SPEAKING PARTS 2& 3


SPEAKING PART 2

LISTEN TO ROSY’S ANSWER


Well, the website I’m going to talk about is called CD Baby. Um, it sounds like a music
website for babies, but it isn’t that at all. What it is is, it’s basically a site where you
can listen to ordinary people, I mean people who aren’t famous, you know, not
professionals. You can listen to their music, and they might be a solo artist or a band or
whatever. You can buy their CDs on the site, or just play some selected tracks – there
are all sorts of… many different types of music like jazz, blues, folk or rock. So… what
people do is they make a CD in a recording studio somewhere. I don’t know whether
some people set up the recording equipment in their own home… you know there’s so
much software around that you can use if you have the right kind of knowledge and
skill, and, um, then they have to make some copies of their CD and send them to CD
Baby.

I meant to say earlier – it’s an American site… I think it’s based in Oregon, so the CDs
have to be sent there. And there are a few online forms that you have to fill in because
you’re basically selling something over the Internet. Um, it’s mainly young people who
put their music on the site – though there’s no age limit – and they’re usually talented
musicians and composers. Some of them might have their own bands or play regularly
somewhere and they hope a talent scout will spot them on the website!
As well as musicians, anyone can listen to the site and order the CDs online if they want
to. I love this website because you get to hear original music, and whatever you
choose, it’s always really good.
