what it is. Basically,
podcasting is like blogging, but with audio. ("Blogging," which stands for "web logging," means maintaining a web-based journal).
We offer Podcasting promotion free to our Elite members.
