A Treasure...

What if I tell you, there is an item that has became a new gadget for lot of persons who like to relax and discover the feelings that music can give us?. Music is therapy, has long been used to help people deal with their emotions. Robert Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy argued that music and dance were critical in treating mental illness, especially melancholia. He noted that music has an excellent power to fight with many other diseases. Music is not just for relaxing, the big diversity of music give us the opportunity to make the music an art not just for listening, you can feel different emotions while listening, such as fear, happiness, sadness, desesperation etc.
Nowadays, new technologies like the mp3 or as we know the iPod have been changing the idea of listening to music, every moment, every place or just to kill boredom is good for listening to music. The increasing popularity of listening to music as digital music files on MP3 players, iPods, or computers, and of trading music on file sharing sites or buying it online in the form of digital files had a major impact on the traditional music business. Many smaller independent CD stores went out of business as music buyers decreased their purchases of CDs, and many labels had lower CD sales. Some companies did well with the change to a digital format, though, such as Apple's iTunes, an online store which sells digital files of songs over the Internet.
On the other hand not everybody have the plan to get an iPod, but almost everybody like music, Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretationcan and this can reflects the personality of people.
Music is composed and performed for many purposes, religious or ceremonial purposes, or as an entertainment product for the marketplace. Amateur musicians compose and perform music for their own pleasure, and they do not derive their income from music.
We should take advantage of the new items we have, but in fact, something that we must understand is that the real treasure we have is the music and we should enjoy it and discover new forms of art that can change our lifes.
