  Here is an article on mp3 in today's Hindu. Talks about piracy, might be of relevance here.
  Inteerstingly, Raja Mohan has been made famous overnight with his reference by THE HINDU.
  
  Ripping into music money
  
  
  ``SONGS, INSTEAD of complete albums'' is the predicted nature of music selling in future. Music giants and online conglomerates have lined up plans for selling music this way. But, all in the West.
  
  This is the world of MP3 and the universal music mall they target is the Internet. Whether it is by design or chance, Tamil film songs too have found a place in this sprawling virtual shop.
  
  Tamil film songs are one of the most commonly available Indian MP3 content over the Internet. Songs from the latest films are now available in MP3 format over the Net and can be freely downloaded.
  
  Unlike the music from badly pirated audio-cassettes, music duplicated in MP3 form is of digital quality and is convenient to play. Dial up to the Net, download and play over and over again. No cassette or CD, and most of the time, no separate hardware other than the computer.
  
  Though MP3 became a rage only in the recent past, there are tens of sites that provide Tamil songs in the MP3 format, that too from the latest films. Interestingly, none of them is run by an established name or music company, but by amateurs of the Tamil Diaspora all over the world. The user saves not only on the cost of the CD, but also on shelf-space. Convenience of usage is a bonus.
  
  At all the sites, the songs are well organised and the user can download song by song. While in the conventional way, one needs to buy the entire album even if one wants to listen to a single song, over the Net it could be song-specific. Just download the song of one's preference.
  
  Another advantage are the features of new MP3 players, the mandatory software packages that are required to play MP3 in computers, that are now available. Using high-utility graphic equalisers one can alter the quality of music in a way which is not possible in the conventional CD/cassette players.
  
  Interestingly, the MP3 songs reflect the market situation and A.R.Rahman is the top favourite, whether it is ``Thevaker's'' collection ``Mohan's TamilMP3 collection,'' followed by Ilayaraja and S. A. Raj Kumar. Almost all Rahman songs are now downloadable and the file size ranges from 2 mb to 3 mb which takes about five minutes to ten minutes to download depending upon the speed of dial-up connection.
  
  However, unlike the West, unauthorised duplication and free distribution of music over the Net has not caused any anxiety to the local music industry as yet. ``It is just a minuscule part of the market,'' said a leading music producer. Industry sources say that the scale of distribution and use of MP3 is negligible. ``But it will be a part of our strategy in future,'' he says.
  
  If ``MP3'' is the most searched word after ``sex'' over the Net, a query for ``Tamil MP3'' can bring forth a surprising number of sites. And the number is growing.

  Can any one tell what are IRs future films apart from Hey Ram?

  Saw Kannukul Nilavu y'day... decent movie... slow in the first half and gets better towards the closing scenes... BGM has sparks of brilliance, but like someone commented earlier, seems to have some vaccum slots now and then (I noticed this in TIME's BGM too)... the final score just before the finish and which comes now and then, is too good (reminded me of the humming in Guru Charanam from Guru).. Can't wait for it to appear on the net..
  
  Nice surprise was how well Vijay can sing melody songs too... he has sung 'Oru Naal Oru kanavu' and 'Iravu pagalai theda' pretty well (though just small pieces of it)
  
  Disappointment was that my favourite 'Iravu Pagalai' comes as a title song, and so probably will not be shown in the TV programs..
  
  A movie worth watching... especially for IR..
  
  Kumar :)

  Hi,
  Kumars review of Kannukkul Nilavu was perfect, the start was not slow the pace was picking up as the time progressed and the transition from romance to a thriller was really well done.
  Vijay's acting/singing was great, Shalini, Raghuvaran too performed well.
  Fazil- Maestro combo always works out great all the songs were superb and asusual thalaivar glitters in the song expressing mothers love. BGM- ... Raja is Raja.

  The only thing IR/Fassil could've avoided in KN is the `adidA meLaththa' song (and probably shorten / avoid the `gym fight' sequence). Otherwise, the movie is close to perfection, IMO! I think these are added to satisfy vijay fav's...The boy has done a neat job, though!

  Now that the much awaited KN and HR has been released and has lived upto expectations, what do we look forward to next?
  
  Any word on that BR-IR story on 'singarachennai'?
  
  I have heard this same story atleast a 100 times before, therefore I am waiting to hear more before believing it.
  
  ....later

  Hi Friends! This thread has entered into the 3rd year now!! Well done guys!! (Is there any other thread which is this much old and goes still strong??)

  Couldn't watch the full 20 min of video (Thanks MPR). Still SunTV folks dont seem to be using a teleprompter. Kamal is an interesting guy. He seems to be speaking with a professional and philosophical maturity.
  Looking forward to watching the movie.
  
  
• From: paamaran (@ tog-wakko1b.prognet.com) on: Mon Jan 24 14:30:54 EST 2000
  
  In the preview Kamal says IR as "Man for all seasons" .Moreover he says "When LS and i had to part due to money reasons, i went to my old friend Raja. We decided to reshoot the song sequences. But then it came to my mind that in Raaja paarvai - i had shooted a song and came to IR and he filled the sequence with a beautiful song. We planned to use the same technique.IT has worked very well - the songs have come a superhit."
  Also this is the first time in an Indian movie, we are using 90 piece (oru violin rendu violin illai) European orchestra - for the music composed by IR - a Tamilian.

  nice little promo program at suntv(or is it numtv?)
  kiru, teleprompter? for kamal? i dont think he'll prefer it himself. though he seemed to be searching for words and using more english words, both of which he usually does'nt do.
