Planet of Music

If astronomers were forced to classify the well-trafficked Planet of Music, the designation would be ”gas giant”: enormous, far-flung, and diffuse, with no defined core. A victim of the annoying ”make us your homepage — and your only page!” trend, this California-based clearinghouse offers not only downloads and streaming music but also news, blackjack games (using Planet’s currency, ”SpeedyBucks”), parenting advice, kids’ pages, and more, more, more. Do we really need a map of Africa to accompany our Britney Spears? Too much information!
