My record, "Gardening from the Ground Up Part 1," will be available for purchase on iTunes Mexico in 2 to 4 weeks! I don't know if I have any fans down in Mexico, but maybe I will now.

If that's where you live then please look out for it and tell friends!

Other iTunes stores where you can buy the music now...iTunes US, iTunes Canada, iTunes UK/European Union, iTunes Australia/NZ, iTunes Japan.

Excellent iTunes Update

"Home Sharing" in the latest iTunes update is Apple's answer to my iTunes complaint!

In a recent blog I complained about the difficulty I have managing my multiple computer's music in iTunes. Each computer has it's own iTunes "library" registered under my one account with Apple. If I bought music on one computer, it would NOT automatically show up in the libraries of the others. It made buying music very inefficient! I never really knew what music I owned.

But, now they've added a feature called "home sharing" where you can easily import music bought on one of your home computers into the other computer's libraries.

This is such a big deal to me, it actually renews my excitement in digital music!

I encourage everyone to download this update and enjoy this feature if you have more than one computer! Thanks apple!!

Why I Don't Buy More Music

Two Reasons

1) Syncing issues -

I have two computers that share music. The music is stored on my Apple Time Capsule external hard drive and is accessed from there. But, when I buy music on one computer it doesn't automatically show up in iTunes on the other computer. I want to be able to buy music from both computers and have them both constantly in sync. After much research I've found that this is not possible except in a very tedious method. So, I don't really want to listen to music in iTunes or buy more music. It's too frustrating.

2) It's too expensive - 

I'm sorry, but I want to buy A LOT of music and when I think about how much that will cost it is daunting. So, I end up buying very little. Now I only buy music that I think will directly influence my singing style, music that I can consider directly useful to my job.

I believe these issues will be resolved in the future, but for now I'm stuck in the middle.

You Know You Need A Fresh Ringtone

That ringtone of yours is soooo stale and you know it! Now is the perfect time for a change.

Because...Sarah Elizabeth Foster ringtones are now available for sale on the top ringtone websites!

I was first alerted to the demand for Sarah Elizabeth Foster ringtones from my close friend Amy Owen. I was hanging out with her when someone called her and I heard my song "Wake Up!" It was so exciting to see that she was enjoying my music in this way. I was beyond flattered!

She has an iPhone, so she was able to buy the ringtone on iTunes. BUT, iTunes ringtones are only available for iPhone owners and people who originally bought the song digitally on iTunes. (strict restrictions!)

But Amy got me thinking about ringtones, and I decided to look into making them available for people who don't have iPhones, and now that day has finally come.

I can't list all the different kinds of phones and carriers that are eligible to buy them here, but when you try to buy a ringtone, these sites will notify you if your phone is not compatible.

FYI: Nancy has a blackberry on Verizon and was able to buy a ringtone from Thumbplay, but not Myxer.

I hope you consider downloading a ringtone, it is the cool thing to do!

Here are your options.
