How do I create a collection on Lala?
There are two simple ways to add music into your Lala collection:
- Find new music on Lala and then add it to your web collection for unlimited listening. Adding a web song to your collection is only 10 cents. And your first 50 web songs are free!
- Take the music you already have and make it playable anywhere on the web. Music Mover instantly adds the music you own to your Lala collection for free.
A web song is a song that lives on the internet. Each web song is only 10 cents, and your first 50 web songs are free!
When you buy a web song it is added to your Lala collection. You can then listen to it as many times as you like, from any web browser. You can also add it to playlists. If you later decide to also buy the MP3, the 10 cents you paid for the web song is credited towards the MP3.

The majority of the MP3s on Lala are available for only 89 cents. If you've already purchased the web song, that 10 cents is applied toward the final MP3 purchase (so the MP3 is an additional 79 cents).
All of the MP3s on Lala are DRM-free music downloads, and are compatible with iTunes and Windows Media Player.
The vast majority of our MP3 files are encoded using variable bit rates (VBR), aiming at an average of 256 kilobits per second (kbps). Lala will notify you of the bitrate for the specific track you are purchasing before you confirm an MP3 purchase.

Music Mover will then find all of the songs on your computer. If a song on your computer matches Lala’s licensed catalog, it will instantly be added to your online collection. The remaining songs that were not matched will then begin uploading to your collection behind the scenes. software.

When in England , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush.
He answered by saying, 'Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.'

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying 'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?'
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: 'Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?'

A U..S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries.
Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English.' He then asked, 'Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?'
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied 'Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.'

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.
'You have been to France before, monsieur?' the customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.
Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.'
The American said, ''The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it.
'Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France !'
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to.'
